    Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar, day 13. A very sweet nose of cooked banana and raisins, cedar wood, spices and brown sugar. The attack on the palate is soft, slightly acqueous (ABV a little low?) then the aromas develop around sweetness (banana, caramel). The cedar wood is present but balanced. The finish is long, smooth and balanced, with all the aromas calming down in unison. A very fine rum!

    We had a wonderful tasting at my birthday party on Friday. Very relaxed and cosy. Very complex and kind of heavy rum, what's not to like :-) Not as fruity as I'd expected but nice and woody with smoke and chocolate. After a few hours the nose is wonderful in the glass. Dry with a long finish.

    Verkostet gemeinsam mit dem TWJ und dem Milano Bellevue 98. An der Nase ist er dem Milano verdammt ähnlich, evtl. etwas mehr Röstaromen und keine Minze. Am Gaumen dann aber gleich auf mit einer leicht dreckigen Note, Lakritz, Leder, getr. Früchten, Karamell und Gewürzen und einer angenehmen Süße. Auch dieser Bellevue gefällt mir sehr gut.

    Leider ist diese Abfüllung nicht das Highlight bei meinem persönlichen 98er Bellevue Ranking. Aus dem Gedächtnis heraus, haben mich hier andere mehr abgeholt. Kann man trinken, aber jetzt keiner der in meiner Erinnerung bleibt.
