Well-liked and pretty consistent, with only a couple of quibbles about the finish. The nose is fresh and citrus-forward — lime, orange peel, sugarcane — over vanilla and caramel, with a whiff of solvent. On the palate it turns darker and spicier: pepper, oak, dried fruit, some chocolate. It needs air to open, and water can throw it off, so most people just let it rest.
The community says- Well-integrated alcohol
- Fresh citrus nose
- But: Needs long aeration

How does Bielle Brut de Fût 2014 taste?
Summarized by AI from 123 community reviews.
Citrusy, spicy cask-strength agricole that needs air Consistently enjoyed as a well-balanced Bielle with integrated alcohol and a citrus-then-spice arc. A couple of tasters found it a touch too herbal-bitter or the finish underwhelming, but most rate it highly.

Super, beautiful West Indian agricultural rum! Bielle does not disappoint. Edit: after airing the bottle, a magnificent nose of flowers, citrus and yellow fruit. The palate is superb, with citrus, caramel and pepper. What a bottle!

Solvent on the nose. Powerful and complex, with a long finish. MDT
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I love rums from Bielle because you always know that they're good and the price matches what you get. What I found in this one, that adding water actually throws it off balance, so try to only rest it instead. The nose is oaky with fruits, sugarcane and spices with a hint of mint and chocolate. The palate is oily and oaky with fruit and a lovely mix of spices trailed by light mint. The finish is long and oaky with dried fruit and a bunch of spices.
Review by jonathan.p🇫🇷
Very good rum from bielle. A very good taste of citrus fruits on pepper with a wood passing on wood! It's really good! Can't wait to taste the releases!
Review by Frank
I like to use a business trip to calmly try one or two samples 😇 Here's a great Bielle. Nose: very citrusy and spicy. Lime with mandarin and orange, green apple, slight apricot and green gooseberry. Feels very fresh thanks to a splash of solvent and dish soap. The dish soap can also lean towards candied lemon peel, like in fruit bread. But behind that also caramel-vanilla softness. You feel the alcohol %, but overall pleasant and aromatic. 8.4 Palate: oh, less fruity, rather bitter and spicy. Lots of lemon and orange peel. Slightly peppery-salty-sharp at the start with nutmeg and a mix somewhere between caraway and clove. Metallic and quite bitter. Only in the finish do finer fruit notes of the gooseberry come back. For me a bit too bitter, but still really good. 8.0
Review by Benoit Mahe
It is really good and well done. The mouth offers a very nice greediness (chocolate, caramel, vanilla). A little less fresh than the 2010 tasted just now, it presents on the other hand a better mastered woody taste. To my taste, the perfect Bielle would have been this one with the length of the other one or the other one with the greedy notes of this one: to be continued...
Review by Vincent D
A successful Bielle for me. A woody framework that doesn't overpower everything. Roundness, a certain acidity. Vanilla. It's very nice. 3 years later, I taste this rum again which is really superb. What evolutivity. The alcohol slides down easily, it's all at once fruity, woody, indulgent. Superb.
Review by Djehey
Comparaison de bielle 2014 brut de fût. Elegant and balanced. Very well-integrated alcohol. Rather dark profile on the palate (spicy, woody, chocolate even if a little citrus enhances the whole), which doesn't quite match the fresher, fruitier nose. This is the one I prefer.
Review by Jackie Flannery
These Brut de fut are an amazing way to learn about Bielle distillery in Marie-Galante. The rums are great for they price tag. I remember the 2007 vintage, what a rum. I was then in a different path in my rum journey. Just coming out from the Zacapas, Plantation 20th and Diplos of this rumworld. I was discovering Foursquare, Habitation Velier Jamaicans and this kind of Rhum Agricole. Bielle don’t follow the same rules as the-so-called real agricoles, that’s maybe the reason why I liked it so much. Bielle suits rum geeks that like molasses 😊. Nose: Peaches, lots of peaches. Especially dried. It reminds me of the 2007 vintage. Sweet aromas of xxx tbc…
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Connecting rod requires a lot of ventilation, but what a blast! My best experience to date with them!
Review by Morgan Garet
The 1st nose on orange and precious wood, then the wood becomes waxed with lots of spices mixed with caramel and fruit (without being able to identify them). Very balanced and greedy. On the palate, the attack is stronger than you'd expect from the nose. We find the same markers as on the nose, plus spiciness and citrus. Spices dominate, but without disturbing, quite the contrary. The finish is long and greedy. As always, a great Bielle rum.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
The nose is unusually aromatic, fruity and honeyed, with a rare delicacy. Spices and wood round off this truly successful balance. The palate is much more assertive, the dry wood and alcohol immediately bringing a different character. Slight wood astringency, dried apricot, blond tobacco and vanilla transport us to a quality aged rum. The finish is long and pleasant.
Review by alex
Advent calendar tasting #9 As usual for this kind of juice, we're not far from perfection Beautiful aromas of fruits, vanilla, caramel, a nice woodiness, a nice length and very well integrated alcohol A delight 🤩🤩🤩
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is very citrusy. The nose is bewitching with a beautiful freshness and spices in pagailles. The note of liquorice specific to Bielle is there but less present than usual. Without forgetting a nice vanilla bean. It is very pastry-like. In the mouth, despite the fact that it is a BDF, it is sweet. The woodiness is present with delicacy. It is fruity and pleasant. We are entitled to a nice vanilla-glue-clove mouth. A nice length on candied fruits closes this pleasant tasting. 2014 had been an exceptional year in terms of cane harvest.
Review by N’ours
Needs plenty of air to open.
Review by sylvain
I found a coherence with the other single casks of Bielle that I have tasted in the past, with a nice balance between a pastry side and the freshness of the cane.aeration is necessary to appreciate it, it reveals quinces, dried apricots, a very pleasant sweet woody.
Review by ElReyTristan
Magnificent, splendid nose of vanilla and caramel with a hint of coconut. On the palate, these aromas are repeated, with a well-integrated woodiness. Spicy finish.
Review by Bob Boby
A little gem, something magical!
Review by ChristophFFM
Very balanced. The alcohol is very well integrated. It tastes almost mild and surprisingly sweet. Unfortunately, the finish is below average.
Review by Michal S
Nice Bielle rum, maybe not so pronounced agricole tones, vanilla, marmalade.
Review by Antoine Lesieur
The nose is quite muted but present and quite complex. I'm getting a lot of tea and citrus, with some minty and floral qualities. There is also a darker side with more espresso and dark chocolate, with a charred quality to it. The palate is very pleasant, with more wood and spice. Well balanced with good length.
Review by Niels LTAR
Woody nose, slightly spicy, fruity (citrus), sugarcane and honey. Palate similar to the nose. Powerful attack but not aggressive at all. Superb balance. A side of fruit jam, citrus so pleasant. The raw cask side balanced with the honey side.
Review by Double Barrel
Bottle finished this evening. The Sauternes finish is discreet and successful. I find it supports the fruity side and attenuates the bitterness on the finish. I preferred it with a tiny drop of water.
Review by RumRhush
Always a good time with these bruts from bielle barrels, with a preference for the 2012.
