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.

A good one, mildly funky but rich. I think the nose is top notch, but on the palate it stays behind some other 1998s we’ve had.
Edit: Three Guadeloupe '98s tested against each other. My ranking today 1. Milano Rum Fest 2. the Rum Cask 3. Colours of Rum A good drop, elegant in the mouth with a pleasant warmth. I found it very good when I tried it for the first time. Unfortunately, it could not prevail against its two competitors in the crosstasting, although this is a very good 3rd place.
#4178 This is a very nice Bellevue. Medium fruity and pretty well balanced. Spicy and warm palate with a long finish. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some chocolate ans smoky notes. Would have loved it at an even higher ABV 😊
Nice round Guadeloupe without being too complicated A single cask simply to enjoy
