“The rum needs some water, otherwise it is too strong and a touch unbalanced. Sugar cane, brioche, great integrated wood maturity, tobacco. Very nice, pronounced peach notes. In the mouth complex spice bazaar. The finish is ultra great. Very nice licorice. A great, mature Bielle. Highest craftsmanship, powerful and perfectly balanced.”

“Another nice release from Bielle. Typical high quality that of course comes at a price. However the price is pretty good considering what you get. The nose is there from pouring into the glass. A lightly sweet nose with roasted coffee followed by caramel, chocolate and vanilla. There is a very light touch of raisin as well. The palate is complex and well balanced. Roasted oak noted with a light sweetness to it. Then chocolate, caramel and spices. In the lighter notes after resting I find licorice and dried fruit. There is a very light bitter note but it doesn't interfere at all. The finish has roasted oak and raisin followed by light licorice.”

“A charming Bielle that opens with an array of spices (vanilla, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, licorice and anise). The woodiness blends perfectly with notes of nuts, dried fruit, tobacco and a hint of chocolate that rounds out the whole. After aeration, candied fruits, pastry notes and sugar cane are felt, adding greediness to a profile that is both complex, deep and very pleasant. The attack on the palate is no exception to the nose, with warm and sweet spices bursting forth from the first moments. Notes of coffee, chocolate, tobacco, leather and nuts accompany a toasty sensation that sharpens the rum's profile towards a very characterful, yet very gourmet empyreumatic side. Dried fruits, peach and sugar cane bring a welcome fruity and vegetal touch to this rather dark profile. The integration of the alcohol is excellent. All the flavors work together to form a very elegant and deep blend. The finish is long, woody and spicy notes dominate the proceedings with some dried fruits, tobacco and hazelnut. No real surprise but a continuity with the rest of the profile that allows to finish on a very pleasant note. Although it is not accessible for everyone in terms of price (which could be qualified as its biggest flaw), it remains a very great rum, of an impressive richness with a perfect harmony of flavors that only Bielle has the secret. Magnificent and terribly effective.”

“Got my hands on some Bielle, and it is a nice experience. Rums from this distillery are hard to find here, or quite expensive, but I find this worth it. It is balanced, quite lot of Caramel, a bit coffee and smooth fruit to the nose. The taste is well balanced between Agricole notes, mint, wood and again some Caramel.”

“Au nez on retrouve les marqueurs de chez bielle. C’est complexe, il y a un peu de tout (boisé / épices / rondeur / fruits…) mais tout est équilibré. Un nez porté sur les fruits compotés et les fruits à coques. On retrouve un fond de cacao au nez, ainsi qu’un léger boisé et quelques épices qui enrobent le tout. L’alcool au nez est bien intégré. Il est présent mais pas trop, il met en valeur les arômes et s’équilibre parfaitement avec. Après aération, le nez dévoile de belles notes rondes de vanille ainsi qu’un léger caramel. En bouche, l’alcool est bien intégré. Épices qui se mettent sur un fond de rondeur et de notes grillées/torréfiées. La finale on y ressent un peu plus l’alcool, on a un petit « chaud ». On y retrouve plus la rondeur du nez sur un fond épicé/boisé.”

“Aus gegeben Anlass 😉habe ich mir paar Tastings mit Agricole aus Martinique, Guadeloupe und Marie Galante vorgenommen. Heute ist Bielle dran. Trotz gleichem ABV schmeckt er stärker aks der Rasta Morris RX7116, aber im angenehmen Sinn. Auch fruchtiger in der Nase und am Gaumen. Toller Agricole!”

“Wieder eine schöne Bielle Abfüllung, auch wenn der Preis achon ganz schön heftig erscheint. Den hab ich bei der Bewertung mal ein Stück weit außen vorgelassen. Nase: Kräuter, etwas Minze, Eukalyptus, viel Eiche, Vanille, Bourbon typisch, etwas Zitrone. Mund: Toller, richtig kräftiger Antritt, erinnert teilweise an die 8 jährige Bielle Rumclub Abfüllung, kräuterig, extrem langer Abgang, Kein Schnapper, ein Sample ist aber absolut lohnenswert. Gerade wenn man auch andere Bielle Abfüllungen mag.”

“Schöner Bielle mit guter Mischung aus Holz, grasigen Noten und Gewürzen. Kein Stand-Out in meiner Wahrnehmung, aber ein sehr gut gemachter Agricole.”

“Al naso è intenso e avvolgente con note leggere di solvente, caffè, cioccolato, torbato Al gusto è caldo e avvolgente con note sopratutto di datteri, poi caffè, fiori e spezie, un'ottima rotondità e un finale persistente che ti coccola la bocca, sembra quasi un solera con una lontanissima nota amara. Nel bicchiere vuoto legno delicato”
