1 Barrel - a creamy mellow new import from Belize. Caramel and spice with lovely vanilla, toasted oak and beautiful finish. Really super and check out the price!

Judged the “Best Dark Rum “ at the International Cane Spirits Festival, One Barrel Rum from Belize is a most wonderful spirit in a most undistinguished looking package. Its bouquet will make a believer out of you with its wafting aromas of ripe red fruit, spice, vanilla and raisins. There’s a savory quality to it that is astounding. The palate is broad, lush and loaded with fruit-laced flavors. The rum has great mouth feel and a remarkably long, flavorful finish. A bona fide sleeper.

Cheers August 2007

The weak tea color of Belize Travellers One Barrel Refined Old Rum is deceptive-it pops with fresh cut grass, crëme brulee, toasted pecans and maple syrup. There's a slightly funky, but not unplesant, note in here as well. Soft mouthfeel delivers a sort of carmel and cream mixture with a bit of tannic bite. This find has a nutty finish and is a distinctive lighter rum. Definitely worth finding. (Hap L.L.C.)

1 Barrel, Belize, 40.0% abv, $15 Best Buy
Issue Date: 2/1/2008
Points: 85-89

The bouquet is basic but pleasing, with sweet molasses scents and some delightful cocoa and tobacco notes. The palate entry is surprisingly bittersweet and nearly dry; the flavor turns tobacco-like, almost smoky, yet appealingly sweet at midpalate. Finishes with simple, no-frills charm.
