Rum Shark Travellers Single Vintage 2014
Here's the surprise: at 70.3% this Belize Travellers barely feels its strength on the nose — white chocolate, apricot and caramel, more roasted wood and coffee once it opens. Give it 20 minutes in the glass or the alcohol flattens everything. A few tasters found it drying and astringent, wishing the seven years had run longer. Rewards patience over gulping.
The community says- Chocolate and caramel
- Lovely nose
- But: Astringent

The look inside the bottle
How does Rum Shark Travellers Single Vintage 2014 taste?
Aggregated from 36 community reviews.
Chocolatey cask-strength Belize that needs air A pleasant, chocolate-and-caramel Belize that needs time to breathe. Most like the nose more than the palate — some find it astringent and a touch young for a 70% cask strength.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
14.05.2022 Had a nice meet up with some nice rums, good friends and also new rum enthusiasts. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light roasted wood, light chocolate, light citrus, spice, light herbs, anise, intense. Palate Intense, light wood, spicy, warm, light chocolate, spice, faint herbs, light anise, light citrus, raisin. Finish Long and warm, wood, light roasted, prunes, light chocolate, herbs. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will kill most of the flavours.
Review by Dr.Django
Belize Rum mit über 70% abv. sind sehr rar gesät, hier habe ich gleich zwei auf einen Streich in den Gläsern. Der Sharks ist ein typischer spanischer Rum, der Alkohol ist für 70% ganz gut eingebunden, dennoch sticht er unangenehm und macht den Rum unzugänglich. Spirit Gallery ist eine völlig andere Hausnummer. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut integriert, der Rum wesentlich komplexer. Vllt. der beste Belize, den ich bislang hatte. Kann hier mit den guten Wertungen mitgehen.
Review by Werni
Beim Vergleich der drei Haie aus Belize, belegt dieser 7 jährige den 3.Platz. Die Nase ist noch recht verhalten was die Aromen angeht, Holz und Gewürze hauptsächlich. Das Fass hat in der kurzen Zeit viel Holz und Röstarmen abgegeben, dazu eine leicht Süße von Karamell. Er ist sehr adstringent im Mund. Er hätte noch ein paar Jahre gebraucht.
Review by Filip Šikula
V první řadě je potřeba říct, že potřebuje alespoň 20 minut ve sklenice. Ve vůni sladký profil belize, karamel, čokoláda. V chuti je zachován sladký profil, čokoláda, káva. Vyšší abv rozvibruje jazyk, krátký a hřejivý závěr. Perfetní parťák do daiquiri.
Review by Rado Vito
The smell is very nice. Very. White chocolate and apricot. Taste is mild, nice start and body, but no aftertaste.
Review by Richard Krupa
Vune nic moc, chut uz strasne silna
