The Rum Artesanal 1998 Bellevue Guadeloupe Cask No. 80 is a distinguished offering from the Bellevue Distillery on the serene Caribbean island of Marie Galante, part of Guadeloupe. Carefully selected and bottled by the esteemed independent bottler Heinz Eggert GmbH, this rum was distilled in 1998 using a column still and is a unique blend of molasses and sugar cane juice. Aged for an impressive 21 years, this rarity is bottled at a robust 53.8% ABV and is available in a limited edition of only 255 bottles, making it a sought-after gem for rum aficionados. The aroma reveals a complex bouquet of fruity notes like blackberries and dried apricots, interwoven with earthy nuances, spicy mint, and a subtle metallic freshness. On the palate, the rum unfolds its strong, dry character with an inviting interplay of tobacco, dried fruit, anise, and spice, complemented by floral and fruity undertones. The long, lingering finish brings forward oak, tobacco, mint, and a medley of spicy and herbal hints. Both Agricole and molasses rum enthusiasts will find delight in its harmonious balance, capturing the essence of both styles. With its distinctive taste and limited availability, the Rum Artesanal 1998 Bellevue Guadeloupe is a cherished addition to any collection, highly appreciated by the rum community.
