    "Tasted this single cask Bielle Agricole at the Sweden (Stockholm) Rumfest 2024 during an masterclass held by Excellence Rhum. It’s 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 it’s intense, elegant, fruity and spicy with flavors of butter, citrus and wood. The long finish is complex and well balanced with the flavors persisting."

    "Un Bielle équilibré. La bouche est douce, fruitée et sucrée, à la fois fraîche et à la texture gourmande. La finale est longue et plus amère, épicée et terreuse."

    "Notes prises lors du Rhum Fest 2024,
Notes rapides et palais un peu lourd, désolé :) 
On a ici : un Bielle 5 ans sur le fruit Un rhum : qui ressembler à une belle marmelade à l’orange Finale : boisée et légèrement amère Un vrai coup de cœur ! Stand au top."

    "Goûté avant son aîné de 10 ans au RhumFest. Un Bielle assez typique pour moi. La canne est encore présente. Le citron est sensible. Finale qui apporte une jolie amertume. C'est plutôt agréable mais là encore je trouve le tarif de sortie très élevé."
