Review by Giorgio Garotti
An absolute masterpiece by Bally! This rum is a concentrate of flavors! Rich, intense and with an endless persistence in the mouth! It has a beautiful earthy and cigar leaf part that integrates perfectly! A rum from another time!

Unique bottling!
Review by zabo
What an epic evening with one flight after another, indescribable. I'll spare any individual comments because sometimes I lack the words. Many thanks to Jakob. All in all, they were all excellent as you can see from the ratings and differ only in nuances. All top level 🤤😋
Review by Serge
Great dark color with an equally dark nose full of coffee, cocoa, leather, dry and dark fruits. A really great old rum. Also very good on the palate, but doesn't quite reach the nose. Definitely an experience.
Review by Jakob
Absolutely fantastic nose. The aromas dance wildly back and forth between spices, leather, coffee, cocoa, wood, roasted notes, and various dried fruits. On the palate, the barrel first makes itself noticed, before in the finish a subtle but very elegant play of aromas sets in again and dominates the finish. A great and truly impressive rum.
Review by DomM
Very intense and komplex. Some smoke, intense wood (not overwhelming at all) and dried fruits.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Oh my, what a beauty this is. I love those old molasses martiniquaise rhums with the french own ferment. A flowerpot licking some Demerara vibes. This is an intense and lovely rum. Quite alive and bringing a really good melange of floral and Dry notes
