  Belize Travellers 2006/2022 Valinch & Mallet 16 years old Traditional Rum 70 cl 56.3%

  Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-124

  In Belize City the Perdomo family has been distilling rum since a small bar called Travellers grew into a distillery, and a single cask from there has now been captured by Italian bottler Valinch & Mallet.

  Expert Description

  Belize Travellers 2006/2022 Valinch & Mallet 16 Year Traditional is a Belize Rum from a single cask, aged for 16 years and bottled at 56.3%.

  The rum comes from Travellers Liquors, whose history begins in 1953 when Jaime Omario Perdomo opened a bar of the same name in Belize City. The family later registered the distillery officially in 1983 and upgraded the facility in 1992, moving away from acid-based fast fermentation in favour of natural molasses fermentation followed by double distillation on a triple column setup. This gives Travellers a cleaner, softer style than many other Caribbean molasses rums. The cask was selected by Valinch & Mallet, the Italian independent bottler run by Davide Romano and Fabio Ermoli, and bottled as cask number 3 as part of their Traditional range. The rum was distilled in 2006 and rested for 16 years before being bottled in 2022.

  The result is a soft, sweet-toned rum, where coconut and vanilla meet caramel and dark chocolate, carried by its relatively restrained cask strength of 56.3%.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Coconut, vanilla and a touch of caramel.

  Palate

  Toffee, milk chocolate and mild spice with a creamy body.

  Finish

  Soft and lightly sweet with a final hint of dark chocolate.

  Expert Description

  Plantation Gran Añejo Guatemala Belize is a Central American Rum from Guatemala and Belize, bottled at 42%.

  Investment Potential

  High. With only 269 bottles from a single cask, 17 years of maturation and a well-regarded independent bottler, this is one of the rarer single cask releases from RomDeLuxe.

  Did You Know?

  The cask for this rum literally travelled halfway around the world during its maturation: 5 years under Belize's tropical sun, then 12 years in the cooler Danish climate, giving the rum an unusual maturation journey through two vastly different climates.
