J. Bally Plantations Lajus du Carbet (Round Bottle) 1966

J. Bally Plantations Lajus du Carbet 1966 is a vintage bottling from J. Bally, one of the historic names in Martinique agricole, presented in the distinctive round bottle. It dates to the 1966 harvest, making it a genuinely old single-vintage rhum.

Made from fresh-pressed sugar-cane juice in the Martinique tradition and bottled at 45%, a rhum of this vintage is collected as much for its history as for tasting. Long-aged agricole of this character typically carries a grassy core beneath deep vanilla, baking spice, cocoa, leather and well-integrated oak. A bottle from 1966 is best treated as a piece of the distillery's heritage, with exact character impossible to assert from the record.
