Compagnie des Indes 1998 Guadeloupe Bellevue 16-Year

molasses! dry.
i smell smoke and wood. pepper. some elements of fruit.
i taste a deep rum, oaky spice. smokey character. citric tunes.
10/10 - drop 5 points, if you love the sweet rums!
very good. normaly rum from guadeloupe is made of fresh sugar cane. this one is not. its molasses. a clean spirit with smokey and wooden taste. fresh. citric. one of the best sipper without barbados rum!

I really like this one. Compagnie des Indes is a small french company which are traveling around the world to buy single casks from different destilleries. They select awesome rums (most likely without any sugar). Not too sweet, not too hard. This one has a heavy body with an rich flavor.

Great complexity, little peppermint, caramel. Great to drink

For a French distillery that normally produces agricole rhum, the Bellevue folks in Guadeloupe hit a home run with this molasses-based gem. Rich and very smoky. I can practically taste bacon and molasses, plus overripe tropical fruit. This is just wonderful rum.

Dry with a strong taste. Great nose and long aftertaste.

Tastes a little bit like agricole rums, really strong alcoholic feeling. Nothing special though.

Puternic alcoolizat, deși vechi, toate romurile de la Compagnie des Indes nu sunt pe gustul meu. Le-am gustat pe toate la Festivalul German al Romului de la Berlin 2016 dar din păcate niciunul nu m-a convins. Seamănă cu romurile de tip agricole. Există șansa ca în mix-uri să se primească mult mai bine.
