Easygoing is the word that keeps coming up — and depending on your mood that's either the charm or the letdown. This 12-year Travellers pours unusually pale for an independent Belize, so the burnt-barrel edge steps back and lets banana, milk chocolate and creamy caramel through. At 46% it stays soft and oily. A few tasters call it a touch thin; most just find it dangerously drinkable.

Very round, pleasing and dangerously palatable Belize. Milk chocolate, cream caramel, banana, pineapple and chocolate cookies. Very tasty and a great easy sipping Belize where I don't miss any extra %.

Empty glass Light marzipan, citrus, chocolate, light caramel, light nutts. Also a pretty good rum and thanks goes to RhumAuction for the sample. German Rum Fest 2025 sample.
Review by Boletus
Due to its dilution, this is a decidedly pleasant and easy-drinking rum, which presents itself unusually light for an independently bottled Travellers. As a result, the somewhat burnt barrel aromas of other bottlings are missing, allowing even more dried fruits to come through, like banana chips, dried pineapple, and raisins.
Review by Oliver
Relaxed, delicious Belize rum.
Review by zabo
Not bad in and of itself. A good easy sipper for in between, but unfortunately nothing more. I think it's a good beginner rum to explore the world of Belize. Although I'm not really a fan of Belize, I liked this somewhat too thin/mild version.
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
Tasted at German rum festival Pleasant rum. Not really distinctive.
