Romdeluxe Travellers Wild Series Rum No. 41 2006

Wild Series Rum No. 41 is a RomDeluxe bottling of Travellers Belize rum, aged seventeen years and presented unsweetened at cask strength, 65.4%, from a single cask. RomDeluxe's Wild Series is known for high-strength, characterful single casks with its black-and-white animal labels, and this Belize sits among the richer, dessert-leaning entries rather than the wildest funk bombs.

Matured in ex-bourbon oak, the nose brings roasted notes, caramel, wood and vanilla, while the palate is vanilla, wood, caramel and sweetness. The finish carries wood, raisin, spice and a dry close. The character is warm and indulgent, the classic Belize coconut, vanilla, cocoa and raisin combination joined by clear oak spice from a long, active maturation. At over 65% it delivers real power and depth with a long finish, yet stays composed rather than aggressive. It suits experienced drinkers who enjoy bold, chocolate-and-coconut Belize rum with extra age and cask-strength punch.
