Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A great rum actually. Fruity from nose to finish, lightly dry and slight touch of wood. Price to quality is very good.
Review by TheJackDrop
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).
Review by Timo Groeger
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.
Review by Oliver
Lecker, aber leider im Geschmack und Abgang etwas dünn
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è caldo con legno, zucchero bruciato e spezie Al palato è semplice e leggero con una dolcezza che da sfondo al legno e alle spezie
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum agricole qui démarre avec un joli nez boisé, vanillé avec des notes de chocolat, d’épices et de fruits. En bouche, le boisé prend le dessus, rendant le jus très simple et pas aussi développé que le nez le laisse entendre. La finale se termine sur cette même note boisée un peu rôti. Un rhum sec et dilué qui pourrait gagner en complexité.
Review by Rodolphe
Le nez est charmeur. Un Agricole bien marqué bois, typique chez bally mais toujours avec une belle trame de fruits confits derrière. En bouche c'est un peu décevant car le bois ne laisse pas de place au reste et du coup ca manque de complexité et de gourmandise.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
schöne Nase, schönes Bouquet auch im Geschmack, leider auch wieder fast sofort weg und sehr dünn und flüchtig.
