Crafted in 2011 at Guadeloupe's esteemed Distillerie Bielle, this 500ml bottle of four-year-old Bielle Vieux Agricole Rum embodies a rich heritage of traditional rum-making. Distilled from freshly-pressed sugar cane juice and matured in oak casks, this 42% ABV rum represents a harmonious blend of tropical complexity and subtle elegance. After being aged for five years in Bourbon casks on the picturesque island of Marie-Galante, often referred to as the "Island of a Hundred Mills," this rum showcases intricate layers of flavor and aroma.
On the nose, it presents delightful scents of brown sugar, oak, and baking spices, interspersed with hints of banana and tropical fruits. The palate follows with a slightly bitter, yet alcoholic sharpness, balanced by spicy notes and the sweetness of sugarcane. The flavor journey culminates in a somewhat short but impactful finish characterized by woody oak, caramelized banana, green pepper, and a touch of nougat. The overall profile is a testament to its complexity, marrying tropical fruitiness with spicy and sweet undertones, all underscored by a warm alcoholic presence and hints of oak and spice.
