“Erstaunlich wie fruchtig dieser Rum vor allem an der Nase ist wenn man bedenkt dass er 20 Jahre alt ist. Vollreife Melone, saftige Kirsche, Banane und etwas verbranntes Gummi, dunkle Schokolade an der Nase aber keine Spur von Holz. Geschmacklich dann dezent holzig , schokoladig, kirschig aber immer noch fruchtig und ölig-frisch nach Tabak und Menthol sowie diversen Zitrusschalen und etwas Schokolade. Sehr komplexer Bellevue, könnte nur etwas weniger bitter für meinen Geschmack sein. Dennoch definitiv einer der besten Bellevue die ich bis dato im Glas hatte.”

“Wow, this is a very nice one from Kill Devil. I really admire them because they're whisky makers and they can definitely finish rums as well. I have a huge selection of their rums and most are really good, especially if you look at the price tag.The nose is heavy with lots of fruits, chocolate and rubber.The palate is wonderfully balanced and complex with fruit, oak, caramel ad a lot of smoke, did I mention smoke? A dry and slightly bitter palate but in a god way. The finish is lasting for a very, very long time with a lot of smoke taking you to vanilla, lime and a tad of rubber.”
