"Very lovely delicious rum from bellevue. Some really caroni like tastes of tar. The wood of the barrel is dominant, but the alcohol is integrated well (seems like 45%).

"Once rested this is a good rum especially when looking at the price tag. Fruity with some wood, wood spices and licorice. Put on top of that some caramel, tar and tobacco and a pinch of tea."
"Taste and finish much better than in the nose. The polish in the nose is such a mixture of ashtrays in a workshop next to the open polish is not at all inviting to drink. In addition, there are the cheese feet of the mechanic. If you dare, you will be surprised in the taste of orange and ginger served on the finest wood. This is joined by dark chocolate. Especially cool is the finish, the mixture of wood and citrus harmonizes extremely well. The lousy nose spoils a top score."
"A fine bottling of Guadeloupe rum. The nose is very seductive, with notes of fruit (apple, raisin, mango, papaya), herbs and flowers, spices (pepper, licorice, vanilla), dark notes (chocolate), bitterness (caramel) and wood. A touch of polish tones the nostrils. The profile is complete and well-balanced, with a beautiful harmony of aromas. A truly pleasant rum to smell. The attack on the palate is smooth, with burnt caramel, dark chocolate, roasted nuts and barrel woodiness. Spices (licorice, salt, chili, pepper, vanilla) accompany the earthy notes (tobacco) and tea notes that emerge on the mid- and finish. The profile is less fruity than the nose, but allows some fruit to express itself (orange, apple, dried dates and exotic fruit). The alcohol is well integrated into this round, sensual and complex profile. The finish loses vitality, fading rather quickly despite a few piercing aromas. Dark, woody, caramelized and spicy notes wrestle with fruit and herbaceous notes in a rather dry, thin landscape. Clearly the Achilles' heel of this rum, it nevertheless boasts undeniable qualities for its age, both olfactory and gustatory."
