Bielle Brut de Fût 2012
"Good and balanced, but not exceptional" is how one member sums it up, and that's fair. This 6-year Bielle from Marie-Galante gives you fresh cane grass and oak up front, then honey, vanilla, apricot and a little chocolate. Several tasters love it; a couple find it slightly flat and linear, with the cask-strength alcohol not always fully tucked in.

Most helpful positive review
To start off, this is a very good Agricoles of you look at the price tag and quality. The nose starts off hard with grass and oak and then you get sweet honey notes mixed with fruit and a pinch of vanilla. A typical Agricole range of flavours. The palate continues where the nose left off. Lightly sweet honey with grass and oak, this is followed by fruits, vanilla and chocolate. A complex and well balanced rum. The finish is medium long with smoky oak, vanilla and raisin.

Manque d’équilibre. Alcool très présent/arômes.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow der ist echt gut. In der Nase haben wir hier eine schöne Mischung aus Holz und Gewürzen (viel Vanille). Am Gaumen auch holzig und würzig, speziell hervorzuheben sind Vanille und Karamell. Alkohol spürt man kaum.
Review by TheJackDrop
Au risque de passer pour un hérétique… c’est très bon pour un agricole de 6 ans, mais c’est un peu plat... Vanille, fruits secs, coing, boisé, peut être un peu de chocolat au lait.. la canne fraîche ravive un peu la flamme en milieu de bouche. Je pense que j’en attendais un peu plus quand même. Finale moyennement longue.
