Bally VO 70cl 45°
Inspired by ancestral techniques used to make Cognac and fine alcohols, the founder of the House, Jacques Bally, had in 1917 the genius idea and the instinct to let his rums age in barrels. This prolonged ageing in wood gives them a beautiful mahogany colour and aromas of an inimitable finesse that only time can grant.
The exceptional colour of this barrel-aged rum is highlighted by the emblematic pyramid bottle of the Bally house.
It is the excellence of its aged rums that has established the reputation of J. Bally Rums around the world.
This rum has sweet notes on the nose and a lively and generous mouthfeel, with candied aromas of citrus and vanilla.

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.
