A very nice discovery, in addition to being the first old made with the juices of the distillery. This rum is very greedy, with a nice length in mouth. The cocoa notes give a real gourmet power.
Auto-translatedooravdu great full-bodied taste. We drank A1710 in the deatilerie straight from the cask
Auto-translatedVery interesting profile. The Martinique characteristics are there, with a fruity, ripe edge. Added to this is the alembic effect, which gives it a roasted edge. The woodiness is pleasant, but more on the cherry side. A rum that's right up my alley, except for the ridiculous price tag... Edit: the nose is warm, gourmand and charming. So is the first taste, the second taste and the finish are much spicier.
Auto-translatedVery interesting, I'll be interested to listen to it again later.
