    How does this rum taste?

    The Grande Cuvée du Siècle Carafe Pyramide (100 Years) from J. Bally in Martinique is a limited edition rum, distilled from sugar cane juice using a Creole Column. With only 2000 bottles produced, this 45% ABV rum showcases an intricate balance of woody, vegetal, and earthy aromas complemented by notes of tropical fruit, coffee, and herbal nuances. Users often describe the scent as aromatic and complex, while the palate offers a blend of sugarcane, leather, and earthy flavors. Though praised for its historical blend and elegant presentation, some reviewers feel the taste doesn't match its premium pricing, despite its complexity and rich heritage.

    Goûté comme beaucoup au live 2023..en présence de Marc sassier et Simon pierre et je dirais largement resservie si la première fois je n'étais pas sûr.. magnifique dans le respect du profil Bally.Mais surtout un travail incroyable d'assemblage créant un rhum d'une grande harmonie et d'une buvabilité( c'est moche)maximum...coffret superbe , bouteille pour vitrine et prix en 2023 pour ce genre de bouteilles presque correct..!!!

    "Whisky Live 2023, session dégustation rapide ! Ma pépite du salon, une véritable dégustation en montagne russe; complexité et richesse. En plus la carafe est dingue… cerise sur le gâteau ! En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Boisé, Eau-de-vie de fruits En bouche : Fruits secs, Cuir, Canne à sucre, Végétal La finale plutot orientee vers : Fruits secs, Tabac, Boisé, Complexe, Doux"

    Le nez a lui tout seul vaut le détour. Qui a mélangé de l'armagnac avec un Speyside des 70's!!! Le palais ne déçoit pas même si certains voudront certainement un peu plus de watts. Je suis resté plus d'une heure avec ce fruité délicieux et ces myriades d'épices typiques de Bally, vanille et canne à sucre sont aussi de la partie. Une caresse!! Atomique tout comme son prix 🥳

    Al naso è esplosivo con tanti frutti rossi e anche tropicali, legno nobile, tostatura, spezie, qualcosa di vegetale e dolce, molto buono. Al palato ha note di barile, spezie, frutta secca e frutta mista rossa, noccioline, pelle, spezie dolci miste, pepe, un po' di tabacco, un filo di cognac e qualcosa di floreale. Il finale è abbastanza lungo e persistente. Nel bicchiere vuoto legno e stagionati. Lascia un retrogusto secco e sugheroso. Oscilla tra 8.9 e 9
