Here's the twist: this agricole leans more toward caramel and pastry than the sharp, grassy cane you might expect from Marie-Galante. Aged 8 years at Bielle, it's full of orange and mandarin, honey, light wood and a touch of ginger spice. At 48% it has real power, yet the alcohol sits well integrated. Rounder and more "gourmand" than the usual house style, one taster noted.

Superb Bielle. A bit off from the house's atypical markers, more on caramel on the nose and palate than usual but a nice indulgence and beautiful notes. The ideal strength for a long silky finish with just the right intensity.

Pretty nice rhum, a bit pâtissier and easy to drink - however lacking a bit in distinctiveness to warrant top marks

A very well mastered Bielle. A beautiful indulgence on tropical fruits.
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 Pascal Gwada
Very good nose, fruity that becomes pastry-like with aeration, very little alcohol present, pastry-like. Palate in the same tones, caramel, spices, nice presence of licorice, obvious in the empty glass. The length is medium to almost long, on caramel and spices. A very elegant rum with well-integrated alcohol.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Excellent rum with perfect balance. Very nice length and aromatic intensity.
Review by Sylvain44
