#4768 09.07.2024 Relaxing with a few samples at home. Nose Fresh, light wood, dried fruit, faint coffee, faint marzipan, light chocolate. Palate Oily, complex, balanced, wood, light roasted, light coffee, light chocolate, naturally sweet, faint coconut, light caramel. Finish Medium to long, balanced, naturally sweet, oily, light chocolate, faint coconut, dried fruit. The empty glass has vanilla, light nutts and light peach to it.

Belize Tasting with DomM The last in the series, the alcohol is not well integrated in this one either. The more I was surprised by Fiji tonight, the more disappointing Belize is. Sorry, I definitely don't have to have any more.

Rumclub No. 41 Belize 2008. Auch ein klasse Teil. Ist er in der süsseren Richtung einzuordnen, aber ganz human. Toleranz Nase, Vanille, Schokolade und Kaffe sind hier zu erkennen. Am Gaumen dann Karamell, Schokolade und Vanille. Echt lecker.
Review by DomM
Nose is dominated by alcohol. Nice intensity and more complexity vs. some of the other Belize in our cross-tasting on the palate. alcohol integration isn‘t very good, however. Finish is long and intense adding some complexity.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Toller Rum, der an der Nase mit gerösteten Kokosraspeln eher dezent erscheint, am Gaumen dann aber richtig Power entfesselt. Dem wirkt aber eine angenehme Süße etwas entgegen, das Mundgefühl bleibt aber sehr trocken
Review by Basti
Bester Travellers!?, den ich bisher im Glas hatte. Wie auch beim Ed.38 geht das Profil stark Richtung 94er NY, was mir sehr gut gefällt. Top PLV! Auch bei der 2. Verkostung aus der frisch geöffneten Flasche weiß er zu gefallen.

Belize and I just don't become friends.
Review by RumTaTa
What a beautiful Belize rum! Very powerful, intense, lovely nose with grated coconut, vanilla and dried fruit. Reminds me very much of a good Foursquare rum. Convincing on the palate again: I find all the aromas of the nose again. The alcohol makes quite a lot of steam. Better with water! The aftertaste tends to be slightly toasty. I can say without thinking twice: this is the best Belize I've had in my glass so far. I particularly recommend this rum to those who have previously enjoyed Spanish-style rums and generally as an introduction to rums at cask strength and for experimenting with the addition of water. The price-performance ratio is hard to beat!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Volle Breitseite Toffifee, geröstete Kokoschips, Mokka und dunkle Schokolade mit Fleur de sel und alles mit einem unfassbar dicken, öligen Mundgefühl bzw. Textur. Alkohol ist quasi nicht zu spüren und demnach sehr gut integriert. Wirklich guter Belize Single cask muss ich sagen, wenn auch fast schon etwas zu süß und mir persönlich etwas zu wenig Frucht und Komplexität. Aber dafür wirklich extrem süffig und gefährlich lecker. 2008 ist halt auch ein wirklich guter Jahrgang!
Review by Martin Augustin
A great Belize. With a convincing and very warm long finish. Notes of cocoa and coconut come to mind. The taste is full-bodied dark chocolate, caramel, mocha and vanilla. A really great bottling with a very good PLV.
Review by Alex Kunath
Heute zum Abschluss als Bottlekilldram erneut den RC#41 aus Belize. Auch nach mehrmaligen Tasting bleibt dieser Rum aus meiner Sicht ein ganz starker Vertreter seines Landes! Typische Belize Noten in der Nase und auf den Gaumen! Hier ist jeder Schluck sei Geld wert!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
The best Belize I've had in a glass so far. Heavy and deep, seems older. The finish is like driving a sports car beast onto an empty highway via the acceleration lane and then just stepping on the gas - you are simply gripped and never let go. In other words: an endless and almost unbelievably gripping finish.

Review by Mentalo
Belize hatte ich noch nicht oft im Glas und relativ wenig Erwartung gehabt. Aber das ist eine starke Abfüllung. Sehr schöne Röstnote, Gewürze, tolle Holznote, etwas nussig, dunkle Schokolade. Durchaus komplex und mit dezenten NY94 Anklängen. Einzig das er relativ viel Süße mitbringt, stört mich ein wenig.
