Aroma visualization from community tastings
J. Bally Millésime 2000
Surprising thing first: at just 43% this aged Martinique agricole packs way more punch than the number suggests — one taster called it "surprisingly flavor-intense." Expect wood, herbs and dried fruit up front, then pepper, licorice, a grassy-green streak and a menthol coolness that lingers. Dry and spicy on the palate, not sweet. A well-made, balanced vieux agricole that rewards a little attention.
The community says- Balanced, spicy nose
- Grassy herbal depth
- Alcohol slightly unintegrated

Beautiful, balanced nose. Wood, spice and dried fruit. Grassy and some menthol balance. The palate continues in a similar way, very spicy and powerful despite the 43%. A very well-crafted agricole. The profile is strongly reminiscent of Saint James.

Nice and peppery, with a hint of baked apple, followed by a dry and spicy woody taste, slightly sour and a hint of lavender and bitter cocoa.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
With a medium to long finish this is also a very pleasant rum. Fruity with spices and honey sprinkled with some chocolate and nuts.

D'après mes vieilles notes succintes j'avais écrit : epices réglisse boisé et végétal. Puis j'avais ajouté : un bon Bally, mérite bien son 80 😁
Review by HenryL
Getrocknete Kräuter und etwas roter Apfel in der Nase Im Mund ebenfalls Kräuterig, etwas Marmeladige süße (vielleicht Aprikose) und eine angenehme minznote die im Abgang lange bleibt. Gefällt und für die 43% überraschend Geschmacksintensiv
Review by Pascal Gwada
Doux et facile à boire à 43°. Très accessible et agréable. Nez doux, fruits confits, caramel, alcool très discret. Bouche alcool plus présent mais toujours très doux, boisé, cuir, épices, empyreumatique, gras en fin de bouche. Longueur moyenne sur le bois et les épices. 2025: en aveugle : sur les mêmes impressions que la première fois. Nez excellent, Alcool + présent en bouche, bonne longueur, de la consistance. Je monte la note de 7.8 à un 8 bien campé, pas + mais pas moins.
Review by Kieron Wood
