Aroma visualization from community tastings
LMDW Bielle 2001
Roasted wood and warm spice lead here, with dried apricot, mango and peach filling in behind, plus leather, mocha and a touch of licorice. This is an aged Marie-Galante agricole that leans dry, woody and complex rather than grassy — several tasters said it keeps opening up the longer it sits, and the 53.1% is worked in so well you barely feel it. One person even likened the profile to old Armagnac.
The community says- Complex, keeps evolving
- Long, intense finish
- But: Cask-forward, can read woody

27.06.2020 Tasting at the office with my colleagues. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light roasted wood, citrus, faint honey, floral, light caramel, light earthy. Palate Balanced, complex, floral, citrus, light chocolate, tobacco, spice, lightly dry. Finish Long, balanced, complex, wood, faint chocolate, citrus, dried fruit, light vegetal.
Review by Joachim Guger
A nose full of depth and complexity. Nougat, licorice and then it goes towards ripe fruit (mango, peach). Complemented furche an earthy, musty note. Wood is there enough, of course, well integrated. Spicy. Some water makes it creamier.Woody in the mouth, paired with a complex blend of spices.A full, deep, long aged rum. The classic Bielle profile is recognizable.

An der Nase ordentlich Karamell / Toffee, Piment, holzige Noten und getrocknete Aprikose. Am Gaumen Muskatnuss, Lakritze, Karamell, altes Holzfass, Mokka. Richtig guter, runder und zugleich vielschichtiger Bielle! Vielen Dank für das Sample nach Wien!
Review by Jakob
Ein weiteres ausgezeichnetes Single Cask von Bielle aus 2001. Erneut finden sich aromatische Reminiszenzen an Damoiseau, in diesem Release hat jedoch erneut das Fass etwas stärker auf das Profil eingewirkt. Neben den schweren Früchten, expressiven Gewürznoten und floralen Nuancen treten deshalb die Holzaromen etwas prägnanter auf. Mein Favorit aus den mir bekannten Releases bleibt Fass #2, gleichzeitig hat keines der anderen Fässer enttäuscht - im Gegenteil, das Niveau ist eindrücklich hoch. Eine exquisite Abfüllung.
Review by Johannes
Wieder mal ein sehr guter Bielle mit schönem tropischen Fasseinfluss, der jedoch nicht überladen ist. Außerdem Kirsche, Pfirsich, Nougat. Im leeren Glas riecht man wunderbare gelbe Früchte.

Tout simplement excellent. Belle complexité, belle longueur. Superbe 😍
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è ricco, rotondo e gustevole con aromi ammalianti di frutti rossi, albicocche secche, leggero cuoio e tostatura, qualche spezia, un sentore lontano iniziale di vernice/smalto, c'è anche qualcosa di floreale, miele caldo e moka. Davvero delizioso! Al palato è potente e cremoso con frutti rossi, ciliegie, floreale, tostato, legnoso, con frutta secca (datteri e albicocche), spezie leggere, uno sfondo dolce di torrone. Il tutto avvolto in una rotondità eccezionale e con un finale bello persistente. Nel bicchiere vuoto lievi stagionati e frutti. Che perla, grazie a Roberto.
Review by French_Rhumeur
Un beau rhum agricole, complexe. Bielle au profil singulier. Nécessite une 2e dégustation.
Review by Ayc
Rapide: La bouteille est ouverte depuis longtemps, difficile d’être absolument sur du retour mais c’est un très très beau rhum. C’est la première fois que je sens ça sur un bielle, en dehors de la trame classique on a au nez un musc un peu faisandé..! C’est assez vert également et très complexe. Très longue finale. Franchement c’est super bon. Un poil raide en alcool
