The joint "Brut de Fût 2010" release between Bally and WDC represents a rare opportunity to savor a cask-aged Bally rum. No reduction, no additives, and unfiltered. Distilled in 2010 and aged in ex-bourbon barrels for 14 years entirely at the distillery, this rum, with an ABV of 53.8%, embodies the essence of the infamous distillery's style.
The aroma is initially warm, woody, and spicy, with a hint of partially dried varnish. Strong floral accents and a touch of cereal and toasted corn give depth to the profile, with a hint of berries lingering in the background.
The palate unfolds with a dense, dry body. Toasted and black tea notes blend with fine leather and a lingering peppery warmth. A hint of sugarcane, mineral notes, and hazelnut aromas add complexity. The cherry note on the finish contributes to a deep, fruity flavor profile, supported by the alcohol.
A powerful and extremely expressive rum. The high alcohol content creates a wonderful texture and helps Bally spread across the palate. Aromatically, Bally is challenging, complex, and structured. Anyone who is a fan of the brand, or of aged agricoles in general, should check out this rum. It likely won't be available in stores for long.
