Bielle LMDW 2001
Fourteen tropical years turned this Marie-Galante agricole into something you wouldn't expect from cane juice: toffee-honey sweetness, roasted oak and dried fruit sitting next to grassy, eucalyptus and lime notes. One taster called it a "tropical Caroni without tar and rubber." The 53.7% is buried so well you barely feel it. Dense, concentrated and genuinely demanding — several agreed it's nothing to sip absent-mindedly.
The community says- Perfect ABV integration
- Complex and layered
- But: Slightly bitter oak

How does Bielle LMDW 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Dense, complex Marie-Galante agricole to study A widely loved Bielle single cask — complex, layered and beautifully balanced, with the alcohol perfectly integrated. A couple of tasters found a slight bitter, over-woody edge; most were won over.

Review by Jakob
The 2001 Bielle Single Casks impress with their impressive aromas, which combine heavy dark fruits, floral notes, a balanced wood influence and subtle spicy aromas. The complexity is impressive and the flavor profiles are wonderfully balanced. With their heavy fruitiness and subtle cola notes, the releases are somewhat reminiscent of Damoiseau - this cask #2 stands out once again thanks to the very harmonious overall picture in the already very impressive field of other 2001 single cask releases. An absolutely outstanding release, which surprisingly lived a rather shadowy existence for a long time, but is now receiving the recognition it deserves. Excellent!

Some may say this is an expensive rum but once you had a meeting with it I'm pretty sure you're going to change your mind. A super rum Agricole worth every penny. After resting for. Awhile the nose reveals roasted oak with nice fruits and spices. There is a bit of honey and very light grass notes as well. A very intense but nice array of flavours. The palate is a wonder of intensity and complexity as well as being very well balanced. The ABV is perfectly integrated and you barely feel it. Again lightly roasted oak with fruits and spices as well as a hint of caramel and chocolate. The finish is løng with oak and spices topped off with a touch of raisin. Wonderful rum indeed.
Review by Joachim Guger
Nutty, banana, dried fruit and polish. Animal. Alcohol well integrated, powerful. Very complex and balanced nose. Smells like a tropical aged Caroni without tar and rubber. Beautiful! In the mouth citrus and honey. Sparkling and powerful. Very good rum with a pronounced animal note. I would have hardly recognized Bielle. Quite a bit better than #4.
Review by Thunderbird
Bielle Tasting 2001 Nr. 4 Diese Abfüllung ist deutlicher Richtung Agricole und die pflanzlichen Aromen setzen sich besonders im Abgang ziemlich deutlich durch. Am Gaumen sind zudem Kaffee, getrockneteFrüchte, Schokolade und Fass wahrnehmbar. Diese Bielle sind alle einfach unfassbar gut
Review by Timo Groeger
Weiter gehts mit Daniel's geiler Teilung. Hier stimme ich auch mit ihm überein, auch dieser ist mir zu bitter, dadurch kommt die Röstigkeit und Würzigkeit leider nicht so zur Geltung. Karamell und Vanille sind dezent erkennbar.
Review by Frank
Oh wow, what a complex, beautiful rum. The 14 tropical years of maturation have given it a multi-layered palette of aromas. Nose: An insanely great blend of creamy toffee-honey sweetness, spicy wood aromas, fresh grassy notes with medicinal hints and sweet-tart fruitiness. Initially soft banana with honey. Alongside this, soft liquorice and a medicinal, fine salt note. Somehow goes well with the vanilla cream toffee. Could smell it forever. 9,3 Palate: here it goes strongly in the direction of Agricole. Woody, salty and grassy, with camomile and a clear eucalyptus note at the beginning. Also liquorice and lime. Has a slightly metallic effect. If it had the even softer and sweeter aromas of the nose, it would be lengths better. 8,5
Review by Skyfly
Rhum Bielle LMDW 2001 X-Tasting: Ein einzigartiges Set welches Daniel hier ausgegraben hat. Mit zunehmender Zeit wird dieser Rum immer komplexer, die Aromen intensiver. Man kann gefühlt ewig an dem Glas sitzen und entdeckt neue Aromen! Alkohol wirklich perfekt eingebracht!

Großes Bielle 2001 Cross-Tasting: auf jeden Fall einer der besseren!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
"Großes Bielle 2001 Cross-Tasting": und erneut ist diese nur in manchen Fässern scheinbar aufkommende "fleischige" rauchige vergorene Note da. Sie geht auch durch Standzeit wieder weg und ist nicht zu dominant aber sie ist da😄 ergänzt hier allerdings aromatisch von Eukalyptus, Salzkaramell, Limettenschale und Kaffirlimettenblättern und einer sehr ölig wirkenden Süße die an einen Fish house punch cocktail erinnert (Schwarztee+ Pfirsich + arrack+ rum + Muskatnuss + Zitrone). Extrem dicht, konzentriert und komplex auf jeden Fall und insgesamt auch wirklich lecker und der bisher gefühlt längste Abgang. Allerdings halt auch echt sehr fordernd und nix für nebenher... Die Qualität ist so oder so extrem hoch!
Review by Banana Joe
Epic BIELLE 2001 Tasting. Ein toller Jahrgang, das Set war durchweg von hoher Qualität. Einzig RX5741 und RX4918 waren mir eine Spur zu holzig/bitter. Es gab auch einen eindeutigen Sieger, das Fass welches Kirsch ausgewählt hat war für mich das intensivste, harmonischste. Hier war eine perfekte Mischung aus Holz,Frucht und Gewürzen. Der Blend ist auch toll, aber mit 45% leidet etwas schwach am Gaumen. Insgesamt glaube ich das hochwertigste Set was ich verkostet habe und wird man glaube ich so nie wieder bekommen.
Review by Jarek
Wow, a very tasty Agricole. Fruity and spicy on the nose, with hints of the typical floral Agricole notes. This continues on the palate, with the grassy notes now becoming stronger. Long, spicy finish. The last 1cl for a final tasting...
Review by Buddudharma
Danke Daniel für diesen Killer-Split! Alle Rums scheinen auf sehr hohem Niveau zu sein. Ich schmecke etwas Frucht, v.a. Orange, Tannine und Gewürze vom Fass, sehr leichte Grasigkeit des Agricole sowie einen Hauch Minze. Das Ganze ist eher trocken, mit geringer Süße, was jedoch nicht stört. In Summe erinnert das Profil etwas an alte Armagnacs, im positiven Sinn. Alkoholintegration ist großartig. Für mich das beste der drei verkosteten Fässer, da etwas pointierter und ausgewogener in den Aromen.
