TRC Travellers Belize MBT 2006

"Nice column rum," one taster sums it up, but the 62.3% keeps getting in the way. Give it time in the glass and you get coconut, vanilla, dark chocolate and a roasted, spicy core, with an odd earthy root note a few people loved. The catch most reviewers agree on: the alcohol isn't fully tucked in, and the fruit fades fast on the palate.

The community says
  • Coconut and vanilla
  • Roasted, spicy depth

Summarized by AI from 29 community reviews.

Roasty coconut Belize, hot and boozy Most land around a good, roasty Belize with coconut, chocolate and licorice — but the heat is hot and the fruit thins out. A few call the finish too sweet.

And to finish, once Belize. You get what you expect. Very roasted, besides coconut we have (dark) chocolate and vanilla on the nose. On the palate then a mix of chocolate, barrel, spice and roastiness.

The rum needs a lot of time in the glass to fully develop its aroma. The nose is quite complex. Fruits, vanilla, chocolate, and a hint of mint. The taste is slightly sweet with a certain alcoholic sharpness, followed by espresso, allspice, and light barrel influence. The finish is medium, some sharpness, barrel, and licorice.

Belize tasting with DomM Unfortunately not as good as I expected. Belize doesn't seem to be my world.

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 250 Rums

Travellers is the rum that put Belize on the map. It began in 1953 as a bar in Belize City, grew into a family distillery under the Perdomo name, and today is synonymous with Belize rum. Its molasses spirit comes off a hurricane-proofed column still in three different marques, and a deep stock of aged casks has made it a quiet favourite of independent bottlers around the world.
