Big, boozy Belize dessert bomb For experienced palates who enjoy powerful yet pastry‑gourmand rums. This 14‑year Travellers Belize at 67.3% is unsweetened but tastes like warm cookies: toasted coconut, caramel, chocolate, vanilla and tropical fruit, with long, woody-spicy warmth.

Could be much milder ... Nevertheless, a nice Belize with good cojones and a fairly typical profile! But the alcohol could be much better integrated, hence slight deductions in the overall rating.
Review by Jakob
Solid, typical Belize with a bit of a salty twist.

#4310 21.10.2023 nice evening with the RumX guys.
Review by Mike H.
A very complex rum that needs to be left in the glass for 30 minutes for all the flavours to come out. Another excellent bottling by Swell de Spirits.
Review by Serge
Schöne Aromen, toller Rum. Etwas bissig bzw. Etwas mehr Schmelz und Cremigkeit wäre schön. Aber sonst lecker.
Review by Leo Krüper
Very similar to RX14093, but more mature and also rounder despite even more %.Great rum that needs time. Very balanced profile.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum de Travellers qui se veut aussi puissant que gourmand. La noix de coco et la banane se partagent le nez avec le caramel, le biscuit et le sucre brun pour un côté à la fois opulent et onctueux. Le chocolat au lait et les épices vont de pair avec un boisé gourmand et les notes grillées de noisette pour offrir une sorte de bonbon olfactif. En bouche, l’alcool est dompté par les notes pâtissières de caramel au beurre et de toffee. Il y a un côté sirupeux qui rend le rhum très gouleyant. Chocolat, noix de coco, gâteau, cookie, fruits secs, muscade et vanille forment la colonne vertébrale au palais. Un rhum extrêmement moelleux et facile d’approche. La finale est de bonne longueur, sur des arômes similaires. Le toffee, l’amande et la touche saline et de cognac donnent un peu de consistance en fin de bouche. Un très bon rhum, mais sûrement trompeur de par son haut degré et ses arômes des plus doux. Une excellente alternative pour les débutants dans le monde du rhum.
Review by Rodolphe
Beaucoup apprécié ce belize ce soir, pour sa belle gourmandise. Si la bouteille avait toujours été disponible j'en aurais achetée une je pense.
Review by Johannes
Erstaunlich guter Belize! Schöne Komplexität mit grenzwertigem Alkohol.
Review by Skyfly
Toller komplexer Rum aus Belize. Viel Kokosnuss und Tropische Früchte von Nase bis Abgang. Daneben leichte Fassnoten, gebrannter Zucker, Butterscotch, Banane und Gewürze - in Nase über Gaumen bis Abgang in unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen. Für mich ein richtig guter Rum!
Review by cigares
Un Bélize très agréable à la fois doux et vif. Des notes de Demerara avec du cuir et de bois vernis mais aussi des fruits tropicaux et des esthers, une réussite.
Review by alex
Superb this swell once again. A real little candy, especially after an aeration of at least 20/30 minutes. Very greedy, nice length, lots of aroma and complexity and nice integration of the alcohol. I love it 🤩😍
Review by Basti
