    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers love how this aged Bellevue combines rich orange and licorice aromatics with layers of dark chocolate and woody depth. Notes of candied fruits and toasted spice set it apart, especially when allowed time to open in the glass. Many describe it as smooth, complex, and with great value for its age. It's often sipped slowly after a meal, and praised for being both approachable and multifaceted—making it a smart buy for anyone seeking a refined, long-aged rum experience.

    Parallelverkostung mit dem 98er Milano Rumfest(RX1525) Ein Fest für die Nase, bei beiden. Dieser hier ist im Vergleich der leichtere und süßlichere. Der 1525er ist etwas kräftiger würziger. Der Gaumen ist begeistert von diesem Geschmackserlebnis 😍. Er ist fruchtig, würzig, das getoastete Fass und die feine süße harmonieren wunderbar. Auch hier ist der Milano der kräftigere, aber für mich nicht der Bessere. Der Abgang ist lang,voller süßem Karamell,Gewürzen und feinem Holz. Ein klasse Rum. Für mich liegt der TRC,durch seine feine Süße und das rundere Gesamtpaket leicht vorn. Besten Dank an Alku und Zabo für dieses Erlebnis. 😘

    🤤 einfach lecker. Tolle Komplexität. Hier macht einfach alles Spaß. Absolut rund. Ich will da gar nicht viel schreiben. Einfach Top. Es lohnt sich eine Flasche zu kaufen. Ein toller Bellevue und der Preis ist auch ok.

    Un nez époustouflant et incroyablement complexe. Caramel amer, pâtisseries, bananes, agrumes et herbes en arrière-plan. L’entrée de bouche est douce et fruitée, ananas, carambole, poire etc. Le côté caramel amer du nez passe à l’arrière-plan. La finale est hélas le point un peu plus faible de ce magnifique rhum, elle est plutôt courte et surtout centrée sur l’amertume et le bois léger. Un côté fumé apparaît dans le verre vide avec un peu de bois. Les fruits sont discrets. Merci Mirko pour le sample. En comparaison directe avec le “Roots”, celui-ci me semble tout aussi équilibré mais, par contre, il manque ici quelques watts et de la complexité.

    Prima Abfüllung, hier vermag Bellevue überzeugen. Der Rum braucht jedoch etwas Zeit um sich zu öffnen. Danach wird man mit vielen schönen Zitrus, Holz und frischen Gras Noten verwöhnt. Toll, gefällt mir sehr gut.
