J. Bally Millésime

A wonderful insight into a bygone era. Tasting this rum was an experience. However, I would have liked a little more revolutions.

#4001 Yet another piece of history. Typical Agricole with lots of fruit balanced really well with spices and caramel plus some roasted wood. The palate is oily and slightly dry which only enhances the overall profile. The empty glass is also really nice and reveals some chocolate notes.

Flüssige Geschichte, lecker und süffig. Die Trinkstärke macht sich nicht unangenehm bemerkbar, schöne Melange aus Früchten, Süsse, Holz und Gewürzen. Einzig im Abgang geht etwas die Kraft aus. Angenehm, aber nicht absolute Oberklasse.

Avere uno dei primi Bally mai distillati nel bicchiere è un grandissimo privilegio! Il marchio distintivo di questa distilleria si sente tutto, molto fruttato e una bellissima parte scura e intensa di legno e di foglie di sigaro integrate perfettamente! Il finale non lunghissimo ma davvero piacevole! Nonostate sia stato distillato quasi un secolo fa è uno dei migliori Bally che ho assaggiato!

A legendary rum from Martinique that is exceptionally well preserved. The nose feels "old" in the glass, but is still very expressive, complex and aromatic. Although the nose is driven by notes of leather, tobacco and more vegetal, floral and woody notes, the fruit is still very much present, notably yellow fruit, dried fruit, mirabelle plum and plum. The attack on the palate is of rare elegance, very delicate, fruity, with beautiful woody, floral and leather notes. The spices are also very gentle. The finish is also very complex and long, with a similar profile on the palate as on the nose, proof of an authentic and fantastic rum. A special experience with a Martinique icon.

Ok, I dont like sour and wine-style rums (most agricole). But this one - come on - perfectly integrated alcohol, sooo fruity and sweet like taste, sooo complex that it overhelmed the mild sour taste. And the nose and even tail was like from old house. Like if you open old chest in your grandma's house cellar. Wow!

A cool piece of history. Lovely fine Agricole, I wonder when I last enjoyed a 2cl like this for so long. It's confirmation again that even at low ABV it can be a full and complex r(h)um. I'm really very satisfied.

Merci le golden promise aux whisky live

Al naso è finemente corposo e affascinante con sentori di legno, pelle, tostatura, zucchero bruciato, vaniglia,frutta secca, caffè ,cioccolato e un po' di tabacco. Al palato è delicato ma con carattere e note floreali, di spezie dolci, pepe, legno, prugne, vaniglia e nocciole; il tutto molto rotondo e dal finale medio persistente. Nel bicchiere vuoto spezie profumate e legno
