    How does this rum taste?

    Powerful, orangey, woody agricole hitter
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy serious, dry agricoles like older Saint James or HSE at higher ABV, this adds intense orange-and-wood depth with enough fruit to keep it engaging.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to alcohol heat, or drinkers who dislike bitterness, strong oak tannins or the slightly “technical” agricole profile.

    Aroma

    Woody Tropical fruit Vanilla Orange peel

    This 1999 Bally is a must-taste for all lovers of rhum agricole. The texture is thick, full-bodied and very progressive. Yummy!

    The legs are fat on the walls of the glass. 1st nose on waxed wood, light notes of tropical fruits and roasted almonds. Then it opens on fruits, chocolate and caramel all wrapped in this bewitching waxed wood. After long minutes vanilla settles in. A note of cherry makes a brief appearance. In mouth, what a greediness! We take the same actors as on the nose and we start again. Then the undergrowth and the spices settle on the tongue. Long finish on spices and caramel.

    Tasted very good to me ... caramelized notes of orange peel, wood, resin. hmmm have written down that the orange color of the wax seal fits very well with the taste. Were probably a few too many 😂Very good at the release price 👌

    Les attentes sont grandes lorsqu’il s’agit de la saga des Éphémères, et ce rhum ne déroge pas à la règle. On découvre un profil particulièrement équilibré, oscillant entre puissance et gourmandise, entre finesse et expression. Le nez est sec, intense mais très avenant et s’accompagne d’une certaine fraîcheur. On retrouve tout ce qui fait la réputation de Saint James : un boisé fin, des notes sombres de café, de cacao et de chocolat, une trame avec une sensation de roti et des épices qui agrément parfaitement le profil olfactif. Les fruits secs, la canne à sucre et le tabac complètent le tableau aromatique. L’attaque en bouche est ronde et complexe. On retrouve la gourmandise des fruits tropicaux, des fruits secs et du chocolat, le côté asséchant des tanins, l’influence sombre des notes empyreumatiques et boisées, les arômes liés aux épices, le tabac et la canne à sucre pour le côté plus végétal. On retrouve le parfait équilibre entre élégance et exubérance. L’alcool est très bien intégré. La finale, très longue, est encore plus sèche. Les épices, le cuir et le boisé reviennent à la charge, tandis que les notes végétales, les tanins et les fruits secs concluent parfaitement ce profil complet et haut en couleurs. Une excellente cuvée, plus riche que le Numéro 7 mais légèrement moins complexe et profonde que le Numéro 1 de la série. Elle fait clairement partie du haut de gamme du rhum agricole.
