How does this rum taste?
RumX members love this 17-year cask strength agricole’s woody, spicy style with leather, cocoa and vanilla on the nose. On the palate it’s dry and full-bodied, with oak, licorice and coffee, then a minty, tobacco-tinged finish. Despite 58.1% ABV, many find the alcohol well integrated. Highly rated by 82 RumX reviewers, it rewards slow sipping and time in the glass.

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 😊
Al naso è corposo e speziato con legno, pelle, frutti rossi, vaniglia, caffè tostato e qualche vegetale, buonissimo! Al palato avvolgente e speziato, tostato con pelle, legno, vegetali, floreale, pepato, vaniglia e frutti secchi misti. Nel retrogusto resta terroso. Grazie a Dr.Django per l'occasione.
Great rums. Finally back in the glass after years. Incredibly round and palatable. Exactly what you want from old agricoles.
