Bally 7 years 45° pyramid bottle: Description and customer reviews

Bally 7 ans is one of three rums presented in the legendary bottle from Martinique's Le Cabret distillery. Aged in oak barrels according to the typical cognac-making process, this cuvée seduces with its sophisticated, delicate aromas.

Although not vintage, this agricultural rum is one of the distillery's top-of-the-range products.

Nico's tasting notes

The nose of this rhum agricole offers a rich palette introduced by dried fruits and melted oak. This richness translates into a "massive", thick block of aromas, like an autumn honey. As a result, it's not easy to pinpoint specific aromas, but the whole is coherent and integrated. Still, it can be described as spicy and rather dry, intense, full, but not aggressive. After a short opening, a waxed, encaustic-tinged woodiness emerges. A thick layer of prunes and spicy candied fruit contribute to a truly captivating atmosphere.
This complex rum continues to develop on aeration, with roasted walnuts and hazelnuts now acting as spices. A licorice-like cane juice comes through, almost reminiscent of molasses. This licorice lends a deep allure that doesn't completely dismiss the freshness of the rhum agricole, leading us to a subtle balance.

The palate opens with cane, followed by a whiff of dried fruit and mellow oak. Balance remains the order of the day, with very ripe fruit following one another with finesse.
The finish leaves a fresh taste of licorice and aniseed sweetened with cane syrup.

"Here is a testimony to the savoir-faire of the old Martinique houses: good juice and virtuoso ageing, quite simply..."

    A very good rum! With character. For connoisseurs only.

    On the nose 👃🏻: the first nose reveals a beautiful woody and spicy side, perfectly integrated, it doesn't overpower the rest. Mostly nutmeg and a little pepper. Shortly afterwards, a slightly crumbly profile develops in the glass, almost like a wax, along with a more subtle cocoa note. It announces a dry, slightly sweet and reasonably fruity profile, with notes of prunes typical of ex-Cognac barrel aging, and even candied apricots.

    On the palate 👅: here, too, nutmeg attacks from the outset, along with pepper and the sweetness of cane. The oak is dry and dusty, expressing itself well and would be almost palpable. It's a pure Martinique product, very dry and spicy. The wood seems just roasted afterwards, delivering a slight cocoa note that adds a little sweetness to the whole. The fruitiness doesn't really break through, however; it's really shy and rather vanilla-like on the finish.

    The finish is moderately long. It continues for a moment on this just-cocoa note then subsides with our oak and a little cinnamon, drying out the palate 👌

    This is an interesting product in its own right, but it doesn't manage to deliver all the complexity you'd expect from a rum in this range, in my humble opinion. In any case, the bottle will make an impression on your guests 😄 Let's hope it improves with time 👍
