8
out of 10
N- Cool mint chocolate, eucalyptus, grassy screwpine and pandan. Seasoned leather from the cask and citrus-y zest. Aged mellowing sulphur that evolved to oily scents of salted egg yolk, emerged subtly after breathing in the glass (No, I m not drunk) / (23/25)
P- Pleasantly bold and tight at just 42%, exceptional resinous dry and fine restrained raisin sweetness grace the palate. Along with scents of husky new make and green cereal. Blade-y acid lift the flavour a level up for a good return on the nose. A sense of smokes and tar. (21/25)
F- Medium-long, smooth. Waxy and spicy. Tangerine peels, grapefruits and even some lime oil. (21/25)
Balanced- Always enjoy the lifting sharpness and originality effects of agricole, and Bielle has been good for me thus far. Neat, properly aged, no deceiving label and packaging, good as it is. Great to see more of this. (22/25)
Nice light amber colour. The nose is very pastry on almond, brown sugar, citrus fruit, candied fruit. On the palate, vanilla, butter and wood are present. Not very long in the mouth. It is a rum well done but not exceptional. Real rate : 7,5
Beaux ar么mes de Rhum antillais, typiques de la maison Bielle. Un rhum sec vieilli en f没ts de bourbon et de cognac et ramen茅 脿 42% ce qui lui conf猫re une certaine l茅g猫ret茅 par rapport aux autres rhums du domaine, un peu trop 脿 mon go没t personnel, mais je con莽ois que cela peut plaire 脿 d'autres.
