The Rum Mercenary & Kintra Travellers Sample X The Travellers Distillery 2007
Sipped neat, this cask-strength Belize pours out coconut, milk chocolate and roasted almonds with vanilla and a woody, raisiny backbone. Several tasters call it dense and roasty with a long oaky finish. The recurring gripe: at 61.8% the alcohol isn't fully tucked in, so a few drops of water help. A classic Travellers profile, done well.
The community says- Coconut and chocolate
- Long woody finish
- But: Hot alcohol

How does The Rum Mercenary & Kintra Travellers Sample X The Travellers Distillery 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 44 community reviews.
Roasty, woody Belize at cask strength Most tasters enjoy the roasty coconut-chocolate-oak character and long finish. The common catch is hot, not-quite-integrated alcohol at cask strength; a couple found it dense but not very complex.

Review by Jonathan Massard
Premier nez sur le solvant (résultant des vapeurs d'alcool). Puis s'enchaîne des senteurs de coco fraîchement râpée de sa noix, de la vanille, des oléagineux grillés (noix, cajou) et toujours un alcool vif, presque citronné sur le Paic citron. En le laissant tourné dans le verre, je sent une tranche d'ananas fraîchement flambée dans son sucre. Peut-être quelques fruits à chair blanche sur la mirabelle ou la prune blanche. Presque floral finalement. En y revenant après la bouche, je trouve même une amertume sur le cacao 100%. C'est un nez complet, qui se veut vif, frais & fruité et qui ne fait jamais défaut. J'aime. 88/100 Une bouche vive, très vive, avec un alcool bien moins intégré qu'au nez, dommage. Après, 61.8%, il faut les dompter. Des épices, beaucoup d'épices (piment, poivre rouge) des fruits sur l'amertume, puis une astringence pas très agréable. De la citronnelle passe par là, ainsi qu'une pointe de gingembre. La bouche reste trop alcooleuse à mon goût (petite réduction à tester). 79/100 Finale qui tapisse bien les parois. Des fruits frais et acidulés (ananas vert, citron jaune, kumkat) sur la confiserie têtes brûlées. Beaucoup d'épices. Un léger boisé très agréable fait son apparition, même s'il arrive un peu en retard. Le verre vide fait découvrir une odeur caractéristique de tressage comme ceux d'un vieux chapeau de paille qui aurait pris la poussière dans un coin d'une armoire en bois. 83/100
Review by Jacques etdom
Un nez typique Belize, solvants, vanille, caramel et coco. En bouche, les memes marqueurs avec un côté boisé et un cacao amer. L alcool pourrait etre mieux intégré, d ailleurs son seul point faible. Longueur correcte. Un bon Belize, mais pas le meilleur, aurait peut etre mérité3 a 4 ans de fut supplementaires. Rapport qualité prix bon. En conclusion, un bon représentant classique du Belize.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Lovely rum and if you can get your hands on it give it a try. The nosw is fruity with wood, vanilla and nuts. There is a hint of iodine once rested. The palate is woody with fruits, vanilla, nuts and chocolate with a hint of tobacco. The finish is medium to long with wood, vanilla and raisin. Leave the empty glass for a few hours and give it another whif :-)
Review by Basti
Die Nase ist sehr verschlossen und auch am Gaumen passiert nicht so viel. Insgesamt sehr nah am Foursquare Profil, jedoch für mein Empfinden in abgespeckter Form. Alkohol nicht perfekt eingebunden. Edit: Bleibt für mich bei der Bewertung. Hatte in letzter Zeit deutlich bessere Travellers im Glas.
Review by Tim
Typischer Travellers, gleichzeitig auch ein sehr guter Travellers. Vor allem überzeugt mich der röstige Geschmack, gepaart mit einer dezenten Süße sowie viel Holz. Die Holznote ist im Abgang sogar noch präsenter, welche sehr gut zu der leckeren Kaffee- und Schokonoten passen.
Review by Jan Lu
Auf den ersten Eindruck hätte niemals auf einen Travellers aus Belize getippt. Weniger süß und fruchtig als meine bisherigen Verkostungen. Trotzdem sehr interessant und intensiv. Röstige Aromen und leicht hölzerner langer Abgang.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Der Rum bietet insgesamt viel holzige Würze, wobei nussige und schokoladige Aromen auffallen, etwas Kokos. Am Gaumen spielt sich recht viel ab und im Abgang bleiben etwas Bitterkeit und ein Hauch Menthol zurück. Gefällt mir!
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
I picked up this rum inspired by the positive reviews, but was disappointed given the price (96 euros, but I would sell it no more than 40). A good Spanish rum, but just not in my league. Sweet at high proof, no surprises from the aromas other than some coconut notes and a distant back taste of barrel. The alcohol is not well integrated.
Review by Tom Buteneers
I received the bottle as a birthday gift and had a sample of it, which I promptly opened. Wow!!! The smell of coconut rocks. Bourbon influences all the way and alcohol integrated super well. I am in love 😍
Review by Timo Groeger
The next really delicious top rum. Here too, the nose and palate have an absolutely light chocolate and vanilla aroma and flavor. The alcohol is again barely noticeable. An absolutely recommendable rum.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Quite bity. Roasted almonds, coconut, some raisins, a bit earthy on the nose. Not overly complex but dense. Thanks RumTata for sharing a sample.
Review by Johannes
I like it amazingly well! Lots of milk chocolate, caramel, vanilla, some tobacco and barrel notes. Alcohol amazingly well delivered!
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Thick flavourful stuff. Reminds me of the Cadenhead Travellers. I definitely got a soft spot for this sort of rums.
Review by John Coffey
Pas le meilleur belize goûté.. La noix de coco ressort de façon intéressante ainsi que le bois.
