The Bielle 2001 Rhum Agricole LMDW Selection Cask #2 is a remarkable 14-year-old, cask strength rum, distilled from sugar cane juice at the esteemed Bielle distillery, situated on the picturesque island of Marie-Galante. This small island is renowned for its high-quality rum production, and this particular release is no exception. Bottled at a potent 53.7% ABV, this limited edition rum, with only 229 bottles available, presents a complex tapestry of aromas and flavors.
On the nose, one can discern a rich bouquet of cinnamon, dried fruit, vanilla, honey, and roasted notes, interlaced with a subtle hint of banana. The palate is a masterful blend of vanilla, oak, citrus, lime, and roasted flavors, with delicate floral undertones. The finish is long and luxurious, offering lingering notes of raisin, spice, caramel, dried fruit, oak, and milk chocolate.
The Bielle distillery, which dates back to the 19th century, is perched on a plateau of Marie-Galante, where high-quality sugar cane is cultivated both within the domaine and by partnering farmers. The rum was aged in ex-bourbon casks, absorbing the tropical heat of the island, and no water was added during the bottling process, thus preserving its original strength and nuanced flavor profile.
This exceptional rum is celebrated for its balance and intensity, with perfectly integrated alcohol, creating an immersive and memorable tasting experience. It boasts an animalistic note and bears the hallmark of tropical aging, making it a unique choice for rum connoisseurs. The Bielle 2001 Single Cask, cask #2, is part of twelve casks meticulously selected by La Maison du Whisky, highlighting the distillery's dedication to preserving the island's rich rum-making heritage, once known as 'the island of a hundred windmills.'
Whether enjoyed daily or reserved for special occasions, the Bielle 2001 Rhum Agricole LMDW Selection Cask #2 offers an elegant intensity and refined quality, making it worth every penny for its unparalleled and unforgettable tasting journey. Allow its intricate flavors to transport you to the tropical paradise of Marie-Galante.
