Brave New Spirits Travellers Da Gama Rum 2007 15yr 56,1%

"Another Belize and another new bottler. Obviously from the (Scottish) whisky world. Quite typical for Belize on the nose, yet fairly balanced and unobtrusively round. On the palate it seems slightly diluted, but has a nice creamy texture. For me, an easy sipper from Belize. Recommended for newcomers and newcomers to the beautiful wide world of rum, sometimes with a strong cask strength."

"The nose is typical Belize, but a little more on the woody/spicy side. Reminiscent of the 2008 SoR, but less intense. The palate has everything the nose promised, but overall it is a little too restrained/watery for me. Unfortunately, the finish is also quite short."

"Classic Belize profile. Very bourbon cask forwards with vanilla and sweetness on the palate. Quite some coconut on the nose and palate as well. More approachable than some other full proof Travellers which I attribute to some dilution. Not bad but for me also not really exciting."

"Pour résumer, Belize et moi ne serons plus amis dans cette vie, j'aurais dû en tirer la leçon. J'ai redonné une chance à Belize avec DomM, mais ça n'a rien donné."

"Also Travellers hat ja schon ein sehr markantes Profil. Was soll man da sagen, der bringt alles mit, was ich toll an Rum finde. Dieser hier ist ebenso gelungen und bringt die typisch kräftigen dunklen Noten mit. Einziges Manko ist der verhältnismäßig kurze Abgang."
