Rom De Luxe 1998 Bellevue Marie Galante GMBV Collectors Series No.3 Batch No.1 23 years old 55.5% 700ml rum is an exceptional molasses-based rum distilled in 1998 at the renowned Bellevue Distillery on the picturesque French island of Guadeloupe. This exquisite spirit has been aged for an impressive 23 years, benefiting from both tropical and continental climates, which lend it a remarkably complex and balanced aroma profile. Limited to just 258 bottles, it is a coveted gem in the Rom De Luxe Collectors Series.
Upon opening, the nose is greeted with a symphony of subtle yet intricate scents. Freshness and vanilla intertwine with molasses, wood, and tobacco, while delicate hints of honey and tropical fruit add a refined sweetness. On the palate, the rum unfolds layers of complexity—notes of leather, toffee, espresso, licorice, and chocolate meld seamlessly with caramel. The initial sharpness on the tongue quickly gives way to a rich and multifaceted flavor profile. Unique undertones of tar, dirt, wet ashes, and rubber make a brief but intriguing appearance, enhancing the overall experience.
The finish is memorable, leaving a lingering impression of dried fruit, chocolate, woody notes, licorice, and nuttiness. Balanced and refined, this rum's finish is dry, short, and crisp, with echoes of strong black tea, acetones, nail polish, brine, and toffee. Reviewers have praised this rum for its harmonious complexity and well-integrated ABV, making it a delightful and engaging drinking experience.
