"I love Bally and have a lot of them on my shelves. This particular one is just up there with the best. A very floral release compared to the other releases from Bally. We'll rounded and fruity with spices and chocolate as well as a hint of coffee. Price to quality at release was really good 😊"

"RumX Advent Calendar, 2.12., blind. Had the already times to 30.3.20 in the glass. First impression: the must have a sherry finish. This impression has lasted a long time, only after 1h was the perceived sherry nose gone and it came through a bit Agricole... Nose: powerfully aromatic and complex, tobacco and a slight menthol note out the back. There's red wine or sherry and some tropical fruit, maybe papaya. Wood with vanilla, light vinegar and some cocoa butter. Palate: strong and spicy again, fruity and tart like blackcurrant, woody and a bit bitter. Increasingly minty and grassy at the back, like dry eucalyptus.... Surprised positively. Good drop!"

"Toller Bally, der sich gut in die LMDW Runde einreiht. Einiges biestiger und weniger komplex als der legendäre 1999 Bruder und auch die gute 2006 Abfüllung. Dennoch ein solider Rum, der viel Spass macht."

"Krass wie unterschiedlich Nase und Geschmack hier sind! Sehr leckerer Agricole aber da muss man auf bitter, holzig und Kräuterig stehen. Spannend ist hier vor allem das Wechselspiel der Aromen im Mund zwischen Vanille-Mark, süßem Espresso, Bananenschale zu Kräutern, Leder, Tabak und intensiven Fass Aromen. Sehr Schöner Agricole für den man sich Zeit nehmen muss und auch sollte!"
