Collectors Series Rum No. 3 – 23 Year Old Guadeloupe Rum from Bellevue Distillery

Collectors Series Rum No. 3 is an impressive single cask rum from Guadeloupe, created for collectors and enthusiasts looking for something special. This exclusive bottling comes from the renowned Bellevue Distillery and is aged for a full 23 years, giving it a depth and complexity that few rums can match. With only 258 bottles in the world from cask 12, this is a rum that appeals to both serious collectors and those looking for a rare and authentic rum experience.

Distilled in March 1998, this rum was bottled in June 2021 after a long maturation period during which it underwent both tropical and continental aging. The combination of the warm climate of the Caribbean and the slower maturation in Europe provides a perfect balance between intensity and elegance. The result is a rum with great concentration, distinctive character and a remarkably deep flavor profile.

Bottled at a cask strength of a powerful 55.5%, the result is an authentic and unfiltered tasting experience that preserves all the natural aromas of the cask and distillate. Each bottle represents a unique piece of Guadeloupean rum history – a rum that shows why the island’s distilleries are among the most respected in the Caribbean.

This Collector’s Series release from GMBV is created with a focus on quality, authenticity and rarity. It is for the passionate rum lover who wants to explore deep layers of flavor and aroma from a rum that has been allowed to evolve slowly over more than two decades.
