It struck us that our first bottled agricole rum was such a success that perhaps we should continue searching for more things that would expand our horizons and tastebuds. With that in mind, we stumbled upon this beautiful rum from Distillerie Bellevue from Capesterre, Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe. Surrounded by rich, volcanic soil, the distillery is an ideal location to grow high-quality sugarcane. In fact, the distillery was originally a sugar cane factory before it began producing rum in the early 20th century. The column distillation process combined with fresh sugarcane juice creates a complex rum that, even at such a young age, has beautiful sweet and herbaceous notes. This rum, which was distilled in 2016, spent the entirety of its maturation in a once used bourbon barrel until being bottled in 2025. |
