The Bielle 2008 Vieux Agricole Guadeloupe 8yo 48% rum is a delightful and exceptional product from the esteemed Bielle distillery, located on the picturesque island of Marie Galante, Guadeloupe. Distilled in 2008 from fresh sugar cane juice using a Column Still, this rum showcases a rich and aromatic blend of citrus, sugarcane, tropical fruit, woody, and caramel notes. After being aged for 8 years, it was bottled in 2016 with an ABV of 48%, offering an exquisite balance between intensity and smoothness.
Upon first impression, the nose is powerful yet not overpowering, exuding a refreshing fruity scent intertwined with a subtle hint of varnish. With some aeration, the rum reveals a more serious character, losing a bit of its initial freshness but gaining in elegance. The palate is a symphony of flavors including citrus, agricole, tropical fruit, orange, and licorice. The finish is both gourmet and fruity, leaving a lasting impression of the various fruits encountered along the way.
Highly praised by the RumX community, this rum is celebrated for its beautiful Bielle characteristics, unique caramel notes, exceptional tropical fruit flavors, and interesting Agricole influence. It embodies the essence of a well-crafted spirit, making it a must-have for any rum enthusiast.
