The Compagnie des Indes 2005 Belize 11yo is an extraordinary rum bottled at cask strength, with an impressive alcohol content of 66.2%. This limited-edition rum, with only 293 bottles produced, was distilled by Travelers Liquore, a renowned distillery located in Belize City, known for producing half of the country's sugarcane exports. Aged on-site for 11 years, this rum was then carefully transported to La Compagnie des Indes, where it was bottled without any reduction, preserving its full-bodied character.
The nose of this exquisite rum is delicate, featuring initial notes of creamy vanilla and coconut, reminiscent of coconut milk. With some aeration, the aroma evolves to reveal rich hints of cocoa, grilled coconut, roasted nuts, and well-roasted coffee. These layers of fragrance offer an inviting prelude to the tasting experience.
On the palate, the rum delivers an intense and complex profile. The experience begins with a concentrated "wood juice," which is soon followed by warm, fruity notes that harmonize the initial perception of dry wood. This synthesis of flavors includes dark chocolate, caramel, nuts, and spices, with subtle undertones of fruit and cream, creating a well-rounded and memorable taste.
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression with notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, honey, coconut, and a touch of caramel. This rum's intricate balance of sweet, spicy, and nutty flavors makes it a true masterpiece, highly appreciated by rum enthusiasts and collectors alike.
