The Kintra Spirits The Rum Mercenary 1998 Bellevue Black Label 21yo is a spectacular expression of rum from the renowned Damoiseau distillery in Guadeloupe. Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2019 by Kintra Spirits, this rum boasts an ABV of 55.8% and is presented in a 700ml bottle. This 21-year-old rum presents a remarkable balance of flavors and aromas, making it a standout choice for rum enthusiasts. On the nose, you are greeted with a harmonious blend of menthol, banana, olive, tobacco, and wood, which evolves into clearer notes when a splash of water is added. The palate follows with a complex mix of fruitiness and light saltiness, enriched with wood and licorice. These flavors are then complemented by trailing hints of mint, more licorice, and olive. The long finish maintains a light saltiness, with lingering notes of fruits, wood, and a touch of honey. This rum is described as having "suppleness par excellence" with well-integrated alcohol and a complex, balanced character. While it may not be as stunning as other Bellevue expressions, it remains a highly refined and top-balanced option for connoisseurs.
This rum is unique due to its complex flavor profile and excellent balance of flavors, combined with its 21 years of aging and the high quality associated with the Damoiseau distillery.
To fully appreciate its complexity, it's recommended to sip this rum neat or with a small amount of water to open up the flavors.
You can expect a mix of menthol, banana, olive, tobacco, licorice, wood, fruitiness, saltiness, mint, and honey.
This rum is a delightful journey through diverse notes, from its menthol and banana aroma to its complex, salty, and minty palate. The well-integrated alcohol and balanced character make it an exceptional choice for any rum enthusiast. A bottle worth adding to any collection.
