Sipped neat with a little air, this Bielle opens into vanilla, citrus and dried apricot with a grassy agricole edge and light oak underneath. Several tasters found it silky with a touch of pep, the cane spirit well-tucked into the 53.4% strength. One member called the nose "un peu rare" for Bielle — elegant, halfway between a soft Barbados and a fruity agricole. The finish runs a little short.
The community says- Elegant fruity nose
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Keep in mind: Short finish

How does Bielle 40th Anniversary 2008 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Elegant, fruity Marie-Galante agricole, cask strength Well-liked as an elegant, balanced Bielle: fruity nose, silky citrus palate, cane-juice character intact. Most agree the body is classic for the distillery and the finish a bit short.

Review by Joachim Guger
Excellent Agricole.Balanced, perfectly integrated alcohol. Dried fruit and some coconut.Rare!Matching music: Les Vikings "Ti tong ti tong" on "Creole Love Calls".
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Pretty good release. Fruity with light wood. I'd say the Agricole notes are subtle but still there. Price to quality was good at release but very expensive now.
Review by Oliver
Top Bielle!
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Very good Bielle, but in a classic style of the distillery.
Review by Ayc
A very elegant Bielle especially on the nose. It needs a bit of opening but then you have a nice complexity. A nice varnish quite rare at Bielle that I like a lot. On the palate it is relatively classic and very good.

Review by Nicolas Sicilia
An exceptional nose halfway between the indulgence of a Barbados and the fruitiness of an agricole!!!! The palate is silky with a bit of pep, citrus! A slightly short finish but a high-flying rum.
