Bielle Les Rhums Vieux 2008
What catches people off guard here is the caramel — for a Bielle agricole, several French members note it leans more dessert-like ("pâtissier") than the usual grassy sugarcane profile. You get orange and mandarin, light wood, honey, and a touch of spice, with the 48% well-tucked in. A "très élégant" pour that drinks easier than its strength suggests.
- Orange and mandarin
- Well-integrated 48%
- Silky long finish

How does Bielle Les Rhums Vieux 2008 taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Fruity, caramel-leaning agricole, gently powerful Widely liked Bielle, scoring high for its fruity-caramel balance and integrated alcohol. One honest note: a few find it pleasant but a bit short on the distinctive agricole funk to earn top marks.

Review by N’ours
Superbe Bielle. Un peu en décalage des marqueurs atypique de la maison, plus sûr le caramel au nez et en bouche que l’habitude mais une belle gourmandise et de belles notes. Le degré idéal pour une finale soyeuse longue avec le juste milieu d’intensité

Un Bielle très bien maitrisé. Une belle gourmandise sur les fruits tropicaux.

Review by Sylvain44
Un très beau bielle assez fruité et aussi un peu caramel
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Very interesting Agricole. Got some power at 48%. Loads of orange and mandarin in taste. Some wood, french oak I reckon. Very very tasty. Loving it.
Review by Romain de L
Pretty nice rhum, a bit pâtissier and easy to drink - however lacking a bit in distinctiveness to warrant top marks
