"This is a fantastic example of Travellers’ signature triple-column distillate as it approaches maturity, and it shows a singular character that can stand toe-to-toe with much more expensive (and older) casks from better-known distilleries." - Andrew Kitz, B-21 Spirits Buyer
The fabulous single-cask rum train from Holmes Cay keeps chugging along with this 2008 offering from Belize's famed Travellers' Distillery. Fully tropically aged and bottled at Travellers, this selection from Eric Kaye is spot-on for any fan of this savvy rum insider's favorite, at a price that stands out for its age statement.
The ex-bourbon cask marries perfectly with Travellers' powerhouse style, resulting in a monumental expression on both the nose and the palate. For all its power, the "huge aromatic profile" is marvelously detailed throughout, while the palate is "extremely concentrated and persistent" yet "almost regal in its depth and poise." This cask takes weight, density, and depth right up to the edge but without crossing the line, and the structural foundation is more than enough to tie everything together with incredible precision. It's yet another example of how spectacular tropically aged rum can be, and why it offers spirits fans more complexity and individual character for their dollar than just about anything else out there. |
