"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."

"Un Bielle au profil versatile et opulent, qui opĂšre avec brio sa finition intĂ©grale en fĂ»t de sherry. Le nez retranscrit les codes de la maison : un fruitĂ© riche, sur les fruits secs (pruneau), les fruits jaunes (pĂȘche), les fruits exotiques et les agrumes confits, accompagnĂ©s par des notes pĂątissiĂšres sur le nougat pour une rondeur optimale. Les Ă©pices douces, le tabac et le boisĂ© toastĂ© sont Ă©galement prĂ©sent pour soutenir la complexitĂ© olfactive. Lâattaque en bouche se dĂ©marque par un magnifique fruitĂ© qui part sur la groseille, la cerise, le pruneau mais aussi la mirabelle et les fruits confits. Le cĂŽtĂ© doux et mielleux se frotte aux notes plus vĂ©gĂ©tales et agricoles qui partent vers la camomille et le thym. Le fĂ»t de sherry fait son effet avec les Ă©pices et le boisĂ©. Lâalcool est trĂšs bien intĂ©grĂ©. La finale est de bonne longueur, laissant planer en bouche les tanins, le cĂŽtĂ© agricole et le fĂ»t de sherry. On retrouve les Ă©pices (piment, vanille, muscade), les noix et les fruits secs (raisin) avec le caramel et les notes toastĂ©es. Une cuvĂ©e gourmande et expressive, mais Ă un prix Ă©levĂ© (mĂȘme si cela reste relativement bas pour les standards de la rĂ©gion et pour cet Ăąge)."
"Notes prises lors du Rhum Fest 2024,âšNotes rapides et palais un peu lourd, dĂ©solĂ© :) âšOn a ici : une vraie rĂ©ussite, Un rhum : Ă©quilibrĂ©; puissant, qui a gardĂ© un peu de son cĂŽtĂ© agricole Finale : une belle longueur supĂ©rieure au 515 sur le fut de PX ?"
