Dark and oily. Very heavy, the scent lies him room. Chocolate, coffee, wood, caramel, leather. Only when you put your nose in the glass the fresh, grassy notes of an Agricoles come to light.a tart, long-lasting aftershave in the mouth. It now completely denies its origin, after a few minutes you briefly feel some grassy freshness on the palate.Craftsmanship very good, well balanced, alcohol integration a model. Wood you just have to likeFriends of old, heavy Demeraras, this is THE Agricole for you.

Enjoying this one right now. I got a sample with my latest order that I picked up today. It needs to rest for at least 15 minutes before you have a go at it. The nose is there right away and is wonderful. The palate is warm and woody with some apple and nuts to it. Very well balanced and complex. The finish is long and woody, warm and spicy, yummy. Unfortunately this is an auction only since very few bottles were released and gone in a flash.

Während an der Nase neben einer ausgeprägten Würze auch noch die typischen grünen, frischen Agricole-Noten gut wahrnehmbar sind, kommen am Gaumen vor allem röstige Noten, Tabak und Leder. Hätte ich eine ganze Flasche, würde ich ihn sicher öfter zur Zigarre trinken 🥃💨

I’m being honest: in the past, I’ve always avoided J. Bally as I deemed it as too commercial..well..this Corman Collins release is truly a gem..you get a ton of fresh fruits (apricot and a slight touch of green apple), then wood, spices (vanilla and cinnamon), a clear note of dark chocolate with a hint of fresh mint.. really pleased with it..if you find a bottle, I suggest to grab it! :)

Sehr dominante Agricole-Noten von Gras, Apfel, jungem Holz und grünen Früchten. Im Geschnack viele Bitternoten. Leider nicht so mein Fall. Für Agricole-Fans sicher was feines.

Un excellent vieux Bailly. Un agricole qui se rapproche de la perfection, le bois ne balaye pas tout sur son passage et laisse ce vieux jus de canne s’exprimer. Très grosse longueur en bouche.

Un rhum agricole de Martinique de 18 ans est toujours quelque chose d’assez rare et exceptionnel à déguster. Ici, ce Bally 18 ans aura vraiment été façonné par le fût de Cognac, offrant à ce spiritueux une belle complexité et surtout une gourmandise incroyable… Loin d’être un un jus de bois imbuvable, ce Bally réussi le paris d’être abordable tant d’un point de vue dégustation que financier. En effet, 149€ pour un rhum agricole AOC du 18 ans, c’est assez rare pour être souligné. Un superbe rhum d’hiver

Au nez, un beau boisé séducteur est omniprésent. Mais je m’étonne de retrouver quelque chose aussi de très fruité (agrumes-fruits tropicaux) ! Le nez est gourmand et l’alcool ne se fait que peut ressentir. On retrouve des fruits secs en pagailles, des épices et du bon chocolat belge (ben oui c’est un embouteillage belge !). Lorsque l’on trempe nos lèvres, c’est vivant, c’est intense, l’alcool est parfaitement intégré, c’est chaleureux. Comme le nez pouvait le faire imaginer, le boisé prend la part belle dans cette 1ère attaque en bouche. Mais les autres arômes se font vites découvrir.
