    How does this rum taste?

    • Rich caramel aroma
    • Complex flavor profile
    • Typical Bellevue character

    The GMBV rum, distilled in Guadeloupe at the Bellevue distillery and aged for 17 years, offers an intriguing profile with a robust 54.3% ABV. Selected and bottled by Cadenhead’s, it features aromatic hints of caramel, sweet burnt sugar, clove, and spice. On the palate, expect herbal, raisin, and orange flavor notes, finished with honey and woody undertones. User reviews highlight both its typical Bellevue profile and a distinctive complexity marked by hints of oak, caramel, and fruity bases. However, opinions vary, and some note a slightly unbalanced alcohol presence, with sweetness and bitterness that challenge expectations of traditional French-style rums.

    "Vielen Johannes für diese Blind Tasting. #No.3 Schön Fruchtig mit etwas Süße und leicht Floral Blumig ordentlich Holz aber nicht störend etwas Nelke schöne Würze. Der Alkohol ist in der Nase wie am Gaumen sehr präsent und nicht wirklich gut eingebunden."

    "Johannes Blind-Tasting No 3: Die Nase ist kaum wahrnehmbar, etwas Karamell und Sahnetoffee. Der Gaumen ist anfangs sehr süß, als wäre eine Dosage enthalten. Dann wieder Karamell, Brauner Zucker, leicht röstig, Piment und geröstete Nüsse. Der Abgang ist kurz und leicht bitter. Ich vermute spanischen Stil á la Cuba. Edit: auf einen Bellevue wäre ich nie gekommen. Dieser ist vollkommen atypisch"

    "Wieder so kräftig wie der andere Cadenhead. Holen mich nicht ganz ab diese Abfüllungen, auch wenn der Rum sehr gut ist."

    "Erstmal recht neutral an der Nase, viel klassische Noten von Eichenholz und Karamell, Würzaromatik, nach und nach zeigt sich auch schwere Fruchtigkeit im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen noch etwas expressiver, aber insgesamt doch im unteren Mittelfeld des Spektrums der Guadeloupe-Releases aus 1998."
