"Classic agricole, nougat, dry sweetness, spices, nuts, wood, light planty-floral aromas. Pleasant to drink and a really good quality rum, but unfortunately without a wow effect."

"A rather mild Agricole but still an Agricole nonetheless. Nice touch of oak and fruit with vanilla and caramel. There is a nice warmth on the palate but would have liked a higher ABV."

"A more flavorful and aromatic Bally than its 2005 counterpart. The nose is pleasant, carried by fruity, vegetal, floral, earthy notes with tobacco, wood, leather and spices. The rum is smooth, easy to drink but aromatic in the mouth. The finish is moderately long on the same tones. A nice Bally that could be even better with more voltage."

"Bottle almost finished: the very woody and bitter side is no longer as prominent (perhaps a little cold that disturbed my previous attempts), in the end it's quite pleasant with a certain depth and a titration that makes it easy to appreciate. I often suggest it to novices who visit me :) 2nd tasting: After half a bottle, so quite a bit of oxidation: on the palate, the woodiness and medicinal aspect make it rather average. It's even a little too bitter for my taste. 1st tasting: Better than I expected. Lacks liveliness, however."
