Tasting Notes:

“Six years in the tropics, the rest in Europe. I don't think this is a bad combo for organoleptical purposes, but it may be 'politically'. This is ex-refill rum cask (h.u.r.r.a.y.) Colour: deep gold. Nose: fully on Bellevue's Jamaican side. Olives, gherkins, tar, liquorice, gauze, grapefruit skins, kerosene… With water: metal polish, putty, carbolineum, ultra-ripe bananas. Mouth (neat): very extraordinarily medicinal (did I make my point?) Stupendous camphors, eucalyptus, tars and liquorice. Drop of brine, drop of lemon juice, perfecto. With water: don't add any water to these rums. In this very case, just a few drops of Vittel unleashed a hoard of strawberries. It's not that I'm against strawberries, but in my rum, no thanks. Having said that, this is common in peated whiskies too. Finish: long, with more citrus and earth. Comments: what I've learnt, fully empirically, is that rums are much harder to reduce correctly than whiskies. Basically, when in doubt, always forbear.”

SGP:652 - 90 points.

Nose: a pretty elegant mix of overripe pineapples, bananas and peaches, with funkier notes of gherkins and diesel. Some pleasant polished wood, cinnamon, liquorice and wax. Then also honeyed notes and olives in brine. There’s a lot going on, but overall it shows great roundness.

Mouth: quite dry, with plenty of citrus notes and leather, as well as briney notes, dried grasses and hints of tar. A lot of medicinal herbs too. Then salted caramel, hints of vanilla and roasted pineapples. Hints of iodine and camphor, pepper and orange peels. Still really good.

Finish: medium long, with more of these earthy herbs, drops of bitters and some tarry smoke.

Note: 89/100
