BIELLE - Brut de cask 2016 - Withdrawn 2023 - 54.2%
The Bielle distillery is located on the island of Marie-Galante , in the West Indies . In 1769, Jean-Pierre Bielle grew coffee on this island and later, in 1826, his sons joined forces to create a refinery-sugar factory on 53 hectares. Thus, the production of rum at the Domaine only began at the beginning of the 20th century. After the Second World War, the property was abandoned and then bought by Paul Rameaux in 1955. In 1975, the property, the residential house and the distillery were taken over by SEDB (Société d'Exploitation de la Distillerie Connecting rod) . Today, the Bielle distillery is one of the most renowned in the Antilles. The sugar cane comes from small local producers . The cane juice, obtained with two mills, is fermented for 48 hours before being distilled by three stainless steel Savalle columns .
This 7-year -old rum comes from a selection of ex-Bourbon barrels and fine-grained oak barrels. Distilled in 2016 , it is bottled at cask strength, without reduction in 2023 .
