J. Bally Millésime 2005
Most enjoy the warm woody-vanilla nose and easy-drinking profile. Critics find it diluted, with wood dominating and little complexity. Consensus: a pleasant, light Bally millésime at fair value.
Agricole-curious drinkers who want a gentle, woody, dry sipper at manageable 43% ABV, and Bally fans looking for an easy everyday vintage bottle.

How does this rum taste?
Light, woody agricole, easy but a bit thin
If you like softer aged agricoles like Clément VO but want a bit more wood and cocoa, this Bally fits—just don’t expect cask-strength depth or huge complexity.
Those wanting high-intensity, complex agricole or cask strength power; drinkers who dislike dominant oak and a relatively thin, short palate.

A great rum actually. Fruity from nose to finish, lightly dry and slight touch of wood. Price to quality is very good.
Notes issues du Whisky Live Paris 2024 - à revoir et approfondir. Un peu de chocolat et de peps en plus, peut être du tabac (par rapport au 2002).
Ein sehr schöner Bally Mülleimer aus dem Jahre 2005. In der Nase für mich einfach nur holzig. Am Gaumen kommen dann noch leichte Noten von Vanille, Kakao, Leder und Toffee hinzu. Und außerdem ist er leicht würzig. Alles in allem sehr lecker.
Lecker, aber leider im Geschmack und Abgang etwas dünn
