The Bielle Premium Ambre Marie Galante 45% 700ml is a remarkable rum with a unique profile, characterized by its harmonious blend of wood, spices, and plants. This agricultural rum is produced by the Bielle Distillery, which values traditional methods, sourcing sugar cane using oxen-drawn plows and employing artisanal manufacturing processes.
The rum offers a soft and velvety entry, followed by an intense woody wave that is polished and delicate, with a very green aspect. The candied cane is perfectly at home in this environment, spreading out in spices and even in liquorice or anise, like a concentrated vesou. It has a rather vegetal and delicate entry, with herbaceous notes that are very round and mellow. The wood mingles with them discreetly, forming a spiced nougat-like character. Tonka, pepper, and aromatic herbs form a very original and green bouquet.
With aging in new oak barrels, the rum acquires notes of pain chaud brioche and vanilla, with coppery reflections. Its aging process involves two stages: initially in oak barrels for a year, followed by aging in small foudres until bottling. This contact with the wood gives it a beautiful amber color and a great softness and delicacy.
The double distillation process allows for the refinement of the product by separating the heads and tails, as well as the yeast, to retain only the heart of the distillation. This results in a rum with a mellow yet intense character, with freshness and a slightly acidulated sweetness. Bielle has demonstrated its mastery of rum-making with this premium ambre rum, which is a testament to the distillery's commitment to traditional methods and values.
On the nose, it's immediately a beautiful delicacy, with caramelized brown sugar coming out of the glass, and a little vanilla. There are also aromas of cane, but it is candied here, really well sweetened. An elegant, honeyed, increasingly fruity woodiness develops, very soft, almost aged. There's a good intensity that takes hold of the nose, reminiscent of caramelized and flambeed apples, with the vanilla coming back in force, or a brioche raisin bread. It's intoxicating.
On the palate, it is both sweet and unctuous, with candied fruits and spices at first, followed by a lovely caramelized woodiness that lands squarely behind to fade gently to notes of vanilla, coffee, and chocolate. Very greedy, it captures everything we experienced on the nose, it's a real dessert in itself. One comes to wonder how it is possible to have so much flavor and sugar felt for an agricultural rum, with 0 grams of added sugar. It's so good.
The finish is on oak that exhibits maturity beyond its age, drier on the palate with sweet cinnamon and musk spice. It is long for an amber rum, revealing its true character. An amber rum that really has the character of an aged rum. Fabulous.
