Review by Jakob
Expressive Bielle, whose longer maturation is clearly noticeable compared to the younger bottlings. Concise wood and spicy notes, plus somewhat heavy stone fruit and citrus aromas. A little more of the heavy fruitiness that the nose still promises could have made it to the palate to provide a more active counterpart to the barrel influence - but even so, it remains a great rum.
Review by Thunderbird
A very complex, intense Agricole! I am thrilled, Agricole in cask strength simply fits Tasted again today: An almost unbelievably good Agricole, full of aromas from the nose to the finish, very complex. In my opinion, the wood note is perfectly integrated!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a retaste for me and I stick to my initial score. It matches the other 2001 released and it's very close to the Danish release by Juuls. Fruity and floral at the same time. Very well balanced Agricole notes and the ABV is very well integrated. A rare bottle and if you get the chance and you love Agricole you should give this one a go.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Probably one of the best bielles of all time. Incredibly elegant, intense aromas of nougat, mint, eucalyptus tea and honey and not too much wood. Insane! For me, probably one of the best Bielles I have ever tasted.

Was ein Gerät. Intensiv, kraftvoll, komplex und anders.
Review by Frank
Fruchtig in der Nase, dunkle Früchte - Kirsche und Cassis, würzig mit Anis Ein wow-Effekt am Gaumen... erst kurz Tannine , dann in einem Schwung die Süße und Feuchtigkeit von Cassis. Im Abgang etwa Lakritz und leicht Bitternoten Ein sehr schöner und vielschichtiger Rum

Maybe this one is the ultimative cask from the 2001 LMDW Vintages. Unfortunately I bought just one bottle at the time...

Sehr guter Komplexer Rhum.. war sehr überrascht...
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Son nez est très agréable sur le boisé. Il est d’une douceur parfaite sur la cerise. C’est subtil, il faut s’y attarder longuement, il est fermé, il faut le laisser s’aérer pour s’exprimer, mais le résultat est franchement top. En bouche l’alcool est parfaitement intégré, c’est gras et concentré. Contrairement au nez, ici c’est ultra expressif et concentré. L’attaque est boisée mais la cerise prend très vite sa place qui lui est due ! C’est d’une gourmandise époustouflante sur des notes caramélisées encore plus douces. La finale est belle et longue, très longues … sur les épices, les fruits
