    How does this rum taste?

    The 515 Collection (10th Anniversary) is an exclusive rum distilled at the Bielle distillery, Marie Galante, and bottled by Excellence Rhum. Distilled in 2017 from sugarcane juice and column still, it aged for 5 years before release at 57.6% ABV. Its aromatic profile features rich vanilla and honey with hints of minty freshness and citrus zest. On the palate, flavors include luscious honey, bitter orange, and woody notes, culminating in a spicy finish. Users highlight its elegance and harmonious blend but find its release price steep for the age.

    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.

    Sugar cane, honey, fresh herbs, no doubt about it, this is a Bielle! Unlike some of its overly sweet brothers, with aromas of anise, thyme and licorice, I find this one more balanced and interesting, thanks to lemon zest, green pepper and ginger. The finish seems older, with darker aromas, a little bitterness and an earthy edge. Original finish, but not too much for my taste.

    Schöne Facetten eines noch recht jungen Rhum Agricole, der feine Eichenholz Aromen sein Eigen nennt, aber auch überraschend fruchtig und süß ist.
