Review by Benoit Mahe
Un Bielle équilibré. La bouche est douce, fruitée et sucrée, à la fois fraîche et à la texture gourmande. La finale est longue et plus amère, épicée et terreuse.
Review by TheJackDrop
Notes prises lors du Rhum Fest 2024, Notes rapides et palais un peu lourd, désolé :) On a ici : un Bielle 5 ans sur le fruit Un rhum : qui ressembler à une belle marmelade à l’orange Finale : boisée et légèrement amère Un vrai coup de cœur ! Stand au top.
Review by Djehey
Sugar cane, honey, fresh herbs, no doubt about it, this is a Bielle! Unlike some of its overly sweet brothers, with aromas of anise, thyme and licorice, I find this one more balanced and interesting, thanks to lemon zest, green pepper and ginger. The finish seems older, with darker aromas, a little bitterness and an earthy edge. Original finish, but not too much for my taste.
Review by Hogshead
Schöne Facetten eines noch recht jungen Rhum Agricole, der feine Eichenholz Aromen sein Eigen nennt, aber auch überraschend fruchtig und süß ist.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Well balanced Biele, easy to drink.
Review by Stefan Persson
Tasted this single cask Bielle Agricole at the Sweden (Stockholm) Rumfest 2024 during an masterclass held by Excellence Rhum. It’s distilled in 2017 annd aged in Marie-Galante for 5 years in an ex-Bourbon cask before bottled by Excellence Rhum at its natural proof at 57,6% in just 229 bottles. The nose is intense and a little sweet with aromas of orange and marmalade. At the palate it’s intense, elegant, fruity and spicy with flavors of butter, citrus and wood. The long finish is complex and well balanced with the flavors persisting.
Review by Vincent D
Goûté avant son aîné de 10 ans au RhumFest. Un Bielle assez typique pour moi. La canne est encore présente. Le citron est sensible. Finale qui apporte une jolie amertume. C'est plutôt agréable mais là encore je trouve le tarif de sortie très élevé.
