J.Bally Rhum Blanc (70cl, 50%)

An unaged rhum agricole from Martinique, made from fresh sugar cane juice and carrying the AOC Martinique designation. Fully ripe sugar cane is selected for the white rhums of the brand. Its character combines floral and fruity impressions with the vegetal side of sugar cane. It suits neat tasting as well as a Ti Punch or Planteur. The nose shows a pronounced floral character with fresh sugar cane, orange blossom and honey, alongside dry vegetal notes of lime and tea, citrus fruits, pineapple, banana and Antilles cherry. The palate begins round with sugar cane aromas, becomes distinctly vegetal and grassy in the middle, then peppery with deeper iodine notes. The finish is drier, recalling sugar cane husk with a peppery note.
