A great stop for an initiation into the wonderful rums of Marie-Galante. Of 3 distilleries on the island, Bielle is the most popular, but for good reason - their rums have been winning honors since the mid-nineties. Theirs is also one of the most potent, clocking in a whopping 59 proof, but you wouldn't know it -this stuff is smooth. We briefly toured around the grounds, checking out the machinery used in the processing and distilling of the cane syrup - there are a smattering of information panels in french only, but the process is the same in all the distilleries - if you've seen one, you;ll understand them all. But really, we're here for the rum, so we wandered over to the tasting counter. We went through the whole range, white and dark, aged and oaked, flavoured and fruity. We really enjoyed a 40th anniversary aged dark rum, which was smooth and rich, and I had a soft spot for the Shrubb, an orange peel-flavoured rum liqueur, specialty of Guadeloupe and great for around the holidays. We filled up the trunk of our rental car with bottles. Important to remember: One, this is a working rum distillery, not a museum, so don't expect a museum - just enjoy the tasty, tasty rum. Two, make sure to stop by the small tables at the entrance to the parking, set up by some of the local women. They make some of the most delicious local treats you will find, and for good prices, too. Look for the hot fish-filled pastries(they also have coconut ones and pumpkin ones) and the molasses-spice cacaboeuf cookies, named as such because they really do resemble a cow patty!
