CoR Bellevue Guadeloupe No. 2 1998
Highly praised for its expressive, herbal‑spicy nose and well‑balanced, woody palate. A solid, mature Guadeloupe that rewards attention, even if some find the palate simpler than the nose.
Fans of aged, herbal‑spicy Guadeloupe rums who enjoy dry, woody profiles with leather and dried fruits at cask strength without excessive funk or sweetness.

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 😊
