LMDW Bielle 2001 LMDW
People who chase dry, wood-forward agricole will feel at home here. This 14-year Bielle from Marie-Galante leans oaky and roasted — mocha, licorice, leather and black tea, with dried apricot and a little fruit peeking through. At 54.6% the alcohol sits surprisingly well. One taster called it the driest, most tannic of the whole set; another said you can sit with the glass forever and keep finding notes.
The community says- Great alcohol integration
- Mocha and licorice depth

How does LMDW Bielle 2001 LMDW taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dry, tannic, wood-and-mocha aged agricole A dry, woody old agricole that most tasters rated highly for its balance and mocha-licorice depth. The one catch: it's the most tannic and bitter of the batch, so you have to like oak.

Review by Timo Groeger
Moving on, awesome, really insane this set. The second or third in the excellent range. This one is very toasty, wood/barrel and spices are recognizable here, also a bit of leather. We have one more :-)
Review by Skyfly
Rhum Bielle LMDW 2001 X-Tasting: A unique set that Daniel dug up here. Over time this rum becomes more and more complex, the aromas more intense. You can feel like sitting at the glass forever and discover new aromas! This one is particularly dry which is not negative though. Alcohol really perfectly integrated!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
12.12.2020 Nice tasting at a local bar with all new rummies. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, complex, balanced, fruits, light citrus, floral, light vegetal, clove. Palate Warm, oily, complex, elegant, light wood, dried fruit, light citrus, tobacco, oily, faint licorice, elegant, light floral. Finish Long, light wood, fruits, dried fruit, complex, balanced, elegant.
Review by Thunderbird
Bielle 2001 No. 9 On the nose, this release is a bit fruitier and less spicy. Dried apricot immediately comes to mind. On the palate, besides this fruit, clear mocha, licorice and wood aromas appear. This harmonizes excellently. The finish is then more on the woody-spicy side again. Top.
Review by Johannes
Great Bielle 2001 cross-tasting: very good! Could have a bit more fruit for me.
Review by Banana Joe
Epic BIELLE 2001 tasting. A great vintage, the set was consistently high quality. Only RX5741 and RX4918 were a bit too woody/bitter for me. There was also a clear winner, the cask selected by Kirsch was for me the most intense, most harmonious. Here was a perfect mix of wood, fruit and spices. The blend is also great, but at 45% it suffers a bit on the palate. Overall I think the highest quality set I have tasted and I believe you will never get this again.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
"Great Bielle 2001 Cross-Tasting": by far the woodiest, driest and most bitter in the line-up so far. You really have to like that. Overall significantly less complex but with much more tannins. The nose actually promises sweet peach caramel notes but on the palate rather very bitter, woody and strong. For me personally the weakest in the line-up so far! 🫣 Either way, complaining on a high level! 😂
Review by zabo
So now the second round of the mega split of the Bielles by BananaJoe. Here too, I have to admit that the level is already very high, for me not a single failure in the bunch and the differences are subtle but still exciting how different they can be.
Review by Buddudharma
Thanks to Daniel for this great split. For me one of the best casks, everything is really in excellent balance here, with great alcohol integration.
