How does this rum taste?
Dominated by wood, spice and that signature Bally bitter orange, this 15-year-old agricole leans into its oak-driven side. RumX members note consistent hits of allspice, leather, sandalwood and a distinctive sour cherry, especially on the palate. The lower ABV was mentioned by several: Maxime Clr 🇫🇷 called the finish 'courte', while crazyforgoodbooze found every drop 'dicht, elegant, konzentriert und intensiv.' If you’re not into bitterness, you might find this more challenging, but others praise the complexity, especially when a splash of water is added, unlocking subtle leather and orange notes (Nils123).

Spicy on the nose.... Cherry, allspice and wood ... Floral notes ... Does not seem coherent. On the palate sour cherry fresh wood, black tea... lots of please notes. Not really mine ..... Medium finish and somewhat dry. Not bad but nothing you really need.
This rhum was bottled 10 years after the legendary 1999 Bally. It will not become a legend, but it is delicious. A Bally easy sipper that will nevertheless demand a great deal of wood and bitter aroma tolerance from its tasters. I'm really looking forward to the ratings. Agricole inexperienced tasters may be in for a nasty surprise here.
Smooth Agricole with a relatively low ABV. The typical Agricole notes of herbs and hay, but also sour cherry and a little cocoa. Not a top Agricole but a good friend for a relaxed evening!
Rhum agricole is about average, with wood and spices dominating a little, but there's some fruitiness on the nose, with dried fruit becoming more bitter on the palate, like black cherry and orange zest. A little more alcohol in this brut de fût would perhaps have given it a little more length.
