In 1953, an ambitious young man from Belize, Omario Perdomo, opened a Rum shop at the entrance of Belize City, called Travellers. It was a success and in keeping with the times, Omario started blending his own rums, branded them and over time expanded the product lines to over 21 products, creatively tapping into local fruits from Belize. In 1989, now a company, Travellers Liquors Ltd. acquired and retrofitted the existing Distillery in the capital, Belmopan.
The use of innovative techniques assure the production of the finest rums available today. Our aging facilities in both Belmopan and Belize City produce superb rums that are now exported to Europe for many private labels. One-Barrel Refined Old Rum, one of our gold rums, is well-known outside of Belize and has been exported to the United States for over 15 years.
Travellers Liquors now produces over 25 products ranging from gold, white and flavored rums aged up to 10 years, vodka, gin, wines and liqueurs.
