Bellevue works in the agricole tradition — fresh sugarcane juice, column distilled — and the outturn is 236 bottles, non-chill filtered with no additives. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128.6 proof (64.3% ABV), cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge \/ Vintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 years — distilled 2016, bottled 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single once-used bourbon barrel No. 17; 1 of 236 bottles; non-chill filtered, no additives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distillerie Bellevue, Capesterre, Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMarie-Galante Agricole, One Barrel Deep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBellevue began as a sugar factory before turning to rum in the early 20th century, and its cane grows in the volcanic soil of Marie-Galante — some of the finest sugarcane ground in the French Caribbean. Bedford Park, which bottles single casks from the likes of Hampden and Caroni, found this cask by stumbling onto it: column distillation of fresh cane juice gives complexity even at a young age, and the full maturation in a single once-used bourbon barrel kept the spirit’s grassy brightness intact. RumX’s community scores Bedford Park among the most respected indie bottlers in rum.
