Distilled 1998, bottled 2018 — one source, one barrel, individually numbered and entirely unadulterated.
This is the single malt of rum. It was distilled at Guadeloupe’s Bellevue distillery in 1998 and bottled in 2018 — one source, one barrel, individually numbered. What is not in it matters as much as what is: no dyes, no colourings, no cold filtration and no added sugar. The exact, honest age of a distillate matured for two decades.
To finish, the rum spends six months in Grand Cru barrique barrels sourced from Germany’s finest VDP wine estates, which lends a decisive final note to an already exceptional spirit. A rare and collectable bottling for anyone who values authenticity above all else.
Serve with: nothing. Neat, at room temperature, in a tulip glass. Adding anything to a single cask like this defeats the point of it.

A great deal of rum is sweetened after distillation, which flatters a young spirit and disguises what is actually in the glass. This one is bottled as it came from the cask.
Compounds that make a spirit cloud when chilled — and, with them, texture and flavour. Skipping it preserves both.
