A lovely 70s agricole.
So, for this first Rumaniacs Review, I’m dealing with the J.Bally
1975. Apparently imported to Italy and bottled in 1991, making it a 26 year old
rhum, which is very unusual and quite spectacular.
Nose
Lovely, fruity cane juice. A faint earthyness along with
lots of floral influences.
Sweet lemonade comes to mind, but also soft oak and fragrant
leather.
Very elegant, very sexy, beautifully balanced.
Taste
Starts off with lemonade, but transforms into sugar cane,
thick leather, maple syrup and zesty tangerines. Then comes cinnamon and
pepper, which gives a nice tingling feeling. Liquorice also emerges along with
a bit of old oak.
Finish
Rather long and warm, with oaks, tangerine juice, and a soft
medicinal edge. Just enough to add another level without ruining the overall
experience.
Rating and final
thoughts
Feels old and something of days past. Amazing that it spent
26 years in a cask and remained so controlled on the oak. Beautiful rhum and I
love it.
Rating: 87/100
