The J. Bally 2006 Vieux Agricole Velier 70th Anniversary rum is a remarkable and complex spirit, hailing from the renowned J. Bally distillery in Martinique. This exceptional rum, distilled in 2006, utilizes pure sugar cane juice and a Column Still, followed by 12 years of aging in a tropical climate which enhances its unique characteristics. With an ABV of 43% and a total of only 798 bottles produced, it stands as a rare and collectible treasure.
This Agricole rum presents a harmonious balance of floral and woody notes, complemented by fresh, fruity, and spiced flavors with a hint of barrel aging. On the nose, it offers an initial burst of dried fruits, followed by a refreshing touch of camphor, menthol, licorice, pepper, cane, lime zest, rich nuts, and oak. With aeration, it develops a more pronounced menthol and aerial character, revealing fresh tannins, licorice, and a rich, fleshy woodiness, with a touch of elegantly sliced dried fruits and a hint of Cognac.
The palate is moderately tannic, with a more serious and refined character featuring cedarwood, cigar box notes, elegant dried fruits, spices, and a touch of chocolate. The complexity intensifies with the influence of rich, aromatic wood. The finish is long and smooth, with a delightful chewiness and the elegance of a subtle stone fruit kernel. The rich nuts and dried fruits persist, ending on a spicy, peppery note.
