The surprise here is how fruity a floral agricole can get: several tasters pull ripe peach, strawberry, candied pineapple and mango out of the glass, with basil, white chocolate and a little cinnamon behind it. One member even swore blind it could be a Savanna. Only a hint of barrel, and it drinks light and easy. Let it breathe 15 minutes before you dig in.

How does J. Bally Velier 70th Anniversary 2006 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fresh, fruity agricole, short finish A well-liked Martinique agricole — fresh, floral and fruitier than expected. The one recurring gripe: at 43% several feel it's been diluted, leaving a shortish finish.

Clean Agricole that is fresh and fruity with a lot of nice spices and only a hint of barrel. I recommend letting it rest for at least 15 minutes before giving it a go.

Good but not really convincing. The flavor notes don't come through enough.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Exquisiter Agricole. Viel Geschmack. Parfum, frisch und schräge Assoziationen von Kellerabteil und Blauschimmelkäse (Nase) 🤔. Zugänglich und dennoch Charakter. Nur der Abgang ist leicht zu kurz. Mir gefällt er.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Yes, floral and woody. And really mild. Nothing special. But now the highlight: Accidentally poured some of the rhum over my hand and then clearly smelled apricot jam on my skin. Simply delicious - and worth 3 plus points for me.
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: still good, but I deducted 2 points because it seems much paler than the cask strength version. A strong, spicy agricole rum. I like it, although this style is not my favorite. Insanely long finish that lingers on the palate for ages!
Review by Thunderbird
A good complex Agricole with intense fruity aromas! Without dilution, a higher rating would have been justified.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
wow! blind würde ich fast auf Savanna tippen, damit hatte ich nicht gerechnet. Pfirsich, Erdbeere und Basilikum, frisch fruchtig, dazu etwas weiße Schokolade mit Rosenblüten, etwas würziger Piment und Zimt dazu, was in der Kombi mit dem Rest eine unglaublich komplex, frisch, fruchtige Nummer ergibt und das ganze trotz Trinkstärke sehr geschmeidig und dennoch komplex und vollmundig. geil, damit hätte ich nicht gerechnet! 🤤
Review by GigiMartini
It struck me for its ease of drinking, the body is rather light. Nose and palate with a very noticeable sweet note. Spiciness absent or practically imperceptible. Very short finish.
Review by Johannes
Very good Bally, nice complexity, the only downside is the dilution.
Review by Alexander Rasch
My RumRatings review from 5 years ago: On the nose, the rum shows that it has a lot to offer. Lots of fresh fruit and berries, vanilla and baking spices like cinnamon, floral agricole notes with wood – the rum has a great nose. On the palate, the rum is very direct and has pleasant grassy notes, with some citrus, mint, and a great fruit note. The cinnamon comes back and the rum gets spicier. The wood now plays along and shows nice cask notes. The floral note returns and agricole notes share the finish with bitter elements and a slightly harsh cocoa. A great rum, where the 43% ABV is well placed, even though it makes the finish seem a bit cut short. All in all, a high-quality, complex agricole that convinces. Unfortunately not cheap to buy either.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Rhum agricole équilibré au nez et en bouche. Les notes empyreumatiques se dégagent tout au long de la dégustation. La longueur est moyenne.
Review by David
Needs to breathe. Candied pineapple and mango. A delight.
Review by Oliver
Nice Agricole. Unfortunately a bit short finish.
