Blind, a few tasters swore this was a Martinique rhum, not a Marie-Galante Bielle — more polished and woody than the distillery's usual bright funk. Apricot and peach lead, with vanilla, fresh sugarcane and a touch of varnish, then oak and pepper on a long finish. At 54% the alcohol sits well-integrated, and a couple of drops of water bring out biscuit dough. Rounded, mineral, easy to like.

How does Bielle Goélette Élevé sous voile 2011 taste?
Summarized by AI from 40 community reviews.
Rounded, woody agricole with apricot and spice Widely rated as an approachable but layered agricole — fans call it elegant and food for thought. The one gripe: a few feel it's very good without quite tipping into greatness.

A very fresh nose. Camphor, glue, polish, then with a little breathing it becomes less. Fresh fruit (citrus, apricot and especially peach can be detected). Some oak. Crisp and complex. A few drops of water bring out cookie dough and macaroons.In the mouth then very crisp, keeps changing until swallowed.The finish is very nice and long.A very good complex Bielle, the typical fruitiness and the typical licorice are withdrawn. In return there is a pronounced minerality and freshness.

Nose very nice citrus caramel. Palate powerful, round, tangy.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I like Bielle and this one is up there with the best of them. The nose is well balanced and woody with fruit and varnish from the start closely followed by nuts, vanilla and some sugarcane. The palate round and balanced fruits and spices first then nutty oak and a hint of honey. A nice palate and a must for Bielle fans. The finish is medium long to long with oak, raisin and a bit of vanilla. Price to quality is very good.
Review by Oliver
Excellent Agricole from Bielle. Accessible yet complex. Really fun!
Review by mto75
Very fresh on the nose with citrus fruits (reminds me of Ahoi Brause Lemon) and slight sharpness, a bit like ginger, plus spices, fruit candy, and young wood. On the palate nutmeg, milk coffee, and wood.
Review by Leo Krüper
Nice Agricole at drinking strength. Very balanced profile with nice tropical cask influence. At the end an interesting licorice or anise note. But by no means unpleasant. Interesting exotic.
Review by zabo
Very good drop. The first nose wasn't bad. But if you give it a little time, it develops and gets even better. Overall, it is very balanced and round with very well integrated alcohol. Makes you want more. Which makes it a mild contemporary with a desire for more
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Not quite as impressive as the RX6777 tasted at the same time, a little sharper and with a perceived (!) sherry finish, but also a great choice. Thank you, Leo, for the blind sample for the RumX Christmas Secret Santa on 21.12.2023!
Review by Czech Rum porter
Very interesting fruit profile, tones of apricots and chocolate. Beautifully pleasant woodiness - round, alcohol well integrated. Delicacy
Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is rich, rounded with hints of both spice and fruit, floral and vanilla. On the palate it is lively, toasty, with red fruits and floral On the lingering finish, slightly woody, but also aromatic, reminding me of violets. Really good despite being relatively young
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
On the nose first solvent then fruity, sweetish with vanilla and apricots, some sugarcane. On the palate balanced between fruits and sweetness of honey. The finish is medium length. Honey, spiciness and oak remain.
Review by Martin Spooner
Wow... Something very special, different. Radiates elegance... Accessible and not boring at all. In the night tasting, it confirms the high score. A very tasty rum. Has something salty.
Review by Léo Delek
Smooth bielle with lots of freshness... top notch
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Not the typical markers of Bielle, I thought it was a Martinican blind, more polished and woody, waxed parquet, cigar box, very beautiful complexity and depth!
Review by Harald
Color: Amber Nose: Initially fruity fresh with apples and pears. Smells of sugarcane, vanilla, fresh wood, mint and a bit of honey. Taste: Pleasantly round and creamy in the mouth. Spicy with oak and vanilla when swallowing. Mineral. Also tastes like cookie dough and apricot. The alcohol is well integrated. Finish: Long and peppery-spicy with oak. Licorice on the finish. Conclusion: Recommended - very tasty Agricole. 88 points
Review by Rhumain
Wow!! Thanks Bielle for offering us such a rum! The nose is immediately very interesting with vanilla, coffee, and fruity notes (especially peach). The palate confirms the nose with a delicious round rum! The finish is slightly salty.
Review by Jacques etdom
A good agricole, very well made. For me, it lacks a little something that could push it into the higher category, a bit like a Neisson, very fine but without madness. However, the price is way too high for this type of rum, hence a deduction of 0.5 points.
Review by Richard Krupa
For an agricole rum, it's surprisingly good for me, smooth
