Bellevue Rum Artesanal Guadeloupe Rum 1998 21yr 53,8%

RX488 Very good Column Still Rum Single Cask 255 bottles <100€
“Intriguing mix of woody and fruity notes.”

The Rum Artesanal Guadeloupe was distilled at the Bellevue distillery and aged for 21 years, offering a compelling blend of fruity, smoky, and herbal notes. With an ABV of 53.8%, this limited release of 255 bottles delivers a complex, woody, and dry profile. RumX users appreciate its vibrant notes of prunes, licorice, and chocolate, alongside its sturdy backbone of earthy oak and roasted elements. However, it's noted for its dryness and restrained sweetness compared to typical 1998 Guadeloupe releases, appealing to those seeking a mature, unconventional taste. This rum manages to impress with its intricate layering, attracting both melasse and agricole fans who value its captivating blend.

“Ein schöner Vertreter der 98er Bellevue. Sehr erwachsener Rum, der seine Liebhaber sicher bei den Demerara-Freunden haben wird. Alkohol leider nicht ganz perfekt eingebunden, leicht kratzig hintenraus. Ist nicht super tiefgründig, eher geradlinig im Geschmack. Die erdige Eichenholz/Melassenote zieht sich von vorne bis hinten durch. Kommt auch noch aus einer Zeit mit guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnissen in der Industrie (vor allem bei RA).”

“Really a great rum! Nose: Fruity, Prunes, licorice, smoky, minty & black tea with a hint of yellow habaneros (without the spiciness) Palate: Cappuccino, licorice, dark chocolate, black tea, minty Finish: Long and dry with notes of chocolate, anise, black tea, tobacco and a lot of caramel, Unfortunately, the 4th and last place of my Bellevue tasting.”

“Auch ein echt guter Rum. In der Nase überwiegend Gewürze und sehr rauchig. Am Gaumen gesellen sich dann noch Holz und Röstigkeit zu den Gewürzen. Für mich ist er auch leicht Schokoladig. Insgesamt mehr als solide.”

Aroma

Smoky Spice

Roasted Woody Spicy Chocolate
