Isla del Ron Bellevue 2008
Highly praised as a tasty, well-priced Bellevue agricole with fresh cane, citrus and nutty-oaky notes. Easy to drink at 51.9%, though less complex than the legendary 1998s.
Agricole-curious drinkers who want a characterful, slightly higher-ABV daily sipper with fresh cane, citrus and nutty oak, and fans of Damoiseau/Bellevue looking for an affordable single cask.

A successful surprise. Great Agricole notes, fresh sugar cane juice notes with walnut and vanilla, fine spicy and slightly dry finish. Alcohol perfectly integrated at almost 52%. Wonderful daily sipper that is fun and not overwhelming. For the paid 99€ a purchase recommendation, if still to be found.
A nice Damoiseau! Nose is fruity (mainly citrusy) with a tiny bit of spices and varnish/alcool but in a nice manner. On the palate you've got these green, peppery, flambeed bananas all over the place. A nice herbal freshness (Aloe Vera) melted with spices, green olives, brine and some licorice. Round and gourmand. The final is medium and a bit drying, that's were the balance goes more in favor of the oak but it did the job pretty well! The price is sweet too!
Got a big Scotch single malt whisky vibe from this one. A grower yet a bit fierce in the beginning.
Beautiful thing. I like it. PLV top!
