Bielle Rhum Vieux Agricole 2011 10yr 45%

"Un Bielle boisé, sur l'agrume, la muscade, les épices piquantes. En bouche, c'est léger. Du fruit. De la vanille. La canne aussi . Et une légère sensation de réglisse. Dans la droite ligne de ce que sait produire Bielle. Édit : nouvelle dégustation et le nez est vraiment très agréable. Une sensation de solvant qui ne m'était pas apparue initialement. Beaucoup d'épices. Vraiment typique. Vraiment réussi."

"A lovely, well-crafted and harmonious Bielle. The nose is honeyed, with a hint of marzipan, woody, toasty and spicy notes, and aromas of yellow fruit and raisin alongside sugarcane and tobacco. Aromatic and warm. The attack on the palate recalls spicy wood, vanilla and licorice on one side, and fruit, notably grapes, dried fruit and yellow fruit on the other. Flavors of cognac and bourbon add further roundness to an already ample, gourmet palate. The alcohol is well integrated. The rather long finish lets roasted, woody, slightly vanilla and licorice scents escape before delivering a hint of freshness with citrus notes. All in all, a very good rum, but one whose price may put some people off."

"The nose is very much focused on dried fruit and glue. The nose is bewitching, with a lovely freshness and spices galore. Bielle's distinctive licorice note is present, but less so than usual. The nose is carried by a sweet, honeyed concentration. A magical nose. On the palate, despite the 45%, it's soft but intense in flavor. The woodiness is delicately present. Fruity and pleasant. There's a lovely lingering vanilla-gloss finish. It's very harmonious and a worthy representative of what good, fine agricultural rums from the French West Indies are all about."

"Very very good but i rate the 2014 brut de fut higher just because it's more intense and less expensive. If this one would have a higher abv it would be very hard to choose i think"

"Divin! Un bielle très agréable, très proche de son cousin 2008. Une vraie petite pépite, typique de chez Bielle qui rappelle beaucoup d’autres cuvées connues de cette distillerie."

"As far as I remember that’s my first Bielle. My wife tasted and said it’s like metal sweet wooden stick. I really like the nose - there is vanilla, yellow fruits and wood. On the palete there is a lot of different things in each sip. I recognize wood, grapes which goes in warm dry ending with fresh herbs and lemons in behind."

"10 ans de viellissement en fut , un nez de fruits secs, en bouche epicé et puissant une harmonie plaisante et enivrante, ce rhum vieux est un must. Médaillé au concours agricole de Paris en 2022 ( médaille d'or)."
