Sip it neat with a good rest in the glass and you get the classic Belize Travellers signature: coconut, vanilla, milk chocolate and toasted oak, with roasted peanuts and coffee underneath. Despite the 56.3% the alcohol sits well. Most tasters call it easy and gourmand but a bit shy — one flags a metallic, green-pepper edge on the first sips.
The community says- Coconut and chocolate
- Great alcohol integration
- Keep in mind: Shy, closed nose

How does Valinch & Mallet Travellers The Spirit of Art 2006 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Easy coconut-chocolate Belize, tasty but shy Well-made, easy-drinking Belize with coconut, chocolate and vanilla. Almost everyone likes it, but most agree it stays shy and lacks depth for a 16-year cask-strength single cask.

Classic Belize: Pronounced pleasing and quaffable, but the rum is somewhat lacking in aromatic complexity. In addition to the sweetness of vanilla, toffee, chocolate still get a few hints of cappuccino and peanuts and leicjte spiciness in the taste spectrum. Very good alcohol integration.

The nose is really closed, too thin to be good, with time seems not to improve. Drink wise it is a little better, caramel chocolate and some spices, especially when given a good rest. but this is not enough given the not perfect alcohol integration. Seems a doorly's 12 with too much alcohol in it.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A nice travellers but a bit overpriced compared to what you get. Warm and spicy on the palate with chocolate. The coffee notes are very subtle. Make sure to rest it for a good while to release all flavours.
Review by Maxence
Nose is very round but slightly too shy. Palate is more funky but still very sugary and round with a lot of coconut, vanilla and pastries. A nice daily sipper 😋 Good job Valinch & Mallet for this release 👊
Review by Boletus
Not quite as dark and toasty as I've come to expect from this distillery, but otherwise with the typical toasty oak flavors of vanilla and coconut combined with a caramelly raisin sweetness. Briefly a little spicy in the mouth, as if I had bitten into a green peppercorn, which bothers me a little, but in the aftertaste I find an exciting hint of salted peanuts. Great fun!
Review by Eric Frechin
Tasted in a lineup. No problem with origin, you find many characteristics corresponding to Travelers' Belize like chocolate, vanilla and coconut. Too bad the coconut fades a bit at the beginning and middle of the palate. I found the palate a bit too spicy on the first sips with a slightly metallic sensation.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A very conventional rum from Belize. The nose develops on coconut, lightly toasted oak leading to a gourmand milk chocolate, coffee, nuts and soft spices (vanilla, pepper, salt). Sweetness is present notably with caramel and bourbon. The aromatic is soft and pleasant but without great complexity. On the palate, a very easy-drinking rum opens on coconut, caramel, toffee, dark chocolate, oak, nuts and spices. The profile drinks easily, perfect for relaxing rum. The alcohol is very well integrated in this mass of sweetness. The profile is however quite shy and does not manage to capture the whole palate. It also lacks depth and complexity. The finish is relatively short and shy, but leaves a trail of warm caramel, toffee, spices, dark chocolate, coffee, nuts and roasted wood on a bed of coconut. The profile remains constant from start to finish. An easy and no-fuss rum, nevertheless a bit expensive compared to the quality of the drink.
Review by Basti
The nose is very closed at first and becomes more intense with time. Quite reserved and unspectacular on the palate. Definitely similar to FS, but less intense.
Review by alex
It's well-made, with well-integrated alcohol and good length, it's greedy and rather pleasant to drink. After all, I can't compare it with any other rum from this distillery, as it's my first. I like it a lot all the same 😉
