How does this rum taste?
Loved for its vibrant citrus-zest profile, this 24-year Bellevue bursts with kumquat, lemon and orange over herbal anise, black tea and dry oak. Unusual for a 1998 Bellevue yet well integrated at 59.4%, it opens with time in the glass. Fresh, complex and pleasantly dry; some find the finish shorter. Popular on RumX with 89 reviews, and limited to just 302 bottles.

One of the top 5 rums i tried on the german rum festival. Very delicious rum with all the lovely wooden, dried fruits, anise armomas paired with a nice lemon peal note. It has a clear wood note without being astringend in mouth/tongue. The alcohol is integrated very well. For me the best of all RA rums showed on the festival.
Already in the nose waits a very own green note, reminiscent of tart herbs and unripe vegetables. On the palate more balanced, tea, wood, fennel, spices - thereby overall extremely dry and thus rather on the tart side. Even if the Bellevue DNA remains recognizable, it is a rather unusual representative of the 98 batch with a clear impact on the herbaceous-green side.
I'm beginning to doubt myself: most of the rums I've tasted recently have been rated by me with well over 80 points. Did they really have such a high level of quality objectively? With this rum, however, I'm pretty sure and have no doubts: Yes, this is something fine! A lovely Caribbean dream. Very interesting notes already in the nose, wonderful exotic-fruity impression. I think I'll have to get another bottle.Rating: sweet.Update 2022-12-09:Yesssss, the rum just puts a smile on my face. 😊 Anise and kumquat notes dominate very nicely today. Delicious!
This rum is different in taste than expected. In the smell test, I could not have assigned him a clear origin. On the nose, it presents itself pleasantly fresh with strong notes of (citrus) fruit and cinnamon. The palate is dominated by berries and grapefruit, wood, leather and tobacco, but without this rum being extremely astringent. In the background, I still detect anise and tea. I rarely experience this combination. The alcohol is top integrated. The flavors remain very long and intense in the mouth. An unusual experience and thus definitely the most interesting rum of the new RA bottlings. Price: 92 euros per 0.5 liters.
