The S.B.S 2006 Belize 11yo is a rum of great power and expressiveness, with a tannic and grilled oak that is immediately noticeable on the palate. The initial brown and gourmand aromas are led by a nutty note, followed by a powerful tobacco and a rich, savory coconut. The high alcohol content of 64.7% ABV is well integrated and provides a spicy yet sweet base that unfolds into an intense and sophisticated palate of roasted, vanilla, and mocha flavors. The long-lasting finish is warm and satisfying.
This rum was distilled in 2006 at the prestigious Travellers distillery in Belize and aged for 11 years before being bottled in Denmark in March 2018. It is a "brut de fut" rum, meaning it was not chill-filtered or reduced.
As the rum opens up, the palate becomes more complex and full-bodied, with a profusion of wood, sweet spices, and caramelized nuts. The subtle note of vanilla is balanced by woody undertones and a hint of peppery spiciness. The aroma also evolves, with the initial alcohol giving way to a smoky character and intriguing nutmeg and tobacco notes.
This limited edition rum, with only 269 bottles produced, is a true treasure for rum connoisseurs. It is an intoxicating journey of flavors, expertly blending the essence of Belize's tropical paradise with the distinguished charm of a superior, carefully aged rum.
With an ABV of 64.7%, this rum is indeed strong. However, it is well-integrated and drinkable without water. Adding water can bring out different flavors but may diminish the nose.
This rum can be enjoyed neat, but adding a few drops of water can enhance its complexity and reveal additional flavors of wood and dried fruits.
Given its high alcohol content and complex profile, the S.B.S 2006 Belize 11yo is best reserved for special occasions or for those who appreciate strong and sophisticated rums.
Only 269 bottles were produced, making it a limited edition and quite rare.
This rum is undoubtedly powerful, with a high ABV that delivers a strong, spicy, and warm experience. The nose starts sweet with caramel and vanilla but quickly reveals its strength. On the palate, it is less sweet and more spicy, characteristic of the Travellers distillery's style. The cask strength enhances the alcoholic and spicy impression, making it a unique and robust rum. Drinkable without water, it can also be enjoyed with a splash of water to reveal different flavors. Some reviewers noted a preference for its smokiness, while others mentioned a slight imbalance due to the prominence of wood and alcohol. Overall, it is highly regarded for its incredible balance and integration of alcohol, making it a sublime choice for rum enthusiasts and collectors.
