“The emotion of drinking an aged rum, even if it has spent most of its life in the bottle. A very dry nose with a slight earthiness and vanilla. Lots of finesse and elegance throughout. Tropical fruit on the palate, pineapple and banana. A surprisingly long finish, with sugarcane and fruit. I'm sure the rum continues to evolve in bottle. Not as strong as the Courcelles 1972 at 47% and 54%, which have a broader aromatic palette, but a very fine rum all the same.”

“A very, very elegant Bally. Dryed flower petals thyme-honey. And a nice malty finish. This is really from a different era and is gone in a sense of not being produced anymore. But this is subtle and lovely”
