“Sophisticated rum with complex flavors and woody notes.”

The Bellevue 1998 from Guadeloupe's Damoiseau distillery offers a complex and intriguing profile, appealing to connoisseurs with its molasses base and remarkable aging of 24 years. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 51.5%, this limited release by Roots delivers an enticing aroma mixture of woody, spicy notes with faint dark, varnish, and banana hints. On the palate, rich woody, chocolate, and coffee flavors harmonize with complex leather undertones, finishing subtly spicy.

With a limited run of only 115 bottles, the Bellevue 1998 remains a coveted selection among enthusiasts seeking a refined, robust rum experience.

“Schön ausgeglichen, bringt von allem etwas mit. Macht mega Spass! Liegt für mich eine kleine Spur vor dem The Rum Cask Bellevue 1998. Dieser wirkt minimal komplexer, aber nicht viel, sodass dieser nur 1 Punkt mehr erhält.”

“A discovery! A nose of varnished wood, banana, carambola, cinnamon stick and spices. On the palate, the attack is frank, but the alcohol never takes over. The aromas develop harmoniously, with apple/banana compote, yellow fruit, pink grapefruit and a hint of vegetal. Very complex. The finish is long, with all the aromas present. A delicious, expressive and complex rum with perfectly integrated alcohol. It's noted as being made from cane juice, but I think it must be made from molasses too.”

“Wow, really good! Very similar in direct comparison to the TRC Bellevue. But this one is a bit more complex with more depth.”
