HoneyBatcher GmbH Bellevue Honeybatcher Guadeloupe Rum 1998

Bitter orange, black tea and a herbal, almost medicinal edge — several tasters mention that "sticking-plaster" note over apricot jam, lime and burnt sugar. This is a 28-year-old Bellevue 1998 from Guadeloupe at 54%, and the age shows as wood and spice that stay balanced rather than drying it out. Most find the alcohol beautifully integrated for the strength.

Herbal, orange-and-tea aged Bellevue sipper Widely loved as a high-quality Bellevue 98 — fruity, herbal and well-aged with great alcohol integration. A couple feel the cask is right at the edge or slightly diluted, but sentiment is strongly positive.

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.

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 ...). 😉

Sehr gelungener Guadeloupe 98. Viel Zitrusfrüchte, dunkle Schokolade, Mokka und Meersalz mit Kakao, etwas Lavendel und Minze, Orangenmarmelade und Vanille... tolle ausgewogene Mischung und Alkohol perfekt integriert. Schönes Ding!

Toller Rum bei dem Frucht- und Holzaromen, sowie gebrannter Zucker, Minze und Schwarztee super harmonieren. Die diversen Zitrusfrüchte passen perfekt zu Pflaume und Pfirsich. Der Alkohol ist super eingebracht. Irgendwas fehlt mir aber für eine Spitzenbewertung.

Reiht sich ein in die Riege der ausgezeichneten Bellevue 98er. Muss ich nochmal direkt mit dem Nobilis vergleichen (den ich bei 89 Punkten hatte).
