How does this rum taste?
RumX members love this Bally’s complex, woody-spicy profile: cinnamon and allspice on the nose with leather and herbs, leading to sour cherry, black tea and refined wood. Often enjoyed neat as an easy sipper, it balances elegance with a drier, tannic edge. Some note the lower ABV and bitterness can shorten the finish. A 2009, 15-year Brut de Fût limited to 960 bottles, and well regarded by 25 reviewers.

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!
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.
8,4:On the nose, soap is a note bumping in our nosetrils, herbaceous and flowery sugarcane with a tea, yellow fruits and slightly roasted wood with chocolate, nuts and spicy with cinnamon. On aeration, more fruits reveal themselves like cherry, raisins and citrus, more roasted wood notes like butterscotch, leather, as cane brings hay. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is tasty with herbaceous, grassy and flowery sugarcane, tannins and soap, slightly bitter, resinous wood, spicy with nutmeg, pepper, cinnamon and vanilla, faint fruits with citrus. After resting the rum, a wave of green, yellow fruits and currants pop out, earthy cane honey with black tea. 8,2:The finish is long and tannic, dry, herbaceous, grassy and earthy sugarcane with black tea, the fruits are yellow, citrus with some orange, bergamot and also banana, raspberry, as the wood is spicy and slightly roasted..
