Review by Jan Lu
Ein bisschen scharfkantig aber dennoch ein ordentlicher Rum für Belize Liebhaber wie mich. Mir schmeckt der etwas besser als dem Rest hier 😀 Der Abgang ist schön lang und etwas bitter aber noch im Rahmen.
Review by Antoine Asaro
Quite ordinary Travellers which suffer from usual flaws of the distillery, monolithic and linear
Review by Caroni.Martin
Viel Belize Kokosnuss - kann die schlechten Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen- schönes Teil
Review by Tim
Der Rum ist zurückhaltend an der Nase und liegt schwer Richtung Holz, Erde und Kräuter. Dazu gibt es vor allem Zitrusfrüchte. Die typischen Belizearomen findet man zwar auch, aber insgesamt wirkt das alles etwas unausgewogen.
Review by Christian Rudt
Tasted rum at the Aquavitae and bought to share. Since the conversation at the stand was more about Hampden and other things, there was finally room for the rum. Once again a Travellers from Belize. The nose is beautifully fruity with citrus fruit and a little pineapple, coconut aromas come in after a short time and take over, but leave enough space. Fruity and spicy on the palate, a little peach can be tasted but not too sweet. The whole thing is not overly complex, but that's not to be expected from the column style distillation here. In my opinion, the abv is a good 60%, which makes the rum much smoother. Finishes dry with an elegant sweetness. A beautiful Belize.
Review by DomM
Nose is somewhat different to other 2006 with some herbs and mdecinical notes.
Review by Galli33
This one from RA took the 2nd place in my Belize tasting. From the start to end a really good Rum and with all the typical Belize notes. The really interesting thing of this one are the floral, juniper notes which I found on the palate. The finish is medium long and typical Belize 😏
Review by Lukas Jäger
Irgendwie hatte ich mir da mehr erhofft. Eindeutig spanischer Stil, auch mit ordentlich Geschmack, aber irgendwie auch nicht gut. Ich habe hier starke Assoziationen an Gin, die für mich gar nicht zum Rest passen. Dazu eine präsente Zitrusnote in Richtung Ananas. Irgendwie kein typischer Belize, auch wenn dann doch noch etwas Kokosnuss rumkommt. Insgesamt gibt es aus Belize aber bessere Abfüllungen.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Great nose! Has something of bergamot and sandalwood, almost perfumed... The taste is also slightly perfumed but then again the rather typical, somewhat one-dimensional note of milk chocolate, coconut and intense woody tannins as well as creme brulee. Not 100% my cup of tea, but overall an absolutely stable, delicious Belize single cask with a really good PLV. There are just a lot of them on the market already... Would be interesting to do a 2006 Vintage cross tasting round here!
Review by Werni
Von der Nase her könnte er auch ein schlechterer Foursquare sein.😀 Volle Breitseite Wacholderbeeren/Gingeschmeck, nicht wirklich passend, dazu viel Fass und Alkohol. Nicht zu vergleichen mit dem anderen RA, der echt gut war. Nicht mein Fall.
Review by Jacques etdom
Nez assez fermé, une légère coco et un léger chocolat. La bouche n est pas beaucoup plus intense, un peu d huile de coco, du chocolat au lait. L alcool est bien intégré, mais cela manque clairement de puissances niveau aromes. Finale relativement courte. C est bon, mais dans la seconde classe pour un Belize.
Review by Serge
Certainly not an exceptional Belize, but still very okay for the RRP. Rather on the alcoholic column side with a few disturbing off-notes (juniper) in the coconut-chocolate profile.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Auf der Aquavitae 2023 noch für sehr gut befunden und gekauft. Spätere Verkostungen konnten den ersten guten Eindruck nicht bestätigen. Solider Belize aber bedauerlicherweise kommt er an meine persönliche Benchmark in Sachen Rum aus Belize, den Rum Artesanal von 2021, nicht ansatzweise heran.
Review by Basti
Sehr floral/blumig, sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen. Könnte auch ein gereifter Gin sein. Nicht so mein Fall.
