Cave Guildive Bielle Marie Galante Rum 2008
Agricole fans who want fruit and softness more than raw grass will find a lot to like here. It leans citrus and vanilla with apricot jam, almonds, and a persistent toffee note several tasters keep flagging — the grassy side stays surprisingly quiet. At 55% it's still an easy sipper, dry but round, with an unusually long, astringent finish for a rum only 9 years old.
The community says- Round at 55%
- Citrus & apricot
- But: Very citrus-forward

Review by cigares
The nose is vegetal (rhubarb) and agricultural, with banana and other tropical fruits. On the palate, the attack is rather weak, like a hollow, then the aromas arrive with lime, bitter almond and caramel. The finish is fine and rather long, with fruit and vegetal notes. Another fine rum from Swiss bottler Guildive. When the glass is empty, a lot of smokiness and vegetal notes remain.

Schöner solider Bielle
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Brutal Komplexer bielle, vor allem die lavendel Minze und Kiwi Schoko toffee Note flasht mich sehr!🤤 an der Nase dazu mich Eukalyptus, Feige, Toffee und Grapefruit. Recht adstringierend in Abgang aber dafür extrem vollmundig mit einem ungewöhnlich langen Abgang für so einen jungen rhum. Toll! Generell auffallend wie geil diese Toffee Note bei bielle oft eingearbeitet ist! Hammer!
Review by Mentalo
Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Hat sowohl an der Nase, als auch am Gaumen eine schöne ausgeprägte Note nach Zitrusfrüchten. Dazu etwas mineralisch. Abgang könnte intensiver sein. Es gibt bessere Bielle Abfüllungen, aber ich auch die etwas „schlechteren“ haben noch eine gute Qualität.
Review by Andi
Komplexer Agricole von Bielle. In der Nase hatte ich sehr viel Zitrusfrüchte. Dann am Gaumen doch sehr vielschichtig. Auch bei wiederholter Verkostung hatte ich die Zutrusfrüchte sehr präsent an der Nase!
Review by Basti
Aprikosenmarmelade und Vanille dominieren an der Nase, aber es bleibt unverkennbar, dass es sich um ein Agricole handelt. Auch am Gaumen die fruchtigen Aprikosen-Noten mit einem leicht floralen touch.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A very nice Agricole from this bottler and I like the overall finish. A fruity Agricole with spice, nuts and fruits. Lightly dry and pretty complex for a rum only 9 years old.
Review by Alex1981
Sehr runder, süffiger Bielle. Kaum Gras, aber viel Vanille, Mandeln, Frucht. Easy sipper trotz 55%
