    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the expressive nose: herbal-spicy with dried fruits and elegant wood. The palate follows with woody spice, burnt sugar and touches of leather, showing balanced sweetness and a warm finish; some note it’s simpler than the nose with a hint of woody bitterness. Often enjoyed neat at tastings. A popular pick with 53 RumX reviews, this cask‑strength 1998 Bellevue comes with strong buyer confidence and just 252 bottles.

    Second tasting: I like the beautiful fruitiness and spiciness better than last time. However, the alcohol is too prominent for "very good". (+2) Tasted together with Colous of Rum Guadeloupe No. 3. The nose of both is almost identical. This one is a touch less powerful. On the palate, this one is a shade stronger. But it lacks corners and edges. It doesn't really convince me, I've had more interesting 1998 Guadeloupe in my glass. Both bottlings seem very similar to me.

    Guadeloupe from 1998, actually almost worth a blind purchase. Somehow this bottling is neither fish nor meat. Slightly woody with a subtle sweetness and dark and light fruits. The finish is short and the rum seems incomplete. Second tasting: - 4 points Thanks for the sample.

    No2’s nose is a bit more open and vibrant vs. No3. On the palate I prefer No2 with a bit more fruits while No3 presents itself more dark and woody.

    Got this sample for free from RumX. It’s a column distilled rum distilled in 1998 at the Bellevue estate in Bass-Terre that produces Rhum Damoiseau and therefore not to be confused with the Bellevue distillery in Marie Galante. It’s aged for 23 years, of which 6 years is made in the tropics and the rest continentally whereafter it’s bottled in 252 bottles at 54,3%. It’s not clear if the distillate is a blend of rum made from cane juice and molasses, but I believe so cause there’s lots of rum from this distillery that is. Anyway I’m pretty sure that its not an Agricole. Overall a rum that have great aromas, but which tastes don’t live up to the it.
