Top review from Tschusikowsky:
"Sweet and tropical nose. Mango, popcorn, vanilla, iodine and spices. Then much more mature in the mouth. Smoky, mint, overripe, tropical fruit, vanilla, menthol and rubber. Nice long finish. Pleasing, crisp and fine. I like the 2003 vintage much better than the 2001s."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"Yesterday we had a nice relaxing evening and despite the bad weatherboutside, we had great weather inside. Very nice Bielle from Excellence Rhum. The nose is fruity with nice spices from the start and then grass, chocolate and rubber. There is a very faint floral note in there as well. The palate is complex and very well balanced. The ABV is masterfully integrated and you barely feel it. Fruit and spices hit first the wood, honey and chocolate and very light rubber. The finish is medium long and woody with pineapple and grass as well as a hint of rubber."
Brut de FĂ»t (Excellence Rhumâs 10th Anniversary)

Top review from Galli33:
"Great Rum, well balanced, complex, great integration of the barrel and ABV. It has the classic St. James profile with all the beloved notes and tastes. I love the fresh, minty, chamomile notes at the very end of the finish. Conclusion of my tasting: 2006<<<2005<2001 (Roberto style đđđŒââïž)"

L'odyssée le bar de l'ours

Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Excellence Rhum a sĂ©lectionnĂ© ici lâexcellence du BĂ©lize. Le nez est intensĂ©ment gourmand avec les notes pĂątissiĂšres : toffee, caramel, viennoiseries, praline, biscuit et sucre brun donnent lâimpression de confectionner un gĂąteau. Le chocolat, la vanille, le piment, la muscade et le bois rĂŽti amplifient la rondeur du profil. La noix de coco et le raisin sec viennent apporter du fruit et rafraĂźchir le tout. Un nez riche, sucrĂ© et gĂ©nĂ©reux. La bouche est un contraste saisissant entre puissance et gourmandise. Les notes sucrĂ©es et pĂątissiĂšres dĂ©crites plus haut viennent inonder le palais, tandis que les Ă©pices (piment, muscade), le bois et le tabac viennent chauffer le profil avec lâalcool. Ce dernier est relativement bien intĂ©grĂ© vu son degrĂ© et le fait quâil soit noyĂ© dans la douceur. On retrouve Ă©galement le chocolat au lait, le cafĂ© et la noix de coco avec le raisin sec. Le profil est rond et extrĂȘmement gouleyant, pour le plus grand plaisir des papilles. LâaĂ©ration lui fait Ă©galement du bien. La finale se veut lĂ©gĂšre et sĂšche, dĂ©barrassĂ©e dâune partie du sucre contenu dans le liquide. Il rĂ©side une trace Ă©picĂ©e, chocolatĂ©e, cafeinĂ©e et surtout boisĂ©e, avec un peu de coco et de caramel en prime, mais cela reste moins marquĂ©. Un BĂ©lize particuliĂšrement savoureux et intense, qui nâa rien Ă envier Ă dâautres sorties du genre."
278 Collection (10th Anniversary)

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Tasted this single cask Bielle Agricole at the Sweden (Stockholm) Rumfest 2024 during an masterclass held by Excellence Rhum. Itâs distilled in 2012 and aged in Marie-Galante for 10 years in an ex-Sherry cask before bottled by Excellence Rhum at its natural proof at 54,8% in just 280 bottles. The nose is elegant, spicy, oily and fruity with aroma notes of cigar and cherry. At the palate itâs smooth, delicious and elegant with flavors of fruits, plum and some menthol. The finish is long and delicious with notes of fruits and spices."
Espérance B07 (Collection 2023)

Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"A beautiful bottling by Excellence Rhum. This rum from the Espérance distillery (which produces Longueteau and Karukera) is a fine experiment that was first aged in cognac casks before moving on to new oak. This reverse aging gives a very interesting profile, with a nose of toasted wood and spices, but which is also very suave. Tobacco, dried fruits (grapes), walnuts, caramel and chocolate create a beautiful olfactory harmony. On the palate, the first impression is of an extremely smooth, syrupy rum with a sweetness of caramel, nougat and honey. It's only afterwards that the cognac cask adds a little liveliness, with a dry side of fruit (raisins), spices and roasted wood. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is very long, sticking to the palate with this sweet, syrupy side before reasserting itself on spices and roasted wood. The touch of cognac lingers and is very pleasant. A very nice rum for its age, price and accessibility."
515 Collection (10th Anniversary)

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Tasted this single cask Bielle Agricole at the Sweden (Stockholm) Rumfest 2024 during an masterclass held by Excellence Rhum. Itâs distilled in 2017 annd aged in Marie-Galante for 5 years in an ex-Bourbon cask before bottled by Excellence Rhum at its natural proof at 57,6% in just 229 bottles. The nose is intense and a little sweet with aromas of orange and marmalade. At the palate itâs intense, elegant, fruity and spicy with flavors of butter, citrus and wood. The long finish is complex and well balanced with the flavors persisting."

Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Un rhum dĂ©routant. Le nez est dâabord assez timide, montrant dâailleurs des signes dâalcool ainsi que de lĂ©gĂšres notes de fĂ»t, dâĂ©pices et de caramel. LâaĂ©ration fait apparaĂźtre un cĂŽtĂ© plus beurrĂ©, plus funky, mais aussi beaucoup plus de fruits, allant des agrumes (citron) aux fruits tropicaux (ananas, noix de coco). Un profil olfactif rond, moelleux, presque crĂ©meux. Si jusque-lĂ le profil Ă©tait intĂ©ressant, le palais va cependant en prendre un coup. Le cĂŽtĂ© funky du nez disparaĂźt quasiment (la note de colle arrive tardivement) au profit dâune sorte de Foursquare bis et alcoolique au possible : noix de coco, caramel, toffee, biscuit, Ă©pices douces (vanille, poivre) fruits secs et notes toastĂ©es sont de la partie, crĂ©ant un bide assez tonitruant en bouche. Pour couronner le tout, lâalcool nâest pas bien intĂ©grĂ©, il en est mĂȘme une des saveurs principales. Un vĂ©ritable revers de bĂąton aprĂšs un nez pourtant prometteur. La finale, assez longue, ne donne guĂšre plus dâattrait que le palais. Un peu dâĂ©pices, de notes fumĂ©es et de cuir qui viennent concurrencer les notes douces et la noix de coco fortement dosĂ©e en alcool. Clairement pas la rĂ©fĂ©rence dans le monde des rhums fidjiens, ni pour son embouteilleur."
04 Collection (10th Anniversary)

Top review from Mike H.:
"75 points. Resembles a Clairin in the nose. 2nd tasting, same note. Alcohol is very well integrated. I still like the nose a lot, on the palate this rhum is too floral and (please donât stone me) way too agricole for me. There are some agricoles that I appreciate a lot but this one isnât one of them."
2007

Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"17.05.2019 Nice get together at my place with nice spread of rums. Notes Light in colour. Nose Fresh, round, fruity, light wood, faint smoke, pineapple, faint coffee. Palate Intense, round, fresh, fruity, spice, light wood, light chocolate. Finish Long and warm, fruity, light wood, spice, pineapple, light citrus, faint chocolate. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while or the alcohol will bite."
