How does this rum taste?
The Single Cask Rum from Guadeloupe's Bellevue distillery, bottled by Duncan Taylor, embodies the essence of regional craftsmanship with its limited release of only 199 bottles. Distilled in 1998 from sugar cane juice and matured for 18 years, it features a 52.8% ABV. Tasting notes reveal a rich blend of wood, sour cherry, and pepper, coupled with coffee and licorice hints. Users appreciate its complex aroma of dark fruits, woodiness, and slight herbal notes. However, some found its palate less complex compared to the nose, describing the mouthfeel as slightly thin despite its high proof, which dampens its overall intensity.

RumX calendar 01.12.2023 Had blindly guessed an Agricole from the Les Ephemeres range.
Exciting Bellevue from 1998, which offers the typical aroma spectrum of fresh red fruits, rich barrel impact as well as spices and a portion of roasted aromas, but is somewhat more tamed compared to other representatives from the 1998 vintage due to the slightly lower alcohol content on the one hand, but also rounder on the other. All in all, further proof of the inspiring quality of the Bellevue releases. Great!
RumX Advent 1.12.23 Herbal, spicy, medicinal notes, red and blue fruits, good sweetness. Possibly a few volumes too little for a higher rating. I like it very much.
Great bottlings keep coming out of Guadeloupe. DT always has good casks and 18 yo with cask strength sounds great. Nose: beautifully spicy, woody and fruity. Initially slightly peppery with nutmeg and slight hints of Maggi. There is also something spicy, perhaps ginger and a hint of mint. Fragrant cedar wood and a light roasted smoky note take over, closely followed by a creamy toffee sweetness with cherry, blackberry and subtle lemon zest. Very pleasant. 88 Palate: Spicy and woody here too. A delicious blend of umami, licorice, sweetish caraway and slightly salty-peppery. But it has something fresh and herbal about it, with saffron and camomile underlined by sour cherry and grape. Grassy sugar cane and liquorice come through at the back. I also really like it. 86
