Wu Dram Clan J. Bally Brut de Fût 2010
Wood and pepper hit first, then cherry and red berries push back to keep it from turning dry and one-note. This 14-year Bally from Wu Dram Clan drinks warm and oily at 53.8%, with herbal, tea and menthol edges on a long finish. Several tasters swear you could mistake it for an Armagnac blind. Give it 40 minutes to open.

How does Wu Dram Clan J. Bally Brut de Fût 2010 taste?
Aggregated from 31 community reviews.
Woody, peppery aged agricole with cherry depth Loved by Agricole and Armagnac fans for its spicy wood, cherry and well-integrated proof. A couple felt the long cask time pushed out the fruit and left it slightly over its peak.

Review by Felix Reiber
A very interesting and spicy J.Bally. On the nose, I get lots of spices and wood. Then come citrus fruits, cherry, berries like currants, and something floral. It gives the impression of an Armagnac. The palate is very spicy but starts with a beautiful sweetness that leads into cherry, dried fruits, currants, and pear. Nuts, leather, and tea transition into herbs and again Armagnac, which then settles with roasted notes. The finish is long, spicy, and complex. Wood, pepper, herbs, and allspice give way to chocolate and cherry. Then the floral note returns in tea and menthol. The finish ends with slightly earthy aromas. This rum is not for those with a sweet tooth or A.H. Riise drinkers, but a real recommendation for anyone experienced with Agricole or Armagnac. An impressive aromatic profile and complexity. Thanks for the awesome sample 😀

#5843 11.10.2025 Visiting the Whisky Live Hamburg 2025 event. It was the first of its kind and went off pretty well. They still have to learn a lot about running an event like this. People were allowed to bring backpacks and even cabin bags to the event and that is a problem in my mind. A very nice and well balanced release. Fompared to the Whisky Live Hamburg 2025 reease, this one is less spicy and more mineral in the profile. Wood and ABV is well balanced with the fruits, sugarcane and light leather. Peppery palate with some added cinnamon.

Auf der Whisky-Live 2025 verkostet: Gelungene Abfüllung vom WDC. Wunderbares Aromenspiel: Angenehme süsse mit Kirsche und roten Beeren, die dann in eine würzige Note übergeht. ABV sehr gut integriert.
Review by Thunderbird
J.Bally Brut de Fut No. 2 this evening. Here is the WDC. The nose is very pleasant and fits perfectly...a lot of wood, toastiness and leather on the palate...fruit is only subtly perceptible...the old whisky-cherry bottling has a little more to offer. The finish is long and after the initial dark aromas, dried fruit joins in late. Another very good bottling
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Toller Agricole! Für eine Spitzenbewertung reicht es nicht, weil da eine "spitze" Note ist, die den vollkommenen Genuss etwas stört. Nasses Holz? Dank an FischeJ für das schöne Sample, der Rhum wird noch mal verkostet.
Review by mto75
A syrupy sweet-spicy note on the nose, plus dried fig, allspice. On the palate, prune, nutmeg, plus (as a kind of contrast) a tart, bitter note. I really like it, almost a little reminiscent of the '99 LMDW.
Review by Nils123
More on the woody, spicy side. However, the kish note is also very strong and holds its own. It has a very charged effect, you have to be into that. A little menthol is added with water.
Review by zabo
Nun ja, Ballys hatte ich nun doch schon einige im Glas, es gibt da gute und schlechte, aber ich bin halt kein Agricole Fanboy. Für mich ist dieser eher im Mittelfeld, da er ein wenig drüber ist, da die lange Zeit im Fass schon spürbar ist.
Review by Johannes
Really good rhum, but for me unfortunately past its zenith. Too much tropical wood influence. As a result, the fruit is missing.
Review by Joachim Guger
Schöne Farbe! Sehr warm und kräftig in der Nase. Holz, Gewürze, Karamell. Rote Früchte. Ölig, voll im Mund. Holzige Süße. Warmer, langer Abgang. Auch sehr schön. Handwerklich top. Für einen Agricole sehr vollmundig. Sehr schöne Fasswahl. Danke nach Bonn für das tolle Sample!!
Review by Buddudharma
Beautiful Bally with a classic profile on the right.
Review by Tim Reiber
Ein Agricole von der intensiven Sorte. In der Nase ist er sehr würzig und kantig. Viele Kräuter und Nadelhölzer steigen neben Lack und Zitrusfrüchten auf. Am Gaumen ist er überraschend süßlich und kommt neben intensiven Holz- und Kräuternoten auch mit etwas Sauerkirsche. In einer Blindverkostung könnte man hier zwischen Rum und Armagnac überhaupt nicht unterscheiden.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
Read full review →Rhum powerful, but not too brute, rather like a concentrated distillate that combines the essence of sugar cane, spices and wood. The high alcohol content creates a wonderful texture and helps the Bally to spread throughout the mouth. Aromatically, the Bally is definitely demanding, but not overwhelming.
Expert review by Le Blog À Roger
Read full review →By golly, this is a fine selection from a 14-year-old Bally, with everything we love about them, but with a little something extra that means we don't bother for a moment. Well done guys!
