Review by Galli33
Normally i‘m not a huge fan of belize, but this one is really special. The DOK finish brings in a fantastic note and is a good mix with the typical fruity notes known from Belize. Update: I took home a bottle, to share it with some friends. The nose is still like on the grf, but in mouth it‘s has less impact of the DOK finish. It‘s a pity… The finish is very delicious and a mix of various oak barrel notes paired with fruits and licorice. It last very long and leave an astringend feeling on the tongue. All in all it‘s an amazing Belize, for me a nice daily sipper 🤪🤪
Review by Jakob
Classic Belize representative supplemented by a slight lactic acid aroma, which evokes associations with creme brûlée for me. Could this come from the DOK finish? If so, the experiment would have succeeded at this point at the latest, because this note brings a refreshing innovation to the otherwise often little varied profile of the Travellers bottlings - which is in no way to deny the basic quality, but merely to address the somewhat limited flavor variability and diversity.
Review by Leo Krüper
Interesting Belize. I don't think the alcohol is perfectly integrated or my expectations of a Belize are a little too relaxed. The DOK finish definitely makes it unique. Reminds me a lot of a Foursquare today.
Review by Frank
It's amazing how strong the DOK finish is on the nose. So here is an aged Belize that delivers muted fruit and above all chocolate and cocoa as well as oak and a light smoky note and then 1 month of intensive maturation in intensive HD, which brings esters and tart pineapple aromas. The %% and the esters stand out a little at first. These and the tart pineapple, lime, sour cherry and green apple flavors then fade into the milder wood and chocolate aromas. Palate: the DOK finish also has an extreme influence here. Dry and astringent, bitter and salty. Goes almost in the direction of iodine. Then has clear acidity from lime and the esters. Now some licorice, tobacco and smoke gain the upper hand. Tobacco, wood, cocoa and light esters on the finish. An interesting attempt...
Review by Martin Augustin
Ein interessanter Belize. Das DOK Finish macht sich in der Nase schön bemerkbar und erweitert die typischen Noten von Vanille, Karamell und Schokolade um etwas Funk. Geschmacklich kommt tatsächlich zuerst ganz gut der High Ester durch, bevor die in der Nase erahnten Noten sich geschmacklich niederschlagen. Bietet einen langen Abgang. Gefällt mir insgesamt sehr gut.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum is a good example of a good cask finish and the price to quality is very good. Like the light woody note from start to finish.
Review by Boletus
Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass dieser eher junge Belize-Rum mit dem Einfluss des DOK-Fasses so gut harmoniert. Die von rosiniger Süße sowie Vanille und röstigen Fassaromen geprägte Grundausrichtung wird dabei nie übertüncht, sondern erfährt stattdessen durch die Esterbeigabe eine gelungene Bereicherung in Form von tropischen Früchten. Zwar bisweilen etwas ungestüm und leicht adstringent, aber insgesamt eine recht feine Sache.

Geiles sonder projekt Belize mit Hampden dok zu Finishen. Voll in die Fresse in jeder Hinsicht aber gefällt mir!
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un croisement entre un rhum Bélize et un fût de DOK. Le nez n’échappe à l’influence jamaïcaine, à la fois esterisé (colle) et fruité (ananas, banane, orange). Le côté bélizien se manifeste par des arômes de chocolat, des épices (vanille, piment), du caramel, du toffee et de la noix de coco. Le fût apporte de l’intensité à un profil bélizien assez sobre, ce qui est plutôt plaisant. Le rhum conserve sa trame exotique en bouche : les esters dominent dans un premier temps avant de laisser place aux fruits tropicaux et aux agrumes. Ces derniers couvrent le profil, qui tente une percée vers des saveurs plus traditionnelles (chocolat, épices, caramel, sucre brun, noix de coco et boisé rôti). Le profil n’est pas désagréable, mais l’ensemble est moins harmonieux et structuré que le nez. L’alcool demeure bien intégré. La finale n’est pas très longue, elle se veut sèche et astringente avec le fût et les esters qu’il contient. L’amertume se fait ressentir avec le chocolat noir, le chêne et les épices, qui se veulent plus sombres. Un rhum expérimental et pas désagréable, mais la fusion des deux univers pourrait être un peu structurée et fondue dans l’ensemble.
Review by Oliver
Das DOK-Finish bringt dem Belize einen spannenden Twist. Gelungener Spanier!
Review by Gregor
Im Geruch einfach mega. Das Dok finish kommt im Geruch sehr schön durch. Gepaart mit starkem Vanillepudding. Sehr komplex im Geruch. Im Geruch dagegen dann fast schon enttäuschend. Gerade weil ich vom Geruch her so viel erwartet habe . Der Geschmack war dann eher jamaika als Belize. Von den vanille und Karamelltönen war so gut wie gar nichts mehr da. Dafür viel Holz.
Review by Christoph
Die Nase ist HD. Der Abgang Belize. Im Geschmack wandern die Noten nach Lust und Laune hin und her. Auf der einen Seite ein sehr leckerer Rum, auf der andern Seite macht das Finish hier sehr viel mit dem Rum besonders im oberen Bereich was man mögen kann oder auch nicht.
Review by Alex Kunath
Heftiger Belize mit einem wunderbar funktionierendem DOK Fass Finish! Well done!
Review by Lukas Jäger
Tasted at the 11th GRF: Good, but nothing more. Unlike many other Belizes quite alcoholic, the over 65% are very present. Since I like another Belize from the recent past significantly better, which (mind you, at the time) were also available for somewhat smaller money.
Review by primus
Heute nehmen wir uns mal den Belize Rum vor, der im DOK Fass gefinished und inder Glasflasche schon viel zu lange aufs öffnen gewartet hat. Das Fass hat einen ziemlichen Einfluss, den man sofort in der Fruchtigkeit wahrnimmt. Das hilt für Nase und Gaumen. Recht scharf dabei, Belize ist nicht mehr stark zu erkennen. Trotzdem lecker.
