Cadenhead's Travellers SFBT 2005

One taster called the nose "unusual and pretty awesome" — white chocolate, macaroon, real butterscotch — and that's the draw here. This is young, cask-strength Belize column rum: coconut and vanilla up front, then fresh oak, roast and light citrus. At 63.4% it bites and most agree it needs air (or a drop of water); a couple say the heat sits surprisingly well. Classic Travellers, fresh and crisp.

The community says
  • White choc nose
  • Crisp oak
  • But: Hot, still young

28.11.2017 Meeting up at a friend's house each one bringing a bottle. Pretty surprised that there were 3 Cadenhead's in the pot. Notes Dark in colour. Nose Fresh, wood, roasted, light smoke, coconut, chocolate, polish, citrus. Palate Alcoholic, wood, roasted, faint smoke, citrus, polish, light caramel, coconut, light licorice, medium dry. Finish Medium to long, wood, roasted, tannins, dry, licorice. Extra note. Needs to rest for a very long time before it stops biting.

Ein wirklich netter Travellers. Hat viel Kokosnuss in der Nase, ebenso sind aber auch Vanille und Schokolade erkennbar. Am Gaumen dann auch eher leicht süßlich, viel Schokolade, aber auch etwas Karamell und Kokosnuss.

Noch etwas jugendlicher Belize Rum mit ungestümer Kraft im Abgang. Der Alkohol ist präsent, aber nicht störend, einzig noch nicht vollends im geschmacklichen Spektrum eingebunden. Neben frischem Eichenholz, leichten Röstnoten, Karamell und dunkler Schokolade zeigen sich auch frische zitrische und getrocknete Früchte. Klassisches Travellers-Profil, frisch, knackig - gefällt mir.

Sehr süffiger Vertreter aus dem Travellers Hause, Alkohol ist recht gut eingebettet. Man merkt die 63,4% nicht. Ein cooler Sipper den ich lange Zeit keine Beachtung geschenkt habe.

I like the nose a lot, white chocolate and sweet treats with macaroon and real butterscotch. Unusual and pretty awesome. The mouth is a little less memorable, flat with milk chocolate and some brash spice around the edge but it has different levels and with time uncover more and more elements that work and pop together. The finish brings expresso and spice with a young woody influence. Overall it’s an interesting and complex rum. Solid and keen to try more Travellers

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 250 Rums

Travellers is the rum that put Belize on the map. It began in 1953 as a bar in Belize City, grew into a family distillery under the Perdomo name, and today is synonymous with Belize rum. Its molasses spirit comes off a hurricane-proofed column still in three different marques, and a deep stock of aged casks has made it a quiet favourite of independent bottlers around the world.
