Bielle 2008 Rum (70cl, 48%)

The Bielle distillery has been producing rums since 1910 from a territory where cane monoculture dominates. This rum comes from a unique terroir rich in rural traditions and is made from vesou, a pure cane juice extracted from manually cut fresh cane stems. It may be bottled as white rum or put in barrels for ageing. The nose has slightly woody notes of saffron and honey. The palate brings gingerbread followed by candied fruit, and the finish has nice length on liquorice and honey.
