J. Bally Rhum Ambré
Don't let the amber color fool you into expecting something rich and mellow — this is a young, rustic Martinique agricole. Grassy cane juice, pepper, and a floral, herbal streak lead, with dried fruit peeking through. A couple tasters flag a "medically bitter" edge and a short finish, but at 45% it's got real backbone and makes a fresh, lime-forward Ti-Punch.
The community says- Juicy cane juice
- Floral, grassy notes
- But: Short finish

How does J. Bally Rhum Ambré taste?
Aggregated from 35 community reviews.
Young, grassy agricole for Ti-Punch Well-liked as an everyday agricole and a good Ti-Punch base. Fans enjoy the juicy grassy cane; others find it thin, a touch bitter, and short on the finish.

The more i drink this rhum, the more i like it. The abv makes this rhum not at all watery, both nosing and sipping. On the nose, sweet and fruity, while drinking there is an interesting dirty note (somehow it makes me thinks of worm tubes in Whisky)

Overall an Agricole with very weak taste and the alcohol is quite dominant. Besides that it’s the grassy, herbal and vegetable notes that’s mostly recognizable even if it’s also possible to recognize some fruits, oak and tobacco.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,1:On the nose, the first impression we get is simple with wood and notes of chocolate. The fermentation notes of the young rum are still present, so we have a round vegetal, tropical and sweet profile.The sugarcane is very juicy, spicy, herbaceous and flowery, dried and yellow fruits make their presence. On aeration, fermented cane juice is all over, round and balanced. The aromas of fermentation have taken on woody accents and a slight patina, leaving the rum perfectly true and rustic. 7,3:On the palate is lightly peppery on the attack, but quickly gives way to an all-pervasive cane juice, herbaceous and flowery. Accents of fermentation and fruit remain fleeting and fade fairly quickly. In turn, we find cane bark, straw, fiber, juice, then earth again. 6,8:The finish is rather dry and slightly spicy, quite short and a bit bitter, it's at this point that the signs of ageing can be seen...

Giovane e immaturo, ma non per questo con meno personalità
Review by Alan Bertoli
A mio parere è piacevole...ma non mi colpisce! Sicuramente è un rum molto molto economico quindi non si può pretendere troppo. Può andare molto bene per chi vuole avvicinarsi agli agricole di martinica.

Ottimo rum agricolo, si sente il rovere delle botti, semplice ma complesso
Review by Michael Turner
Angenehm floral-medizinisch, süffig aber kurz im Abgang.
Review by Korkennase🥃
Dieser Rhum braucht Zeit im Glas, um sein Aroma zu verströmen. Die Nase wird von Früchten, Zimt und Vanille betört. Der Geschmack wird eher durch florale, grasige und einer pfeffrigen Note bestimmt mit etwas Bleistiftspähne im Hintergrund. Der Abgang ist trocken, erdig, floral, pfeffrig und man hat jetzt eine holzige Note im Abgang. Der Ti-Punch richt einladend frisch, fruchtig und schön nach Limette. Der Geschmack ist leicht süßlich, durch den Rohrzucker, mit floralen und grasigen Noten. Diesen Rhum kann ich nur empfehlen👍, ein toller Ti-Punch.🥃 Sehr süffig 😋
