The Habitation Bellevue 2015 Rhum Vieux 1821 6yo 45% 700ml is a masterpiece that epitomizes the traditional craftsmanship of the esteemed Habitation Bellevue distillery, founded in 1821. This vintage rum, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice using a column still, has undergone a meticulous aging process for a minimum of six years in oak casks within the tropical climate of the distillery's serene and well-preserved cellars. The result is a limited edition, elegantly presented in a unique decanter style. This exceptional rum represents the finest of Rhum Agricole, a specialty of the French Caribbean islands. The Bellevue 1821 Carafe 6yo Millesime 2015 boasts a rich and complex aroma profile, featuring nuances of leather, wood, and an assortment of fruits such as citrus, tropical, and candied varieties. These are beautifully complemented by subtle notes of green olives and a hint of salt, creating an inviting and harmonious bouquet. On the palate, this rum delivers a full-bodied and smooth experience, enriched by a rich and enduring finish. The flavor is further deepened by roasted aromas and oak, adding layers of complexity to the tasting journey. This rum stands as a testament to the unparalleled expertise and craftsmanship of the Habitation Bellevue distillery, making it an essential addition for any rum enthusiast or collector. Moreover, the Habitation Bellevue distillery is renowned for its commitment to sustainability and eco-friendliness, being the first distillery in the Caribbean to achieve 100% ecological operations with no pollution. The historic windmill on the estate adds to its charm and character, making a visit to the distillery a must for anyone exploring the beautiful island of Marie-Galante. The 1821 series from Habitation Bellevue, not to be confused with Distillery Bellevue in Guadeloupe, offers a unique blend of rum made from pure cane juice and molasses, maintaining a French style without being classified as Agricole. Limited in quantity, this vintage rum aged for six years in oak barrels is highly sought after for its distinctive qualities, though it may be considered a premium purchase not ideal for novices in the rum world.
