Bielle Brut de Fût 2012

Cand, hon, p, and a signature Bielle pepper on the finish — this 8-year agricole from Marie-Galante splits nicely between fruit and spice. Several tasters find it doux for a cask-strength pour, with vanilla and honey rounding out the wood. A couple feel the pepper and oak crowd out the grassy cane, but most call it a fine French-Antilles agricole.

The community says
  • Balanced fruit & spice
  • Well-integrated alcohol
  • Pepper can dominate

The two years of ageing have done a lot of good to this Bielle which gains in complexity until it approaches a good AOC Martinique rum while keeping this shower of sweetness proper to the house.

Le nez est très porté sur les fruits confits. Le nez est envouteur avec une belle fraicheur et des épices en pagailles. La note de réglisse propre à Bielle est là mais moins présentes que d’accoutumé. En bouche, malgré que ce soit un BDF, c’est doux. Le boisé est présent avec délicatesse. C’est fruité et agréable. On a droit à une belle longueur vanillée-réglisse. C’est très harmonieux et un digne représentant de ce que sont de bons et beaux rhums agricoles des Antilles françaises ! 2012 avait été une année exceptionnelle en termes de récoltes de canne, et Bielle a réussi son pari !

Super des fruits confits, du fruits secs, du miel, du tabac génial ! Les fûts de vins blancs moelleux apportent une sacré texture digne de très vieux armagnac !

Další velmi sympatický zástupce bielle, tentokrát z roku 2012. Máta, koření a šťáva na nose, chuť je velmi komplexní a za mě je to parádni agricole s perfektně integrovaným alkoholem. Závěr spíše krátší. Moc hezké.

BDF 2012 Le millésime 2012 a la particularité d'avoir 2 versions soutirées en 2018 et 2020 : 54,8° - 53,8° et 53,7% Vieilli 6 et 8 ans en fût de chêne Bourbon et vin blanc moelleux prestigieux (Yquem) et toujours sans filtration. Nez : Je trouve un côté orange confite, mentholé et poivré sur un filet de bois. Bouche : L'alcool est parfaitement intégré. Un côté mielleux et mentholé arrivent tout de suite puis sur la fin je trouve des épices. Un belle longueur pour la finale.

Too much spice and wood... It remains a very appreciable 8 years old but not my thing
