World-class, minty Bellevue sipper

This is a great rum, especially when considering the price tag when it was released. The nose is a nice mix of banana, olive, tobacco, menthol, licorice and wood once it has rested. If you add water the flavours will be even more clear. The palate is fruity and lightly salty with wood and licorice trailed by mint, licorice and olive. The finish is long and lightly salty with fruits, wood and a bit of honey in the back.
Suppleness par excellence. Alcohol very well integrated. Complex flavor. Not as stunning as the other Bellevue but very fine. Complex character and top balanced.
Après quelques minutes d’aération on pourrai se méprendre sur un autre tdl bien mentholé bien médicamenteux, un nez que j’apprécie beaucoup, Alcool très bien integré, c’est rond et epicié vraiment une réussite
Very very nice molasses based yet thick agricoly feel rum. Perfect. All the berries. Great complexity. I need a bottle.
