9.4/10

Some may say this is an expensive rum but once you had a meeting with it I'm pretty sure you're going to change your mind. A super rum Agricole worth every penny. After resting for. Awhile the nose reveals roasted oak with nice fruits and spices. There is a bit of honey and very light grass notes as well. A very intense but nice array of flavours. The palate is a wonder of intensity and complexity as well as being very well balanced. The ABV is perfectly integrated and you barely feel it. Again lightly roasted oak with fruits and spices as well as a hint of caramel and chocolate. The finish is løng with oak and spices topped off with a touch of raisin. Wonderful rum indeed.

The 2001 Bielle Single Casks impress with their impressive aromas, which combine heavy dark fruits, floral notes, a balanced wood influence and subtle spicy aromas. The complexity is impressive and the flavor profiles are wonderfully balanced. With their heavy fruitiness and subtle cola notes, the releases are somewhat reminiscent of Damoiseau - this cask #2 stands out once again thanks to the very harmonious overall picture in the already very impressive field of other 2001 single cask releases. An absolutely outstanding release, which surprisingly lived a rather shadowy existence for a long time, but is now receiving the recognition it deserves. Excellent!

Oh wow, was für ein komplexer, schöner Rum. Die 14 tropischen Reifungs-Jahre haben ihm eine vielschichtige Aromenpalette beschert. Nase: Wahnsinnig tolle Mischung aus cremiger Toffee-Honig-Süße, würzigen Holz-Aromen, frischen grasigen Noten mit medizinischen Anklängen und süß-säuerlicher Fruchtigkeit. Zunächst weiche Banane mit Honig. Daneben weiche Lakritze und eine medizinisch wirkende feine Salz-Note. Passt irgendwie gut zum vanilligem Sahnetoffee. Könnte ewig dran riechen. 9,3 Gaumen: hier geht er doch stark Richtung Agricole. Holzig-salzig-grasig, mit Kamille und einer deutlichen Eukalyptus-Note zu Beginn. Daneben Lakritze und Limette. Wirkt leicht metallisch. Hätte er hier die noch weicheren und süßeren Aromen der Nase, wäre er Längen besser. 8,5

Wow, ein sehr leckerer Agricole. An der Nase fruchtig und würzig, mit Anklängen der typischen floralen Agricole-Noten. Am Gaumen setzt sich das fort, die grasigen Noten werden jetzt stärker. Langer, würziger Abgang. Das letzte 1cl für eine letzte Verkostung…

8.6/10

Nutty, banana, dried fruit and polish. Animal. Alcohol well integrated, powerful. Very complex and balanced nose. Smells like a tropical aged Caroni without tar and rubber. Beautiful! In the mouth citrus and honey. Sparkling and powerful. Very good rum with a pronounced animal note. I would have hardly recognized Bielle. Quite a bit better than #4.
