Review by WhiskyNotes.be
A good one, mildly funky but rich. I think the nose is top notch, but on the palate it stays behind some other 1998s we’ve had.
Review by zabo
Edit: Three Guadeloupe '98s tested against each other. My ranking today 1. Milano Rum Fest 2. the Rum Cask 3. Colours of Rum A good drop, elegant in the mouth with a pleasant warmth. I found it very good when I tried it for the first time. Unfortunately, it could not prevail against its two competitors in the crosstasting, although this is a very good 3rd place.

#4178 This is a very nice Bellevue. Medium fruity and pretty well balanced. Spicy and warm palate with a long finish. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some chocolate ans smoky notes. Would have loved it at an even higher ABV 😊

Nice round Guadeloupe without being too complicated A single cask simply to enjoy
Review by Frank
12th GRF, Colours of Rum Tasting. Quick and short... Nose: love Guadeloupe. Wonderful spicy-medicinal nose. Sweetly herbal. Palate: lovage, herbs, great. Pleasant sweetness
Review by Lukas Jäger
Tasted at the 12th GRF, in the masterclass at Colours of Rum: I like Guadeloupe a lot and I like this bottling too. Restrained, sweet nose with a slight herbal touch. Quite a bit bitter on the palate, woody, but overall very tasty. Behind other 98s, but a nice bottling for me!
Review by Oliver
Strong Bellevue! Great floral and intense nose. On the palate creamy and nice spice.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Nose: Compared to the 98 Nobilis (RX11158) much more concise, nice aroma of cherry marzipan;Palate: unobtrusive wood note, spicy, even slight sweetness at the beginning, which gives way to a pleasant dryness towards the back;Finish: relatively short, warm.

Fruitier on the nose than on the palate, distinctive Agricole notes. Not outstanding but overall tasty.
Review by DomM
No2’s nose is a bit more open and vibrant vs. No3. On the palate I prefer No2 with a bit more fruits while No3 presents itself more dark and woody.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Nice mild floral rum, with light fruity taste
Review by Andi
Beautifully aged rum I would guess an Agricole, has nice wood notes, light prune and dry finish.
