Whisky Krüger Travellers Old Holzbunge No. 1 2005
Easygoing is the word that keeps coming up — and depending on your mood that's either the charm or the letdown. This 12-year Travellers pours unusually pale for an independent Belize, so the burnt-barrel edge steps back and lets banana, milk chocolate and creamy caramel through. At 46% it stays soft and oily. A few tasters call it a touch thin; most just find it dangerously drinkable.

Review by Oliver
Relaxed, delicious Belize rum.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very round, pleasing and dangerously palatable Belize. Milk chocolate, cream caramel, banana, pineapple and chocolate cookies. Very tasty and a great easy sipping Belize where I don't miss any extra %.
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
Tasted at German rum festival Pleasant rum. Not really distinctive.
