“I really liked this particular rum. I like the coconut and and roasted barrel mix. The warm spicy tingle in the palate was nice and the balance with chocolate and nuts was perfect.”

“An incredibly beautiful Spanish-style rum. The high ABV suits it extremely well on the nose, but in my opinion a few drops of water work very well on the palate to open it up and reveal more fruity aromas. I find the bourbon note amazing. I liked it very much! Great selection from the barrel.”

“Tasted together with the RA Belize 2006. I also diluted it a little, as it was quite spicy and alcoholic beforehand. Similar on the nose afterwards. Already intense, but still very soft and sweet - with beautiful ripe fruit behind the vanilla-woody impact. Too flat in the mouth for my taste: woody, roasty, spicy. The finish is woody, but pleasant and surprisingly long. The Flensburger is somewhat spicier and dirtier overall. The profile of the RA with the better balance and more facets.”

“Auch hier erstmal viel Kokos wie wohl in allen Belize zu erkennen. Dieser hier aber im Vergleich der intensivste und heutiger Sieger. Sehr intensive Aromen. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden. Prima! Jetzt müsste wohl ein etwas älterer zeigen ob Belize noch mehr kann. Für mich erstmal die Referenz.”

“Eine tolle Sache. Ich hatte noch nicht viele Belize Rum. Diesen finde ich sehr gut. Er ist herrlich intensiv und der Alkohol ist top integriert. Werde gerne mehr von der Destillerie versuchen. Dennoch merke ich, dass Rum über 65% mir zu heftig einfahren. Wenns bei 2cl Degustation bleibt funktionierts noch, aber meist bleibts ja nicht bei einem Tropfen Rum am Abend😌 Ich sehe dass es vermehrt Abfüllungen gibt, die höhers ABV abfüllen, was anhand der Geschmacksintensität durchaus verständlich ist. Für mich ist der Trade-Off aber zu hoch.”

“Another one from Belize, similar but also a bit different. As the other one, I gave it some water which makes the alcohol more approachable, and brings the fruit. To the nose similar, wood, Orange marmelade, some apricot My wife smelled Vanilla, but I am unable to recognize the smell (never have been, or I am just so used to it due to its presence everywhere) myself it seems. On the tongue, wood, spices, sweetness. The Alcohol is quite sharp, unfortunately which I do not like. The taste lingers very long... All in all very good, just the alcohol bitel is not to my taste.”

“Even before nosing and tasting I expect this to be very sweet as the legs move extremely slow to the point of simply sticking to the edge. On the nose you get toasted coconut, dried apricots, raisins and a slight touch of yellow banana. The sweetness is upfront, but it does present itself pleasantly as vanillated custard topped with torched sugar. Continued with dominant malt: roasted nuts, cappuccino and a side of milk chocolate. A hint of fresh mint at the very end. On the palate the sugars turn one-dimensional and the consistency turns oily and creamy (or even sticky) in the throat. The toasted coconut, dried fruits and malt persist, but we get some additional peppers and cinnamon. Alcohol is integrated wonderfully. It drinks well below its ABV. The finish is surprisingly short with some lingering sugars and malt.”

“Eine intensive Kokosnuss-Nase mit süßen Gewürzen breitet sich sofort aus! Am Gaumen verteilt er sich ölig cremig zunächst süßlich und später leicht holzig und nach gerösteten Mandeln schmeckend! Je länger er im Mund verweilt desto mehr gesellt sich eine sanfte Schärfe dazu, der Abgang ist so mittellang bitter werdend”
