Review by Galli33
Many thanks to Thomas for the great sample! Very complex rum, with a very nice nose, full of great agricole notes paired with furniture wax, a little tar, toffee and lots of fruit. What I liked less were the notes of charred wood and meat towards the end Very fine, balanced and complex on the palate. Great interplay between fruit, cask and agricole notes. The finish is long and the agricole/sugar cane notes predominate.
Review by Tim
Complex, round and herbal Agricole! Very balanced with wood, caramel sweetness, chocolate, sugar cane, spice, roasted aromas and fruit. Very long finish with deep barrel notes and herbal aromas, but all very harmonious! Nice intensity, well chosen.
Review by Godspeed
Secret distillery my ass this is clearly J. Bally. Smashingly good rum btw and the price is a steal for a brut de fut Agricole of this quality. Only 111 bottles made so scoop it up if you see it.
Review by Master P
A top Martinique, fruity tropical fruits, tobacco and some chocolate, taste of caramel, tea and dark fruit. There is a slight leather note in the aftertaste. I like it very much. Let's see if I can get a bottle.
Review by cigares
Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar Day 2. Le côté rhum agricole est perceptible au nez avec des herbes sèches, de la douceur végétale, des fruits secs et un côté fermenté. La bouche est pleine, savoureuse. La douceur végétale, les fruits jaunes, les agrumes et les fruits secs sont bien perceptibles. Le bois est en soutient et l‘alcool est parfaitement intégré. La finale est longue, savoureuse, harmonieuse avec tous les arômes qui restent longtemps. Une très belle découverte !
Review by Eric Frechin
This is a rum from Martinique, more specifically from the St James distillery (its olfactory and gustatory characteristics are clearly recognizable). The nose is full of promise, but I'm a little less enthusiastic about the taste. A little dry and alcoholic for me... but it's still good. The finish is dominated by woodiness.
Review by Morgan Garet
A brut de fût martiniquais in all its splendour, fruity (tropical fruits and citrus), gourmand (toffee, caramel, chocolate) and with a beautiful character (wood, tobacco, shoe polish and spices). I can't find a fault with it

Vzorek č.2 RFC 2025. Tohle mi opravdu chutná
Review by Martin Ekrt
Moc povedená agri vůně. Nic vlezlého, ale působí velmi vyzrále. Jemně zemité. Chuťově to je nebe. Zatraceně dobré. V závěru krom očekávaného ještě muškátový oříšek. Mít to méně dřevitosti a tříslovin tak je to top rum.
