Whisky Krüger Travellers Old Holzbunge No. 1 2005
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.

Soft, banana-and-chocolate Belize easy sipper Members land on "pleasant but not distinctive" — a round, sweet-natured Belize that goes down easy. Nobody misses the extra proof; nobody calls it a stunner either.

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 %.

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.
