Velier Bielle Rhum Rhum Libération 2020

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.

7.9  / 10  (56 reviews)

Banana, apricot, and vanilla; lighter but pleasantly easygoing.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Fruit-forward with banana and dried apricot
    • Vanilla banane amande tres présents
    • Erinnert mich klar an den 2012

    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!"

    "Relaxed Rhum Rhum. Does not quite come up to its excellent predecessors."

    "Nose mild, fruity and sweet. Besides an elusive note - possibly "earthy"?on the palate it reminds me fleetingly of Highland whiskey. The earthy note is also present here, a bit like wet musty wood.The medium-long finish brings no surprise and remains predominantly on the woody side. Does not belong to the varieties of rum that I prefer."

    "Dried apricots, bananas, almonds. Slightly watery in the mouth, but very drinkable. Great Agricole, clearly reminds me of the 2012."
