Aroma visualization from community tastings
Mezan Travellers Belize 2008
Vanilla, grilled coconut and a sweet apricot-jam warmth sit over roasted oak here — one taster called it "a real candy." It's a 46% Travellers column-still rum from Belize, aged 10 years by Mezan. Pleasant and easy-drinking, but several members note some solvent on the nose and a flatter, slightly bitter middle. Enjoyable rather than deep.
The community says- Vanilla and coconut
- Fruity and warming
- But: Solvent on nose

Fruity, caramel-sweet Belize, easy but not deep Most find it a fruity, caramel-forward Belize that drinks nicely and gives a lot for the money, though a few call it simple and not something they'd rebuy.

Review by Daniel Kennste Doch
Nose: strong lost banana, wood, vanillaMouth: alcohol largely well integrated, burns slightly on the first sip, but thereafter largely gentle, woody, bitter, less fruity. Finish: maximum notice, warming, not special. Can be drunk away quite well, but is nothing complex/special. Do not buy again
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money with this release. A very fruity and sweet rum with some spices and nice roasted wood. The caramel in the profile could have been a bit more subtle, but some like it 😊 The empty glass is really nice and has even stronger flavours.
Review by w00tAN
In der Nase süße Frucht die von Vanille und Schokolade abgelöst wird. Aber auch Lösemittel und Alkohol sind deutlich erkennbar. Im Mund dann eher flach und bitter im Abgang dann kräftig würzig. Röstnoten bleiben noch einige Zeit auf der Zunge.
Review by Rum_diver
A very vibrant Belize rum, with the typical vanilla/wood/grilled coconut aromas revolving around a sweet warm abricot jam toast. A real candy!
