J. Bally Grande Cuvée du Siècle Carafe Pyramide (100 Years)

One taster called the nose "armagnac married to a 70s Speyside" — and that captures it. This Bally centenary blend (1929 through 2008 vintages) reads dark and woody, with dried fruit, sugarcane, leather, vanilla and winter spice. Most love the elegant, rounded nose; several note the palate is softer and the finish shorter than that opening promises. A genuinely fine agricole blend, priced for collectors.

How does J. Bally Grande Cuvée du Siècle Carafe Pyramide (100 Years) taste?

Aggregated from 43 community reviews.

Elegant old-vintage agricole, dark and woody Loved for its complex, fruity-woody nose and old-vintage character. The recurring gripe: a good but shorter, less deep palate than the nose sets up — and a very steep price.

Perfect for

Agricole fans and collectors who want old-vintage Bally character

Less suitable for

Anyone wanting a long finish or value for money

Goûté comme beaucoup au live 2023..en présence de Marc sassier et Simon pierre et je dirais largement resservie si la première fois je n'étais pas sûr.. magnifique dans le respect du profil Bally.Mais surtout un travail incroyable d'assemblage créant un rhum d'une grande harmonie et d'une buvabilité( c'est moche)maximum...coffret superbe , bouteille pour vitrine et prix en 2023 pour ce genre de bouteilles presque correct..!!!

"Whisky Live 2023, session dégustation rapide ! Ma pépite du salon, une véritable dégustation en montagne russe; complexité et richesse. En plus la carafe est dingue… cerise sur le gâteau ! En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Boisé, Eau-de-vie de fruits En bouche : Fruits secs, Cuir, Canne à sucre, Végétal La finale plutot orientee vers : Fruits secs, Tabac, Boisé, Complexe, Doux"

Le nez a lui tout seul vaut le détour. Qui a mélangé de l'armagnac avec un Speyside des 70's!!! Le palais ne déçoit pas même si certains voudront certainement un peu plus de watts. Je suis resté plus d'une heure avec ce fruité délicieux et ces myriades d'épices typiques de Bally, vanille et canne à sucre sont aussi de la partie. Une caresse!! Atomique tout comme son prix 🥳

8.9/10

Al naso è esplosivo con tanti frutti rossi e anche tropicali, legno nobile, tostatura, spezie, qualcosa di vegetale e dolce, molto buono. Al palato ha note di barile, spezie, frutta secca e frutta mista rossa, noccioline, pelle, spezie dolci miste, pepe, un po' di tabacco, un filo di cognac e qualcosa di floreale. Il finale è abbastanza lungo e persistente. Nel bicchiere vuoto legno e stagionati. Lascia un retrogusto secco e sugheroso. Oscilla tra 8.9 e 9

Nez très subtil pas du tout explosif, élégant note d’amande fraîche et de cire noble bois de château, légèrement iodé et salé en finale

Un rhum dégusté au WLP. Un nez étonnement vif vu les millésimes, du végétal mais aussi des fruits jaunes et des fruits tropicaux. La bouche donne des notes d’encaustique à la cire, de l’amande fraîche et de la feuille de figuier. Un côté salé commence une finale plutôt douce, longue et se terminant sur le bois. Je me sens en Sicile dans un verger en désordre et le verre vide raconte une histoire de vieux château.

Note de salon: Le nez est d’un très joli patiné, bois vernis fruit tropicaux bien mûre. La bouche est agréablement expressive pour un 45%. Amande amer et figue sèche. Sans être transcendant c’est un joli rhum qui ne vaut pas son prix
