    "Expressive Bielle, whose longer maturation is clearly noticeable compared to the younger bottlings. Concise wood and spicy notes, plus somewhat heavy stone fruit and citrus aromas. A little more of the heavy fruitiness that the nose still promises could have made it to the palate to provide a more active counterpart to the barrel influence - but even so, it remains a great rum."

    "Ein sehr komplexer intensiver Agricole! Ich bin begeistert , Agricole in Fassstärke passt einfach Heute erneut verkostet: Ein schier unglaublicher guter Agricole, von derNase bis zum Abgang voller Aromen, sehr komplex. Die Holznote ist meines Erachtens perfekt integriert!"

    "Wohl einer der besten bielles aller Zeiten. Unfassbar elegant, intensiv nach Nougat, Minze, Eukalyptustee und Honig und nicht zu viel Holz. Wahnsinn! Für mich wohl einer der besten Bielles die ich jemals verkosten durfte."

    "This is a retaste for me and I stick to my initial score. It matches the other 2001 released and it's very close to the Danish release by Juuls. Fruity and floral at the same time. Very well balanced Agricole notes and the ABV is very well integrated. A rare bottle and if you get the chance and you love Agricole you should give this one a go."
