People deep into aged Bellevue and dark, complex cane-juice rum will find the most here. Twenty years at 55.2% gives you smoky wood, licorice and menthol over concentrated tropical fruit, plum and raisins, with a long, spicy finish. A few tasters call it "dirty" and funky in the best way; one found it so mild the flavors nearly vanish. Give it rest and a drop of water.
The community says- Long complex finish
- Deep tropical fruit

How does Silver Seal Bellevue Guadeloupe 1998 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dark, complex old Guadeloupe cask sipper Loved by the people who tried it — dark, complex and long, with smoky wood, licorice and deep fruit. A couple found it surprisingly mild and hard to place blind.

Review by Tschusikowsky
Not classic Bellevue for me. Lots of dirty notes. Reminds me partly of TDL paired with Monymusk. Concentrated fruits, spicy, funky. Very good piece.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a great release and I just love it. At release the price was very good compared to what you got. Leave it to rest for a good while and also try to add some water to release even more flavours on the nose. The nose is nutty with mango, menthol, olive, licorice and cinnamon with light wood trailing. The palate is wonderful and complex yet well balanced. Fruity with spices and smoky wood and licorice. The finish is very long with wood, spices and raisins.
Review by Jakob
Very round Bellevue from 1998. The deep fruit aromas are just as present as the elegant wood notes, the taste is very harmonious. Great fun.
Review by Benoit Mahe
A rather dark and very complex profile. This is probably a molasses-pur jus blend like most (all?) Bellevue 1998s, but on this one it's more the notes of an old pur jus that stand out.
Review by Filip Šikula
On the nose I would olive oil, wood and spices. In the mouth, smoked wood prevails at first, then fruit and the finish that the rum offers is endless. The whole thing is complex and very very enjoyable. I would like to come back to this one.
Review by Cinci
Drank at The Auld Alliance in Singapore - smells like falling into a dessert showcase, creme brulee meets lemon cake, with some caramel candies added. I like it - but blind I probably wouldn't have guessed Bellevue. (04/26)
Review by Pavel Spacek
So mild that all the tastes are almost invissible. Even if the xomplex taste remains for long time. But complex taste of something innert...
