Habitation du Simon A1710 Soleil de Minuit Rhum Extraordinaire 2017
Highly praised for its balance, freshness and controlled alcohol, with a smooth shift from fruity citrus to elegant wood and tobacco. A well-crafted, characterful agricole that many find quietly impressive.
Agricole fans who like a refined, medium-strength sipper with clean cane juice character, citrusy fruit, vanilla and gentle oak rather than big funk or heavy sweetness.

How does this rum taste?
Balanced, fresh agricole elegance
If you enjoy balanced, citrusy agricoles like aged Neisson or Clement but want a slightly softer 46% sipper, this fits well—elegant, well-made, but not a showstopper funk bomb.
Drinkers chasing high-ABV power, intense funk, or very expressive aromas, and value hunters expecting standout complexity at a premium price point.

Thinking about the name of this rum I think it matches pretty well. It may show you the midnight sun if you drink it around that tone of day. I would have preferred a higher ABV, but it still does its magic. Fruity and sweet with nice floral notes supported by some wood and spices. I made a note that the empty glass had some chocolate and spices.
Un rhum dégusté dans une boutique. Un nez agricole assez complexe avec un alcool bien contenu. Une bouche avec des fruits dont des agrumes et un côté végétal intéressant avec même des fleurs. Une finale un peu courte mais équilibrée. Un beau rhum tres bien fait, mais il lui manque quelque chose qui donne de l’émotion.
Very nice rum from A1710. Simple profile but does its job correctly. I'm looking forward to see them bottle their own rums.
Regouté. Un bel équilibre a été trouvé avec ce rhum. Profil frais au début puis passe lentement vers des arômes plus boisé avec une belle longueur en bouche. Les arômes manquent d'impact ce qui le rend peu remarquable.
