Travellers Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 38 Belize Rum 2006
Sip this one slowly and give it air — several tasters say it needs 30-45 minutes in the glass to open up. Then you get toasted coconut, dark chocolate, caramel and burnt sugar, with a glue/bourbon note from the cask. At 62.9% the heat is real; most love it, though a few find the alcohol not fully tucked in. A drop of water helps.
The community says- Coconut and chocolate
- Long warm finish
- Hot alcohol

How does Travellers Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 38 Belize Rum 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 78 community reviews.
Coconut-and-chocolate Belize, hot but rewarding Well-liked Belize with big coconut-chocolate-caramel flavor and a Bounty-bar vibe. The recurring catch: the high ABV isn't always cleanly integrated, and it turns a touch bitter for some.

Review by Nivius
Dieser Travellers ist tatsächlich der beste, den ich bis jetzt im Glas hatte ! Und tatsächlich auch eine der ältesten Belizeabfüllungen, die ich in der Datenbank gefunden habe und zu dem noch für 10 Jahre tropisch gelagert. In der Nase hat er eine angenehme Klebstoffnote, die mich an Bourbon erinnert, zusammen mit Holz, hellen Früchten und etwas Kokos - wenn man das Rum-Depot betritt, riecht es so ähnlich 😇 Am Gaumen habe ich richtig intensiv Vollmilchschokolade und Kokos - Bounty trifft es hier richtig gut ! Der Abgang ist sanft und angenehm, und bleibt auch, geschmacklich richtung Vollmilchschokolade, wie deren Schmelz noch eine Zeit lang auf der Zunge liegen, zudem nehme ich noch etwas Tabak wahr. Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden, es macht wirklich spaß, sich mit diesem Rum zu beschäftigen.
Review by Christoph
In addition to dark chocolate, which I often have in my mouth with Belize rum, there is also sweet orange and a little coconut. The alcohol is so perfectly integrated that you can concentrate fully on the aromas. Young wood remains in the background in the taste and harmonizes well.
Review by Timo Groeger
Rumclub Belize No. 38. Wow, ein echt klasse Teil. Hat eine echt tolle Nase bestehend aus Schokolade (dunkel) und Karamell. Außerdem leicht holzig. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls Schokolade und gebrannten Zucker. Lecker.
Review by Agricoler
Tag 9 RumX Adventskalender Hier muss man erstmal dazu sagen. Dieser Rum muss stehen und zwar meiner smeinung nach 45 min. Dann ist dieser Rum ein völlig anderer. Unfassbare Kokosnuss und geile Karamell/Nuss Mischung mit ein bisschen Cappuccino. Völlig unterschätzt und ich muss tatsächlich sagen ich hatte in vor einer Zeit schonmal im Glas da hat er mich bei weniger Standzeit nicht überzeugt. Für mich Spitze!!!!!!!
Review by Oliver
With Belize my love started and I feel directly back. Coconut, chocolate, caramel, vanilla and a great spice with power. Makes really fun!
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Here is the next rum from the RumX Advent calendar. You can taste some coconut on the nose. In the taste, however, chocolate dominates but coconut is also recognizable. Very good rum
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4229 Wow, this is a really nice rum. I'd say that the price to quality is very good. Fruity and fresh with nice roasted wood. The palate is warm/spicy with an oily feel and natural sweetness. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some chocolate and cherries. Just went back to the glass and there is a nice minty note now as well.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, the first impression we get is a toasted coconut, roasted wood, out of it vanilla, chocolate, caramel and roasted nuts, accompanied with some glue. When aired a bit, menthol is obvious, some spice, orange, molasses is interwoven with confectionery like gingerbread. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is pleasant with toasted and roasted wood, coconut, dry, the sugar is burnt, spicy and fruity with yellow fruits, citrus, especially peaches, as the bourbon ageing is strongly felt, some dried fruits. The Spanish style is obvious, as the ron is a bit sweeter. There are caramel, chocolate, roasted nuts, vanilla, delicious nougat, after some rest, there is a bit of a bitter cocoa and inevitable Belizean menthol. It is very complex, with many faces, as one of them shows also confectionery with gingerbread and banana bread, the other vegetal notes as tea... I like it.... Very tasty. 8,6:The finish is long and woody, dry. All notes from the palate continue, with some mineral and floral addition... Coool🤘...
Review by Andi
In der Nase machen sich die 62 ABV bemerkbar und verdecken die Kokos und süßlichen Noten. Am Gaumen dann total schöne Schokoladen und Kokos Noten mit dezentem Holz und leichter süße. Lässt sich super sippen! Echt eine gelungene Abfüllung!
Review by primus
RumX Adventskalender Türchen 9. Sehr sehr holzig-karamellige Nase mit Cola und etwas Würze. Im Geschmack eine echte Schokobombe, veil Karamell, Holz, Mokka, Malz. Dabei Trocken. Abgang bleibt lang. Echt schön.
Review by Stuesch
Super rum! On the nose first coconut and old wood. At the same time mega intense without unpleasant alcohol note. On the palate then a little less going on. Still fruity and also the coconut note is there again. The finish is long. The alcohol is in my opinion super integrated, which is not always the case with barrel strengths from Belize. Thanks for the sample @ Spirit of Rum
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Sehr angenehmer Zeitgenosse. Unkompliziert, aber schön intensiv.
Review by Jakob
Very drinkable Belize, powerful with very balanced sweetness that never becomes too flat. Fun to drink, works despite (or perhaps because of, as some would argue) the high alcohol content still very well as a pleasure rum. Successful selection!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Only just beaten into second place in the blind tasting (4 rums from Belize). Very nicely round and deep. However, I can't taste any coconut.
Review by Johannes
Der macht Spaß! Alkohol könnte vielleicht etwas besser eingebunden sein, aber schöne typische Kokos -Aromen vermischen sich mit Schokolade und Holz.
Review by w00tAN
Very nice on the nose, vanilla, chocolate and some bounty. The alcohol is also present and brings some glue into play. In the mouth it's super chocolate, thick like honey, until the spice and wood take over. The alcohol could be better integrated. The finish is warm and lingers for a while. Wood and chocolate also prevail here. Very drinkable!
Review by cigares
Avant RumX calendar, day 9. A nose that's both sweet (pastry, vanilla) and lively (alcohol), with fruit, acetone and varnished wood. The palate confirms the presence of alcohol, a pastry side with lots of vanilla that coats the mouth well. But then the alcohol rises and masks the aromas. The finish is rather short because of this resurgence of alcohol. And right at the end, the vanilla and pastry notes come through. A rum with too much alcohol and not really balanced for my taste, but rather tasty.
Review by HenryL
In der Nase dunkle Schokolade und geröstete Kokosnuss. Im Mund eine schöne Mischung aus der Kokosnuss und gebranntem Zucker. Der Zucker entwickelt sich zum Abgang hin zu leckerem Crème Brûlée. Am Gaumen bringt der Rum dazu noch etwas funky-salziges mit sich was mir schwer fällt zu greifen.
Review by Banana Joe
Adventskalender #9. Mein erster Eindruck führt mich nach Mittelamerikas, Tendenz Panama. Sehr süss, viel Vanille und Karamell, etwas Holz. Am Gaumen brennt er zunächst mal, hoher ABV wahrscheinlich >55%. Alles in allem gefällt er mir ganz gut und erinnert mich an meine Anfänge meiner Rum-Reise. Finde das Profil ganz schön, ist aber nichts mehr für die den Tag für mich.
Review by Serge
Typischer Belize mit schöner Intensität durch den angemessenen Alkoholgehalt. Kokos, Kakao/Schokolade, Holz, Karamell.
