    Extraordinaire

    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!

    Merci le golden promise aux whisky live

    #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.
