Corman Collins Trois Rivières Cuvée Bèlè 2005
Woody and spice-forward, with candied tropical fruit (mango, lychee), sugarcane and a Cognac-cask sweetness underneath. The nose pulls people in with jammy fruit; the palate turns peppery and a bit drying. A few tasters get coffee, cocoa and tobacco on the finish. Most agree it's an unusual Trois Rivières — one that finally won over even the skeptics of the distillery.
- Candied fruit nose
- Cognac cask depth
- Well-balanced

How does Corman Collins Trois Rivières Cuvée Bèlè 2005 taste?
Aggregated from 37 community reviews.
Woody, peppery agricole with candied fruit A well-balanced, atypical agricole most members rate highly. Lovely candied-fruit nose and Cognac influence; the catch is a drying, peppery finish and modest complexity.

Review by Joachim Guger
Ein sehr runder, ausgewogener Agricole. Dominiert wird er von einer perfekten Holzreife. Sehr ernst und gediegen. Etwas Wasser bringt eine wunderbare Orangennote hervor. Komplexität ist nicht seine Stärke, der Alkohol ist perfekt integriert.

I'd say the price tag is pretty OK on this release. A fruity and intense rum with nice mix of spices. I like the there is a difference between the nose and palate, not a lot but enough to surprise you. The empty glass is really nice and I get light coffee and chocolate notes.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Trois Rivières au profil atypique et plaisant. On retrouve un nez agricole, bordé d’épices, de bois, de caramel et de canne à sucre avec des notes légèrement fruitées et florales, ainsi qu’une touche de solvants qui relève le niveau. Les épices prennent le dessus en bouche avec le poivre, le piment et le gingembre, avant de faire place à quelques notes de canne à sucre, de bois et de fraîcheur végétale. La finale est moyennement longue et est dominée par les épices, une touche de cognac et des notes de café, de cacao et de chocolat qui se mêlent à une certaine fraîcheur. L’alcool y est bien intégré. Un rhum complet et équilibré qui change des profils plus classiques de la distillerie.
Review by Rodolphe
Très beau rhum. Le nez est super charmeur, tout en fruits confits et en douceur. Le fût de Cognac a bien fait le job! Je suis un petit peu moins séduit par la bouche, sympa mais plus marquée par le poivré du bois.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Incredibly delicious and unusual trois Rivieres. Tropical fruit, dark chocolate, cognac influence and some mint, as well as vanilla and some ginger jelly. Really nice part! The first trois Rivieres I think the me fully convinced.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso tabacco, zucchero tostato, colla e frutta prematura. Al palato è un po' ruvido con note di solventi, tabacco, arrostito, cacao amaro, frutti rossi prematuri, bosco e spezie (pepe e cannella), sul finale troviamo nocciole tostate e un po' di acidità simile ad alcuni Depaz. Nel bicchiere vuoto arrostito e tostatura. Un ottimo agricolo, grazie Simon! Il voto oscilla tra 8.8 e 8.9

Sehr runder ausgewogener Agricole. Super angenehme Trinkstärke.
Review by Djehey
La Martinique au nez et à la bouche , ça fait plaisir :) Profil avec un beau boisé mais une touche fruit exotique type mangue litchi. On perçoit la canne et quelques agrumes mais tout cela est vraiment confit. Bel équilibre. Finale plutôt boisée. Seul bémol : la fin de bouche est assez asséchante.
Review by Romanodeltauro
Rhum agricole puissant, sur les notes de bois, d’épices et de Cognac. Un nez concentré et très porté sur l’alcool. La suite nous emporte sur de belles notes de sucre, café et sur la fin, un cuir très agréable. Un petit peu trop piquant à mon goût, l’alcool manque d’intégration.
