With an ABV of 54.4%, its taste features complex layers of licorice, pineapple, and cardamom. Reviewers highlight its balanced and oily texture with a very long finish.

    Simply overwhelming. THIS IS RUM! A very clear recommendation. If only it weren't for the price ...

    Incredible. Almost Caroni like Bellevue.

    16.06.2022 A nice day running through samples at home. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, plum, fruity, spice, light tobacco, light ginger, cherry. Palate Oily, balanced, medium intense, light roasted wood, berries, light licorice, faint coconut, prunes. Finish Very long and warm, light wood, berries, spice, light licorice, oily, faint tar. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will take over. The change in the profile while resting is amazing to say the least.

    A great Bellevue - the subtle licorice between all the sugar, roasted flavors and tropical fruits, make for a very round rum.
