The Bielle 2014 Vieux Agricole Brut de Fut Batch 3 is a 7-year-old agricultural rum distilled in a Savalle column at the Bielle Distillery on the island of Marie-Galante in Guadeloupe, famously known as "the island of a hundred mills". This third batch, bottled in 2021, boasts an ABV of 57.4% and is crafted from fresh sugarcane juice.
Upon tasting, the rum reveals a round and oily texture that gently coats the palate. It initially presents an explosion of sweet fruit flavors, including apricots, grapes, and green mango, which add a touch of acidity and balance the sweetness. The fruit juices gradually evolve into jam-like notes, while fresh cane juice and spices make a brief appearance, resulting in a harmonious and well-balanced profile.
The 2014 vintage is renowned for its powerful, earthy nose and ripe, almost dried fruit flavors. The palate is intensely fruity, and the finish is similar to that of Batch 2, but with a touch more freshness. Compared to the previous batches, Batch 3 is sweeter and more candied, with a particularly oily texture, though it has lost some of the freshness of earlier releases.
Overall, the Bielle 2014 Vieux Agricole Brut de Fut Batch 3 is a well-crafted rum that offers a complex and enjoyable tasting experience, striking a perfect balance between sweetness, fruitiness, and spice. Whether you're a seasoned rum enthusiast or a newcomer to agricole rums, this bottle promises a vibrant and multifaceted adventure.
