This is an amazing rum. Smooth, easy to drink on ice. Thus one you will enjoy

Definitely an A+ on the aesthetics with the shark highlighted in the glass and the shark tooth! Little to no aroma. Sweet on the front end followed by a very pronounced peppery taste. Warm oak finish with a little heat at the end but not too much.

No burn on nose peppery finish just doesn’t have a kick, light vanilla taste

Initially, I wasn’t in the least bit impressed by the nose as it seemed too alcohol-y, but that first impression was hasty. A quick sip revealed a depth of light, fruity flavour. It’s still a bit harsh, but it’s growing on me with every sip.

Really oaky, smokey, etc. Lots of awesome aged bourbon flavor, not so much on the rum at all.

My friend owns a second home in Belize and brought me a bottle of this as a gift. The packaging is very nice, with a shark tooth hanging on the neck of the bottle. The nose is rich and sweet, and the taste is sweet molasses, albeit a bit rough on the edges, like the finish. Maybe this one would benefit from a bit more time in oak? Nonetheless, a very nice dram!

This rum brought me back to exploring rums.

Not sold in Florida anymore, but I would love to always have two bottles on hand. One for sharing and one to offer up as a gift.

A clean and fresh flavour with subtle vanilla notes but not exactly memorable.

Belize isn’t well known for its rum, and the Tiburon offering is no exception. The price is on the high side for a rum that really doesn’t do well on its own as a sipper.

It's Friday night and it is time for the rum review. There be a shark swimming in me bottle lads and lasses, but that's the way these guys roll, and seeing that Tiburón even means shark in Spanish. The tribal emblem is even a shark, not to mention the from what i believe a plastic sharks tooth attached to a cord around the neck of the bottle. So no ill fate befell any innocent sharks in the production of the packaging. Tiburón is a brand of the Shark Bait Company in which is owned by Travelers Liquors Company, 80 proof and distilled n aged in Belize nearest the beaches of the southern Carribean. Fermented from a molasses base it is aged in Kentucky Oak Bourbon casks in the warm tropical breezes, for a minimum of 4 years is then blended and bottled for the next run ,their first being a whole 9000 bottles and with the American run being only a few thousand more. It is made in small batches and put stilled in copper.
The color is a golden wheat and
heather. It leaves quite a number of teardrop ending legs as the sheen slowly retreats back to the remaining spirits.
To the nose my main impression is butterscotch and vanilla, yet subtle cinnamon are present as well.
The entry is quite astringent while neat or even over ice is hard to make out any other flavors in the rum there is a very low level of cinnamon and vanilla bean. To be honest I'm thinking this is better suited for mixing than for sipping so on that here is what I'd recommend. Dirty Mojito, Tiburón and Cranberry or most clear fruit juices with a squeeze of lime. Even a Tiburón and cola or lemon/lime soda, even a ginger based soda would be good. From the mountain top of North Ga. Stay safe, stay alert, stay alive, and drink responsibly. Till the morrow down the hatch.
