    How does this rum taste?

    The 2008 Bellevue rum, independently bottled by Isla del Ron, originates from Guadeloupe and showcases classic agricole notes. Distilled from sugar cane juice with a column still, this 10-year-old beverage exhibits a rich profile with woody, nutty, and cocoa hints. At 51.9% ABV, it features a balance of earthy tones and tropical fruit. Collectors value its limited production of only 129 bottles, highlighting its rarity. Despite some criticism for its youth and simplicity compared to earlier vintages, it is appreciated for its spicy and fresh elegance.

    Auch am nächsten Tag bleibt der Eindruck: solide, genießbar, aber nichts Besonderes und kein Vergleich zu den 1998er Abfüllungen. Muss ich keine Flasche davon haben und auch das 5cl Sample ist zu viel.

    Mixture of toasty and fruity/floral notes. All not yet as harmonious and complex as the 1998s. But overall quite successful.

    Tasted as a 5cl sample. In the nose ne decent portion of dead fruit, esp. cherries. In addition, fresh wood and dark chocolate. Grassy Agricole notes are only very discreet to guess.On the palate woody flavors continue. In addition, a touch of lime, vanilla, cocoa and raisins. Quite little happens in the finish. Overall, an easy drinking but tasty Agricole.Edit: with longer time in the glass, the herbal agricole notes come through both on the palate, as well as on the nose then.

    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.
