Bielle LMDW 2001

Fresh mint and black tea lead the way, backed by plum, black tea and a firm oaky grip — one taster likens the herbal side to a TDL agricole. Aged 14 years at cask strength, it opens up the longer you sit with it: lime, peach, cardamom, cassis, banana. Complex and a bit demanding rather than easy sipping, but very well liked here.

9.0/10

02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 6 Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, plum, berries, light chocolate, faint roasted, faint nutts. Palate Oily, balanced, light wood, light salt, plum, berries, light caramel, faint chocolate, faint nougat. Finish Medium to long, round, oily, light cherry, light banana, faint olive, light salt, faint nougat.

Marie Galante 

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 420 Rums

Marie Galante is a small round island off Guadeloupe that punches far above its size in rum. Known as the island of a hundred windmills, it makes powerful, high-proof agricole, often bottled at 59 percent and up, from three working distilleries. For agricole lovers it is one of the most characterful corners of the French rum world.
