    A beautiful floral and fruity-spicy nose with a pleasant honey sweetness. Sweet and sour currant with pineapple mellowed with banana and cherry. Adds a dry vanilla wood note. Continues nicely on the palate. Full-bodied and really tasty. Slightly bitter yet also fruity and spicy. Perhaps sour cherry with blackberry. Vanilla with some tart nutmeg impact. Pleasantly woody.Also in the finish remains a nice intense spicy and somehow fruity green impression.Great drop!

    wow!🤤🇱🇨an the nose quite different from the vendome 6y. Honey, cherry, butterscotch, cocoa, pastry, followed by tangerine, mango and lots of wood and roasted notes, after some waiting time comes a real menthol note to it. very intense and exciting!taste then directly vanilla, cocoa nibs, menthol, mint and banana with blackberry, plus a fine citrus acid with pineapple and caramel and cocoa.in the finish then dark chocolate, discreet menthol, pimento, pepper and vanilla with a slight bitterness reminiscent of grapefruit peel. unfortunately awesome!

    Wow! Bananen, Ananas, Crème brûlée, ganz viele verschiedene Kräuter und eine Menge an Klebstoff sind in der Nase wahrzunehmen. Statt der Verwandtschaft zu den Bellevues ist eher eine Verwandtschaft zu Jamaika zu erkennen. Dieser Rum setzt sich von den beiden anderen Jahrgängen 1999 und 2002 ab. Kein Zuckerrohr und kaum Honig wahrzunehmen. Nach ca. einer Stunde Standzeit lassen sich ein paar Gemeinsamkeiten zum ’99 Batch feststellen. Am Gaumen dann ganz viel Kräuter, Anis und ganz leicht die Bananen-Ananas Kombination aus der Nase. Am Gaumen wirkt dieser Rum um einiges reifer als seine 9 Jahre. Blind hätte ich ihn wahrscheinlich als den ältesten Kandidaten im Crosstasting, oder auf Augenhöhe mit dem Blackadder 1999, eingestuft. Zudem kommt am Gaumen zur Jamaika-Assoziation von der Nase, ein kleiner Rockley-Schimmer dazu. Der trockene Abgang zeigt nochmal die ganze Vielfalt aus Nase und Gaumen: Kräuter, Früchte, Klebstoff, Anis und sogar etwas Medizin sind hier zu finden. Auch hier wieder ein wirklich toller Rum. 88 Punkte
