J. Bally Brut de Fût (Kirsch Whisky) 2009
Highly praised cask‑strength Bally: intense woody spice, dried red fruits and dry tannins. Complex, characterful agricole that rewards time and focus, but clearly not an easy sipper for beginners.
Superb nose, very rich in red fruits, mainly cherry and dried plums with wood. Taste is spicier and drier with a light acidic bite.Read more
Seasoned agricole fans and high‑ABV lovers who enjoy dry, woody, spicy profiles with dark dried fruits and aren’t afraid to work through a concentrated, tannic palate.

How does J. Bally Brut de Fût (Kirsch Whisky) 2009 taste?
Intense, dry and powerfully woody Bally
If you enjoy powerful Bally or other cask‑strength agricoles, this pushes the woody, spicy, dried‑fruit side hard and really rewards slow sipping and patience.
Beginners, those sensitive to 62% ABV, or drinkers who prefer soft, sweet rums over dry, woody and slightly bitter agricole character.

Auto-translated#5849 11.10.2025 Visiting the Whisky Live Hamburg 2025 event. It was the first of its kind and went off pretty well. They still have to learn a lot about running an event like this. People were allowed to bring backpacks and even cabin bags to the event and that is a problem in my mind. This is a very nice and spicy release. Compared to the WDC release this one has far more power and spiciness. The minerality is also lower. I'd say it's not for everyone.
Probiert auf der 1. Whisky Live Germany und jetzt noch mal in Ruhe als Sample. Nase: voluminös, intensiv und vollmundig. Sehr holzig-würzig. Alte Eiche und Sandelholz mit viel süßem, braunen Karamell. Muskat mit Lakritz, dazu Backgewürz und Brotteig. Edler, alter Rotwein mit Bourbon. Auch fruchtig ist er, mit getrockneter Blutorange und säuerlich-süßer getrockneter schwarzer Johannisbeere. Eine wundervolle Nase. 8,8 Gaumen: Bally-typisch sehr auf der holzig-würzigen Seite. Intensiv und kräftig. Wie in der Nase alte Eiche und Sandelholz. Zu Beginn salzig-pfefferig, leicht bitter, mit Holzsäure, Muskat und einem Hauch Anis. Dahinter säuerlich-fruchtig, wieder getrocknete Blutorange und getrocknete schwarze Johannisbeere. Doch eher trocken und leicht adstringent. 8,4 Kräftiger, holziger Agricole, der etwas Zeit und Ruhe braucht, sehr aromatisch aber nichts für nebenbei.
Auto-translated8,7:On the nose, dried currants, roasted wood notes, peppery, like toffee, dark chocolate, glue and polish, cherry, flowery sugarcane, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, dried fruits like apricots, raisins and prunes arise, citrus hints, roasted nuts, walnuts and some confectionery.The mood is 'dark'.😄 8,4;On the palate, the attack is slightly imbalanced, intense with spices and roasted wood notes like walnuts, leather, cocoa, some juniper perhaps, later coffee, dry&tannic, some rubber pops out, fruity with prunes, dried currants, grapes and cherries.Cognac barrel impact is strong.The sugarcane is flowery and mineral....Some bitterness crawls in on oxidation. 8,5;The finish is long, dry and tannic, oaky, more balanced as the palate, as the same notes linger on for a long time..
