The Elixir Trails The Rum Trail Belize 2015 9Y 48% 70cl
The Elixir Trails – The Rum Trail Belize 2015 is a refined single-origin release selected by Elixir Distillers. Distilled in 2015 and bottled after 9 years of maturation, this expression highlights the distinctive character of Belizean rum through a carefully executed dual-maturation approach.
Crafted from locally fermented molasses made from Belizean sugar cane and distilled on column stills, this rum first matured under tropical conditions before undergoing further ageing in ex-Bourbon casks in Scotland. This transcontinental maturation enhances complexity, combining vibrant Caribbean fruit character with elegant oak influence and structural balance.
Bottled at 48% ABV, non-chill-filtered and without artificial colouring, this release preserves authenticity, clarity, and full flavour expression. It is a distinctive addition to the origin-focused Elixir Trails series.
