Rum Bally vintage 1960 is a distinguished spirit produced at the renowned Habitation Lajus, a stronghold of Bally rums. This estate was acquired in 1917 by Jacques Bally, who renovated it and constructed a distillery on the remnants of a small sugar refinery. By installing a steam engine and designing a unique Creole column, Bally began rum production in 1924. The J.Bally 1960 Plantations Lajus Carbet 45% 750ml is a testament to this legacy, capturing a piece of history in its bottle. This particular vintage stands out with its extremely woody profile, offering flavors of leather and ripe apples on the palate. The nose is notably shy, yet reveals a massive wall of cupboards with minimal grassy notes. The finish is characterized by its bitterness and long-lasting woody essence. Despite its mature and old taste, it has been rated positively at 84/100 for its complexity and depth. In cross-tastings of various J.Bally vintages, the 1960 release emerged as a unique specimen due to its distinct woody characteristics. The rich tannins and apple notes on the palate contrast the slight grassiness, delivering a surprising tasting experience. Overall, the rum is appreciated for its bold woody notes and complex array of flavors, providing a memorable drinking experience for rum enthusiasts.
