Bielle Brut de Colonne 2019
Fans love the explosive fresh cane, citrus and vegetal profile with impressive balance for 71%. Critics find it brutal, anise-heavy and tiring. Consensus: a characterful, demanding brut de colonne.
Seasoned agricole fans who enjoy ultra-fresh sugarcane, citrus, floral and anise notes at near still strength, and like to play with dilution or mix serious Ti’ Punchs.

How does this rum taste?
Brutal but brilliant fresh-cane powerhouse
If you already like Bielle blancs or other Marie-Galante bruts, this is a logical next step: same fresh cane precision, just cranked up to 71% with more impact and detail.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV, or those who dislike herbal/anise/licorice notes and the dry, vegetal side of agricole blancs.
Small disappointment for this raw column from Bielle, we expected more!

Hard to describe. Reminds me somehow of sambuca or ouzo because of the licorice and anise / fennel notes. Overall rather sweet salty and slightly bitter. Alcohol is not particularly disturbing but the basic flavor is just not my thing. In ti punch then something like pear and fig comes to the fore, as well as salty peanuts. Quite nice but I do not have to have again.

Superb balance: you can feel the degrees and the power, but the vegetal side comes out perfectly and wraps everything in freshness. For me, this is still the best value for money for a brut de collone on Marie Galante and even Guadeloupe.
Auto-translatedGreedy and not aggressive nose in spite of the 71.2% on the counter! We find obviously fresh sugar cane. But also vegetable notes, green apple and lemon. In mouth, it is rum, real, intense. Of the cane which explodes in mouth, it is ample and very vegetable. It is incredible elegance and precision for such a concentration. The fresh cane unfolds and melts in the mouth with a slightly smoky side. It is fresh and spicy. It does not leave you indifferent. We like it but we plunge our lips into it only very slowly because of the guy! The finish is long.
