Cave Guildive Bielle Marie Galante Rum 2008

Agricole fans who want fruit and softness more than raw grass will find a lot to like here. It leans citrus and vanilla with apricot jam, almonds, and a persistent toffee note several tasters keep flagging — the grassy side stays surprisingly quiet. At 55% it's still an easy sipper, dry but round, with an unusually long, astringent finish for a rum only 9 years old.

Au nez un côté végétal (rhubarbe) et agricole avec de la banane et d’autres fruits tropicaux. En bouche l’attaque est douce, puis les arômes arrivent avec du citron vert, du végétal, de l’amande amère et du caramel. La finale est belle et plutôt longue avec des fruits, du bois de cèdre et du végétal. Encore un beau rhum de l‘embouteilleur Suisse Guildive. Le verre vide il reste beaucoup de fumé et du végétal.

Nach dem ich nun doch schon den ein oder anderen Bielle im Glas hatte, finde ich das diese Abfüllung leider nicht den Anschluss geschafft hat. Hätte mir hier ein wenig mehr erwartet. Für mich ist der Rum ein wenig enttäuschend und nichts was positiv in Erinnerung bleibt.

A very nice Agricole from this bottler and I like the overall finish. A fruity Agricole with spice, nuts and fruits. Lightly dry and pretty complex for a rum only 9 years old.

Brutal Komplexer bielle, vor allem die lavendel Minze und Kiwi Schoko toffee Note flasht mich sehr!🤤 an der Nase dazu mich Eukalyptus, Feige, Toffee und Grapefruit. Recht adstringierend in Abgang aber dafür extrem vollmundig mit einem ungewöhnlich langen Abgang für so einen jungen rhum. Toll! Generell auffallend wie geil diese Toffee Note bei bielle oft eingearbeitet ist! Hammer!

Wow, der schmeckt unerwartet lecker! Natürlich nicht sehr herausfordernd, aber für einen 2008er ist es ein durchaus gelungener Bielle. Der schmeckt einfach! Dank an Mentalo für das bereichernde Sample.

I can't remember having ordered this sample. As expected, too agricoley for me but with nice herbal-medicinal notes and toffee on the nose. Quite nice on the palate at first, then it becomes too citrusy and too agricole for me.

Aprikosenmarmelade und Vanille dominieren an der Nase, aber es bleibt unverkennbar, dass es sich um ein Agricole handelt. Auch am Gaumen die fruchtigen Aprikosen-Noten mit einem leicht floralen touch.
