J. Bally 7-Year

Purtroppo non riesco ad apprezzare i rum agricole, per me assomigliano alla grappa, molto miei amici li apprezzano quindi non mi sento di fare meno di 6
Rum comunque costoso, per me troppo secco

Un bon rhum dans l'ensemble avec des notes épicées et sucrées (mélasse) mais le goût et l'odeur d'alcool sont très prenantes.

Great looking bottle shape. This rum does have plenty of character with the typical hay-note of agricole rum, but it also a bit thin and alcoholic, you really feel the 46% abv. Will not buy again.

Typical Agricole Rhum from sugarcane, nothing for beginners but for real experts and people who will appreciate the raw taste of Sugarcane Rhum.

Beautiful presentation , on the nose , light caramel , floral and fruityish.. quite strong alcohol vapours.Something strange in the background ? Tastes of white fruits , mineral / brackish notes. Dry , slightly whiskey tones.. No burn in the throat and reasonably long aftertaste.
Im hoping the 12yr old I have improved with age.

Rhum agricole avec des notes de sucre et de miel mais un peu trop porté sur l'alcool...
Du retour en bouche mais manque d'allonge.

Jag tycker det är trevligt med agricole-lagrad rom men J. Bally lyckas inte riktigt nå upp i de högre klasserna med sin 7-åriga rom. Smaken är vass och kantig och det är svårt att känna vad den egentligen smakar. Raka motsatsen till de mjuka, lena solera-lagrade romen i samma prisklass. Det är en alkoholstark rom, 45% för att vara exakt, och kanske är det en bidragande faktor till smakbortfallet?

Aroma is not bad, but first taste is alcohol kick with something strange in background...
Aftertaste is nice average with fruity tones. Agricole fans can add + 0.5 or 1 point but this is definitely not my favorite kind of rum.

Rhum agricole assez classique (fruits confits, léger boisé). Le Clément dans là même gamme offre plus de subtilité...
