Bally Cuvée du Siècle 70cl 45°
This Cuvée du siècle brilliantly pays tribute to 100 years of prestige of Martinican rum J.Bally, whose distillery was created in 1923 on the west coast of the island.
In this famous pyramidal decanter, icon of the Decorative Art movement, J.Bally bottles a blend of the rarest vintage rums since 1929. A selection signed Marc Sassier, Cellar Master, which mixes past and present, to the delight of epicureans and fine collectors.
A journey through history where we perceive the old wood of the 1929 vintage, the empyreumatic notes of 1939, the fruity flavors of 1955 and 1975, and the roundness of 2008.
Limited edition of 2000 copies.
Established on the Carbet estate near Mount Pelée, Bally is a benchmark in the world of Martinican rums! It is one of the oldest distilleries in Martinique. Its rums are characterized by the finesse of their aromas, a good roundness in the mouth and a great fruity richness.
The history of the Bally distillery begins with the founding of the Habitation de Lajus in 1774: at the time, this estate benefited from the volcanic lands of Carbet as well as the mansion and the small sugar plantation that was already established. Shortly after the catastrophe following the eruption of Mount Pelée, from which he narrowly escaped, the Domaine Lajus was the subject of a real estate foreclosure.
In 1917, Jacques Bally, a young engineer freshly graduated of the Ecole Centrale de Paris, acquired the estate and decided to restore it by equipping it with a new distillation column and a steam engine.
In 1930, he invented the famous pyramid-shaped bottle that would make the brand famous, as well as the distillation and barrel-ageing techniques that are mostly still used today.
