CoR Bellevue Guadeloupe No. 2 1998 23yr 54,3%
The "Guadeloupe No. 2" rum, distilled in 1998 at the Bellevue distillery, offers a notable experience for enthusiasts seeking aged, cask-strength selections. Users admire its herbal and dried fruit aromas, paired with woody and spicy flavors. Distinctive for its 23 years of aging, this limited release of 252 bottles is highly regarded for its complexity and elegance. However, some tasters noted that its palate doesn't fully echo the promise of its rich nose. With a 54.3% ABV, its intensity and warmth are inherent but may not appeal to those preferring smoother, more well-integrated rums. As part of The Colours of Rum collection, it shines in its niche as a distinguished Guadeloupe rum.

“Second tasting: I like the beautiful fruitiness and spiciness better than last time. However, the alcohol is too prominent for "very good". (+2) Tasted together with Colous of Rum Guadeloupe No. 3. The nose of both is almost identical. This one is a touch less powerful. On the palate, this one is a shade stronger. But it lacks corners and edges. It doesn't really convince me, I've had more interesting 1998 Guadeloupe in my glass. Both bottlings seem very similar to me.”

“Guadeloupe from 1998, actually almost worth a blind purchase. Somehow this bottling is neither fish nor meat. Slightly woody with a subtle sweetness and dark and light fruits. The finish is short and the rum seems incomplete. Second tasting: - 4 points Thanks for the sample.”

“No2’s nose is a bit more open and vibrant vs. No3. On the palate I prefer No2 with a bit more fruits while No3 presents itself more dark and woody.”
