The Berry Bros. & Rudd 1998 Guadeloupe Rum is a remarkable 19-year-old spirit, meticulously crafted in the Bellevue distillery in Guadeloupe and bottled by the esteemed Berry Bros & Rudd. Distilled in 1998 from sugar cane juice using a Column Still, this rum promises a complex and delightful experience with its 47.9% ABV in a 700ml bottle. The nose reveals an enticing blend of chocolate, roasted notes, and a captivating freshness despite the notable alcohol content. Fruity nuances of apples, dry fruits, and tropical fruits are prominent, enhanced by subtle hints of nuts, caramel, and a grassy undertone. On the palate, this rum is perfectly balanced and oily, carrying forward the fruitiness found in the nose with flavors of pineapple, banana, red fruits, smoky wood, caramel, and vanilla, with a touch of tobacco. The finish is medium-long, offering a complex interplay of mature banana, fresh mint, milk chocolate, peppery spice, dried fruit, and a subtle Savanna-like smokiness. This rum has garnered overwhelmingly positive responses for its intricate profile and sessionable quality, making it an excellent addition to any connoisseur's collection.
