Very nice Bellevue 98 cask. Quality is very high as can be expected for the vintage. More on the balanced and fruity side while spices and/or wood are present but not overwhelming. Excellent stuff.

#6324 06/08.02.2026 My first visit to The Village in Nuremberg and it was a very pleasant surprise. I will definitely attend again as there is more than enough rum going around. This is a very nice and well balanced rum. Light wood with some orange and plum mingling well with light mint and some rubber and olive. There is a very faint honey note in the background. Overall balance is great.

Edit: jetzt nicht nur einmal probiert. Und mein Fazit ist, wow der ist lecker. Wie nicht anders zu erwarten ist der 98er Jahrgang sehr hochwertig. Gut das Fabi über dieses Fass gestolpert ist. Und auch ohne Bestechung nach oben korrigiert. Sehr lecker

Hanse Spirit Hamburg Februar 2026. Und dann noch den geilen Honey Batcher von Fabi :) Echt ein leckerer Rum, echt wow dieses Teil, ein echt guter Rum, wohl aus Melasse gebrannt (danke Gunnar). Sehr pflanzlich und frisch, so wie die meisten von dort.

9.0/10

Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass von diesem mittlerweile legendären Batch 1998 noch was aufgetrieben und abgefüllt wird, aber es ist passiert - und wie! Dieser Rum überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Er hat für mich vom Anfang bis zum Ende großes Lippenleck-Potenzial (selbst noch das leere Glas nach dem Austrinken!), was von diesem herrlichen Aroma nach eingedickten gelben Früchten (Aprikosenkonfitüre) herrühren mag. Ich mag ja Rums von Isautier sehr gerne und zuerst dachte ich angesichts dieser überwältigenden Fruchtnote, ich hätte einen Isautier im Glas. Aber genug den Mund wässrig gemacht, ihr müsst Fabians neuesten Geniestreich selbst probieren (aus sicherer Quelle weiß ich, es werden in Kürze noch weitere Flaschen verfügbar sein 😎). Der Bauerngaumen in seiner Einfalt sagt jedenfalls: Großes Kino! Ach so, Sportsfreunde, und für mich ist das auch geschmacklich kein Agricole, sondern eindeutig ein Melasse-Rum (es soll ja weiterhin Zweifler geben ...). 😉
