    How does this rum taste?

    Grande Réserve from Bielle Distillery Marie Galante is a 2008 cask strength rum botted by Rhum House with an ABV of 58%. Made from sugar cane juice via column still, it offers a complex aroma of herbs, dried apricot, caramel, and barrel notes. Its taste delivers a spicy, roasted, and barrel-forward profile with nutty and medicinal hints. Many appreciate the unique agricole-like essence, minty freshness, and long-lasting spicy finish. Some perceive it as uncharacteristic for traditional agricole, yet agree on its complexity and overall fine balance. Perfect for enthusiasts seeking a robust and flavorful rum experience, this limited edition has only 100 bottles available, marked by intriguing transitions from initial intensity to a smooth, herbal finale.

    Schöner Bielle! Intensiv und vielschichtig. Für eine Top-Bewertung könnte der Alkohol aber etwas besser eingebunden sein.

    Wunderbar typischer Bielle. Schöne aromatische Komplexität mit Holzsüsse, Kräutern, schweren Früchten…tolle Auswahl.

    Back to the best time of the year 🤤🥃 #1st advent RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: Minty, fruity, rubber, woody, roasted. Palate: Minty, rubber, caramel, black tea, roasted, woody, barrel notes, floral. Finish: long, minty, woody, barrel notes, a bit a astringency, chocolate, at the end it‘s get more floral, herbal, notes of the sugarcane = agricole like. On the palate the alcohol starts very spicy, but then it‘s gets better. I enjoyed this a lot. Just a great start👍🏻🥃 Chapeau RumX Team My Prediction: Guyana PM Approx. 50% Approx. 20 years of aging

    der erste aus dem RumX Kalender. An der Nase würzig (Muskatnuss, Piment), getrocknete Aprikose, Kräuter, Fass und Karamellsüße. Am Gaumen ziemlich kräftige, röstige Noten und irgendwie etwas medizinisches (Krankenhausflur). Guter und interessanter Bielle, aber auch noch Luft nach oben, zu den ausgezeichneten Les Rhum Vieux Abfüllungen.
