     Great rums. Finally back in the glass after years. Incredibly round and palatable. Exactly what you want from old agricoles.

     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!

     A great Bally that fits in well with the LMDW range. A little more beastly and less complex than its legendary 1999 brother and also the good 2006 bottling. Nevertheless, a solid rum that is a lot of fun.
