    How does this rum taste?

    • Expressive honey and spice profile
    • Impressively rounded for young age
    • Long, pleasantly complex finish

    Rich notes of honey, spice, and toasted oak define A1710 Cheval Bondieu, a three-year-old Martinique agricole often described as surprisingly mature and rounded for its age. Layers of vanilla, tropical fruit, and fresh sugarcane bring complexity, while a gentle sweetness softens the subtle wood and pepper. The RumX community calls it "very gourmand" and expertly balanced—a rewarding adventure for fans of expressive, wood-aged rums worth discovering.

    "On the nose, the cane is still very present in this rather young rum, yet already well marked by wood. Lots of nice things: pastry, floral, woody. With a fresh, sandalwood-like scent. This is confirmed on the palate with a very smooth rum. Pleasant vanilla appears before the pepper adds a lively spiciness. A fine bottle!"

    "First rum of A1710 from their own cane.it's nice but still very young.on the whole, in the nose, in the mouth, I find it too much in the spices.... And yet I like it! The cinnamon and the clove are too present, too bad... On the whole it's good despite everything but I note it severely because of the price that I find exorbitant compared to the quality of the other distilleries in Martinique."
