RHUM BALLY - Decanter - Grande Cuvée du Siècle - 100 years - 45%
The Maison J. Bally is an essential reference in the world of exceptional Martinican agricole rum. Founded by the visionary Jacques Bally at the beginning of the 20th century, this pioneering house distinguished itself by applying to Martinican rums the methods and excellence typical of great French eaux-de-vie. It produces its rums exclusively from pure fresh sugarcane juice and pays particular attention to aging, which guarantees depth and elegance. As early as 1917, Jacques Bally introduced aging in oak barrels — an innovation that marked the history of rum. In 1924, the house unveiled its now legendary triangular bottles, making a mark on the tasting landscape with their originality and prestige. Even after the distillery ceased operations in 1989, Bally rum production continued at the Distillerie du Simon, thus perpetuating a heritage of quality, ancestral know-how, and international renown. Today, the Bally signature remains synonymous with excellence, authenticity, and exception.
The Grande Cuvée du Siècle – Decanter – 100 years was specially created to celebrate the historic centenary of the Bally house. This extraordinary cuvée is presented in a sumptuous prestige decanter, a true tribute to the patience and refinement of the House. It is a unique blend of selected great vintages: 1929, 1939, 1955, 1975, and 2008, rare rums bringing together a whole century of excellence and history in a single precious bottle. Each vintage component reveals a distinct sensory signature, contributing to a fascinating and complex aromatic structure.
