« Mika and Gaston travelled to the RVMG warehouse to select two exceptional casks for the Facebook group : Passion Rhums Bielle, carefully pre-selected by Jérôme Thiery and Jacques Larrent. These choices perfectly reflect the authenticity and know-how of the island. »

Colour: Soft chestnut

Nose: As soon as it opens, a minty freshness mingles with the sweetness of liquorice and the richness of freshly cut cane. Subtle notes of marzipan and salted butter caramel enhance the bouquet, while aromas of ripe pineapple and candied orange peel add an exquisite fruity dimension.

Palate: The attack is round and warm, revealing a syrupy texture that envelops the palate. Exotic fruits such as pineapple and well-ripe mango harmonise with hints of nuts and oily notes of wood, enhanced by delicately sweet liquorice. The flavours evolve towards candied fruit and orangettes, offering remarkable depth and complexity.

Finish: Persistent and oily, the finish begins with notes of dark chocolate and continues with a hint of menthol, leaving a lasting, elegant impression.

Conclusion: This 2012 vintage embodies the excellence of Bielle's expertise, offering an unforgettable tasting experience that will seduce rum enthusiasts looking for authentic and refined discoveries.
