    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this Bielle selection for its remarkably integrated 75.2% ABV and honeyed yellow fruits. Apricot and peach meet a well-embedded wine-cask note and light mineral hints, leading to an oily, warming, slightly peppery finish. Reviewers often enjoy it neat or with minimal water. With 16 community reviews and just 137 bottles, it’s a distinctive release many call uniquely characterful.

    Exceptional rum. Blindly, I would never have guessed an agricole. I don't sense any grassy notes. The 6 years in the wine barrel have done a great (very good!) job here. I start salivating as soon as I smell it - a very good, incorruptible sign. Really ZERO alcohol noticeable on the nose. The palate is then dominated by honey and "Nimm Zwei" sweets. An ultra-long, tingling finish rounds off this delight. I give the rum at least 90 points without hesitation. It could have been 1-2 points higher if it had been even more powerful on the palate. Yes, really, for me it could have had even more pushing alcohol power. Although even as it is, it can be compared less to a disdainful four-cylinder than to a roaring V8 that brutally pushes you into your seat when you step on the gas. In other words, the rum is dense and heavy on the palate and pushes and shoves fantastically, without being fizzy or sharp-edged. The rum is also wonderfully oily and sweet and absolutely unique. I've never had anything like it in a glass. I had to buy two bottles - and I haven't done that for a long time. I highly recommend trying this marvel. But very important: don't dilute it, the rum immediately loses its magic. You'll have fun, trust me! 😊 Update 2025-07-31: Before buying the penultimate bottle available at Rum Depot (no, there won't be any more on the GRF either!), I tasted it again extensively and came to the conclusion that my previous rating of 90 points simply doesn't do justice to this stroke of genius due to the undeniably delicious honey note and the unearthly alcohol integration. So with a clear conscience, up to a whopping 93 points. 😍

    So, I have this supposed drink of the gods 😉 in my glass. It's really very impressive on the nose. Yellow fruit, honey and peach .... But no trace of Agricole either. Then the full force on the palate. First a brief sweetness, then the alcohol tingles powerfully on the tongue and slightly numbs the taste buds. This is followed by allspice, roastiness and, late on, peach and the first signs of green. The finish gradually reveals the typical agricole aromas and is quite long. I don't think it's really first-class, I've had much better ones in my glass. But as is so often the case, it's purely a matter of taste. I definitely don't need a bottle of this.

    Nose: aged grappa, alcohol noticeable, no honey but honey wine (mead), very intense, nutmeg Palate: alcohol, alcohol and alcohol, grappa again, it gets more interesting after about 5-10 seconds when the alcohol stops biting. But then I'm already as good as in the aftertaste, hmm, I'll have to try again later with water. When the palate has got used to it after the 3rd or 4th sip, the alcohol is no longer so oppressive. Lots of wood, slightly bitter. Finish: very long but mainly bitter / oak. Hmm, I'm undecided and since I generally have my difficulties with agricole, this Bielle rum and the euphoric reviews remain a mystery to me. Despite this, a very good, very intense rum with a strong focus on agricole, should have been aged longer from my amateurish point of view.
