Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
06.09.2025 Retasting with 5 of the local guys and I really like it a lot. -------------- A very good Bielle indeed. The nose just races at you once poured and the fruits are there with wood, menthol and polish. After resting i get a hint of marzipan. The palate is wonderfully fruity with wood and menthol and at the end i get a whif of licorice. The finish is long and lightly bitter with wood and oranges.
Review by Vincent D
A woody Bielle, with citrus, nutmeg and pungent spices. Light on the palate. Fruity. Vanilla. Cane too. And a slight licorice sensation. Just like Bielle. Edit: new tasting and the nose is really very pleasant. A solvent sensation that I hadn't noticed initially. Lots of spice. Really typical. Really successful.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A lovely, well-crafted and harmonious Bielle. The nose is honeyed, with a hint of marzipan, woody, toasty and spicy notes, and aromas of yellow fruit and raisin alongside sugarcane and tobacco. Aromatic and warm. The attack on the palate recalls spicy wood, vanilla and licorice on one side, and fruit, notably grapes, dried fruit and yellow fruit on the other. Flavors of cognac and bourbon add further roundness to an already ample, gourmet palate. The alcohol is well integrated. The rather long finish lets roasted, woody, slightly vanilla and licorice scents escape before delivering a hint of freshness with citrus notes. All in all, a very good rum, but one whose price may put some people off.
Review by Timo Groeger
Ja ich finde diesen Agricole echt klasse. In der Nase haben wir überwiegend Holz, aber auch etwas Würze sowie Fass. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls überwiegend Holz, Eiche und Fass, außerdem etwas Vanille. Jedenfalls sehr lecker.
Review by Djehey
I like bielle, but I find this one a bit bland compared to younger cask strength and almost half the price. It lacks some pep.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is very much focused on dried fruit and glue. The nose is bewitching, with a lovely freshness and spices galore. Bielle's distinctive licorice note is present, but less so than usual. The nose is carried by a sweet, honeyed concentration. A magical nose. On the palate, despite the 45%, it's soft but intense in flavor. The woodiness is delicately present. Fruity and pleasant. There's a lovely lingering vanilla-gloss finish. It's very harmonious and a worthy representative of what good, fine agricultural rums from the French West Indies are all about.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Very well integrated rounded agricole rum. Great wood management.
Review by Werner10
Very very good but i rate the 2014 brut de fut higher just because it's more intense and less expensive. If this one would have a higher abv it would be very hard to choose i think
Review by Buddudharma
Nice, balanced Agricole, but a few more watts wouldn't have hurt.
Review by Pascal Gwada
110 chez PHP juin 2024 Un très bon et classique rhum. Nez sur le café, qui évolue sur la vanille après un temps d'aération. Pareil en bouche, très bonne gourmandise avec belle explosion de saveurs tout en restant sur du classique, café, vanille, reglisse, et longueur sur le café. Un très bon rhum, pour moi il lui manque juste un peu d'originalité. 2025: mieux, très bon nez riche et flatteur, très rond très doux, gourmand sur les fruits cuits. Bouche gourmande, alcool très bien intégré, beaucoup sur la réglisse, des épices pas envahissants, un peu de vanille Bonne longueur sur le même ton que la bouche. Le tout très bien équilibré.
Review by Mathieu Bgd
Divin! Un bielle très agréable, très proche de son cousin 2008. Une vraie petite pépite, typique de chez Bielle qui rappelle beaucoup d’autres cuvées connues de cette distillerie.
Review by Nika
Pleasant one - sweetness but a glimpse of saltiness/sea is there too. Dry in taste. Drinkable :D
Review by Ondra RumRunner
Bielle Rhum Vieux Agricole 2011 je agricole rum pocházející z ostrova Marie-Galante, který zraje několik let v sudech po bourbonu, což mu dodává hloubku a komplexnost. Tento rum je destilován z čerstvé šťávy z cukrové třtiny, což mu propůjčuje svěží a přirozený charakter. Vůně je bohatá, s dominantními tóny dřeva, medu a cukrové třtiny. Výrazně se projevují citrusové akcenty, zejména pomerančová kůra, doplněná ovocnými tóny a vanilkou. Nádech muškátového oříšku dodává jemnou kořenitost. Chuť je komplexní a vyvážená, spojující ovocné a dřevité tóny s bohatým sudovým charakterem. Objevují se tóny bourbonu, sušeného ovoce a medu, které jsou doprovázeny suššími prvky, kořením a lehkou tabákovou stopou. Dlouhý a suchý závěr zanechává příjemnou dřevitou dochuť. --- English: Bielle Rhum Vieux Agricole 2011 is an agricole rum from the island of Marie-Galante, aged for several years in bourbon casks, adding depth and complexity. This rum is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice, giving it a fresh and natural character. The nose is rich, with dominant notes of wood, honey, and sugarcane. Citrus accents, especially orange peel, are prominent, accompanied by fruity tones and vanilla. A hint of nutmeg adds a gentle spiciness. The palate is complex and well-balanced, blending fruity and woody notes with a rich barrel character. Bourbon, dried fruits, and honey emerge, complemented by drier elements, spices, and a light tobacco note. The long, dry finish leaves a pleasant woody aftertaste. --- Deutsch: Bielle Rhum Vieux Agricole 2011 ist ein Agricole-Rum von der Insel Marie-Galante, der mehrere Jahre in Bourbonfässern gereift ist und ihm Tiefe und Komplexität verleiht. Dieser Rum wird aus frischem Zuckerrohrsaft destilliert, was ihm einen frischen und natürlichen Charakter verleiht. Das Aroma ist reichhaltig, mit dominanten Noten von Holz, Honig und Zuckerrohr. Zitrusakzente, insbesondere Orangenschale, treten deutlich hervor, begleitet von fruchtigen Tönen und Vanille. Eine Spur Muskatnuss verleiht eine sanfte Würze. Am Gaumen zeigt sich eine komplexe und ausgewogene Kombination aus fruchtigen und holzigen Noten mit einem ausgeprägten Fasscharakter.
Review by Roman Lelek
As far as I remember that’s my first Bielle. My wife tasted and said it’s like metal sweet wooden stick. I really like the nose - there is vanilla, yellow fruits and wood. On the palete there is a lot of different things in each sip. I recognize wood, grapes which goes in warm dry ending with fresh herbs and lemons in behind.
Review by Air engineer
10 ans de viellissement en fut , un nez de fruits secs, en bouche epicé et puissant une harmonie plaisante et enivrante, ce rhum vieux est un must. Médaillé au concours agricole de Paris en 2022 ( médaille d'or).
