The judges included renowned spirit experts, spirit journalists, spirit buyers, and spirit conveyers who all fell in love with the handcrafted spirit developed by Basil DeStefano for Belize’s Traveller’s Liquors. Tiburon is the spanish translation for shark, a majestic creature that symbolizes the tropical spirit of the country -the same way the spirit does. The semi-dry rum delivers light hints of vanilla, complimented by hints of salty caramel, ripe banana, butterscotch and lastly toasted oak, a probable result of its double barreled maturity process whereby it’s first casked in a American Oak whiskey barrel and then moved on to a Kentucky Oak Bourbon barrel giving it it’s rich golden color.
Tiburon Rum is sold exclusively in the United States at $34.99USD per bottle.
