J. Bally Rhum Agricole Cuvée Art Deco Ltd. Edition | Gift Boxed
The J. Bally Rhum Cuvée Art Deco Limited Edition, is a tribute to the brand's pioneering heritage, featuring the iconic square-based, multi-faceted bottle designed by the founder, Jacques Bally, in the 1930s. This design was revolutionary for its time, embodying the clean lines and geometric elegance of the Art Deco movement. This edition is not just a bottle of Rhum; it is a piece of Martinican and design history. Jacques Bally, recognizing the superior quality of his aged rhum agricole, believed it deserved presentation beyond the ordinary. The Art Deco bottle, with its precise angles and tiered shape, was specifically created to reflect the excellence and sophistication of the spirit within. This limited edition revives that classic bottle, making it a highly coveted item for collectors and connoisseurs. Intensely complex, the Cuvée Art Deco Rhum displays luxurious aromas of dark molasses (despite being a rhum agricole), dried fruit cake, sandalwood, and sweet pipe tobacco. Subtle hints of spice rack (cinnamon, allspice) and old sherry are present. The palate is powerful yet impeccably balanced. The texture is oily and enveloping. Flavors evolve from burnt orange and rich mocha to savory cedar, leather, and crystallized ginger. There is a magnificent tension between sweet dried fruit and dry wood spice. Monumentally long and refined, the finish is warm, structured, and fades slowly, leaving a memorable impression of cocoa and tropical earth.
