DESCRIPTION

This is a rhum vieux agricole distilled in creole column still from pure cane juice at Bielle distillery.

 

THE BRAND

In the 18th century, Jean-Pierre Bielle and his family owned a coffee plantation on the island of Marie Galante in the Guadeloupe archipelago. In 1826, after his death, two of his sons Nicolas and Maximilien, joined their forces to establish a sugar factory. Nicolas died in 1847 and in 1857, the property passed to the Espanet family company. In 1868, after its dissolution, the Espanet heirs took over the company that was sold in 1882 to Ernest Bourjac to cover their debts.

 

The distillery was founded by the end of the 19th century.

 

In 1955 the distillery was acquired by Paul Rameaux and in 1975 the control passed to the SEDB (Société d’Exploitation de la Distillerie Bielle) whose president nowadays is Dominique Thiery, the nephew of Paul. Production starts from pure cane juice. The distillery operates an old Savalle still and a bespoke still designed by Vittorio Capovilla and hand-made in Germany in the workshops of Müller.
