The J. Bally Millésime 2005 is a remarkable rum from the renowned Martinique distillery, J. Bally, crafted from sugar cane juice and distilled in a column still, resulting in a 43% ABV. This rum offers an intricate and captivating aroma featuring spice, dried fruit, cocoa, vanilla, and overripe notes. Its flavor profile showcases roasted, dry, cocoa, and woody elements, culminating in a subtle aftertaste that is both nuanced and refined.
The nose is rich and sharp, with an abundance of nuts, weathered wood, and peppery notes typical of a pure cane juice rum. The aroma is dynamic and vibrant, with mocha and roasted spice notes creating a dry atmosphere. On the palate, the rum is dominated by peppery agricultural notes, honeyed wood, pepper, and other spices. The cane tightens on a bitter citrus zest, followed by savory woodiness and gently roasted, cooked fruits. The finish is characterized by lingering citrus zest, softened by wood wax and a fruity, hearty plantain-like feel.
This rum is highly regarded for its charming nose, with woodsy and confit fruit notes, and its enjoyable, slightly dry, and fruity character. Despite its woody palate, it offers excellent value for its price, making it a sought-after choice for rum enthusiasts. While some might find the woodiness overpowering in the taste, it still holds a solid reputation as a classic agricole rum from J. Bally.
