Velier Bielle Rhum Rhum Libération 2020
Banana, apricot, and vanilla; lighter but pleasantly easygoing.
A relaxed, fruit-driven Agricole with appealing apricot and vanilla notes, but considered thinner and less complex by some compared to previous years. One to try if you enjoy softer rums with grassy undertones.

How does this rum taste?
Rhum Rhum Libération 2020 opens with fruit-forward aromas led by banana, dried apricot, and a distinct presence of vanilla, followed by soft woody notes. Several RumX members described the rum as having an "Excellent Guadeloupeen" character (@Jeremy C) and noted its easy-drinking nature, though some found it noticeably softer in body at 45%. On the palate, vanilla and grassy tones mix with mild pepper and wood. While the nose is praised for being "very fruity with banana and dried apricot" (@mto75), others commented that it feels "leicht wässrig" (@Joachim Guger) and misses some of the depth found in earlier editions.

It needs a good oxygenation time to show its potential! In this reduced-degree version the citrus and fruit scents stand out much more, with a very pleasant sugarcane garnish! Wood integrated quite well and some mouthwatering notes accompanying the whole tasting!
Grosse déception, Profil aromatique faible. Nez un peu épicé et boisé, on retrouve une note de fruit confit et de fruit séché mais c’est pauvre. En bouche rien. Un peu de vous, un peu de vanille, 3 secondes et puis plus rien. Une sensation de chaud reste et un côté asséchant. On dirait qu’il a été réduit à la va-vite avec de l’eau déminéralisé, sans qu’aucun soin ni soit apporté. Dommage.
Dried apricots, bananas, almonds. Slightly watery in the mouth, but very drinkable. Great Agricole, clearly reminds me of the 2012.
Relaxed Rhum Rhum. Does not quite come up to its excellent predecessors.
