How does this rum taste?
Most love its herbal-fruity balance, freshness and long spicy finish. A few note it’s slightly less deep than older 1998 Bellevues, but consensus calls it a top-class, well-priced agricole-style sipper.
If you enjoy mature agricoles or other 1998 Bellevues, this hits the same herbal-fruity, dry profile in a slightly fresher, less oaky style that still has plenty of punch.
Beginners, those sensitive to higher ABV, or drinkers seeking sweet, vanilla-heavy sippers rather than dry, herbal and spicy cane-juice rum.

Ein wirklich schöner Vertreter der 98er Bellevues…
Verkostet auf der "Pueblo del ron" und gleich das erste Highlight. Rund, süffig, fruchtig - die Inkarnation von Rum aus Zuckerrohrsaft, wie man ihn sich vorstellt.
Bottle Market Bremen Oktober 2024. Hier ein schöner Cadenhead's. Nase ist überwiegend kräuterig, Minze sticht hier hervor. Am Gaumen ebenfalls sehr viele Kräuter, außerdem ist er sehr würzig und auch Zimt ist erkennbar.
Verkostet am 2. German Armagnac Festival. Vorab Super wars. Zum Rum selber, leckeres Teil, was Catawiki wieder dabei hatte. Schön ausgewogen und ein schönes Aromen zusammen Spiel. Hat mit sehr gut geschmeckt. Soweit ich das noch beurteilen kann.
