The Silver Seal 1998 Guadeloupe 20yo is a magnificent rum, distilled at the renowned Bellevue Distillery in Guadeloupe. This 20-year-old gem, bottled in 2018 as part of the "Rum is Nature" series, showcases the expertise of the Silver Seal brand. Limited to just 179 bottles, this rum boasts an impressive 55.2% ABV and is presented in a 700ml bottle. The complexity and depth of its flavors make it a truly sought-after release. From its nutty nose with hints of mango, menthol, olive, licorice, and cinnamon, to its well-balanced palate brimming with fruity, spicy, and smoky wood notes, this rum offers an exceptional tasting experience. The finish is notably long with lingering flavors of wood, spices, and raisins. Possibly a blend of molasses and pur jus, this bottling emphasizes the character of the old pur jus, resulting in a dark and intricate profile. Although not a classic Bellevue, its concentrated fruits and funky, spicy notes deliver an extraordinary tasting journey. Some may find its flavors mild at first, but letting it rest or adding a few drops of water can reveal its full spectrum of aromas and tastes. For those who appreciate a sophisticated and nuanced rum, the Silver Seal 1998 Guadeloupe 20yo stands as a testament to the art of rum-making, combining tropical fruit and spice with layers of vanilla and a prolonged spicy finish.
This rum is unique due to its 20-year aging period, limited production of only 179 bottles, and its complex blend of flavors, including notes of tropical fruit, spices, and smoky wood.
This rum is distilled at the Bellevue Distillery in Guadeloupe, known for its high-quality rum production.
For the best experience, allow the rum to rest for a while and consider adding a few drops of water to unlock its full range of flavors.
