Whiskybroker presents a remarkable 2005 Travellers Belize 11-year-old rum, bottled in 2017. This limited edition release comprises just 247 bottles, each containing 700ml of exquisite rum at a potent 64.4% ABV. Crafted by the renowned Travellers Distillery in Belize, this rum showcases the distillery's expertise in producing high-quality, Spanish-style rums.
On the nose, this rum reveals an inviting bouquet of sandalwood, olive oil, muscovado sugar, caramel, and a hint of fruitiness. The palate introduces a complex array of flavors, with spicy pine cone, resin, vanilla, and sweet candy notes, culminating in a dry finish accentuated by pine cone and subtle walnut undertones from the cask.
When compared to other vintages, the 2006 batch exhibits a fruitier and more open profile, featuring flavors of applesauce, cloves, dark berries, and brown sugar. The S.B.S 2006 release is noted for its mild and well-integrated characteristics, with prominent notes of sandalwood, black currants, pine cones, and spices, resulting in a balanced and superior product. The 2007 bottlings from Dutch producers offer a complex mix of fruit intensity, sweetness, and various spice elements, with potential for further aging or finishing to enhance their complexity.
Overall, the 2005 Whiskybroker Travellers Belize rum serves as a benchmark for evaluating other vintages, with the 2006 batch standing out as a particularly exceptional choice. While the 2007 releases show promise, they may benefit from additional maturation or finishing treatments. Nevertheless, the rums from Travellers Distillery continue to uphold the brand's strong reputation for producing quality Spanish-style rums with a Bourbon-like profile.
