Habitation du Simon A1710 Renaissance

Another lovely fruity and spice balanced rum. This one has less wood over it, though its still there in the background.

The bouquet is heady, you can smell it a meter away, a mixture of river antoine and vieux sajous, with notes of ripe and almost estery, tropical fruits, citrus, lychee, corn, seaweed and almost garlic. The palate is warm and brings back the hints perceived on the nose where ripe fruits, vegetables and citrus prevail. In the finish an excellent length, some honeyed and toasted notes with others peppery and metallic. Very good, round and with personality. In the empty glass aged cheese (esters?) and some roasted

Léger déséquilibre avec un nez assez fermé comparativement à la bouche beaucoup plus expressive et à la belle richesse et intensité aromatique. La longueur est soutenue avec de belles notes de canne et d’épices.

Intense nose of fermented cane, olive and freshness. These notes linger on the palate, accompanied by pepper and green cardamom. A touch of iodine intensifies the freshness. The finish is very long on cane and freshness.

This bottle has been sitting in the cellar for almost three years now and that was a good thing! Back then I thought the rum was delicious, but the main reason for buying it was that I liked the bottle so much and I'm really surprised at myself for how long I could leave something so tasty sitting around untouched. But now to the rhum - this agricole is incredibly mild and has mainly metallic-sweet grassy notes in the foreground and the finish has a bit of marzipan and then there's a very subtle fruity chewing gum note. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Fabian from Rumdepot for making me try this rhum - it's a real winner. The alcohol is extremely well integrated here - you can't taste the 52% at all - I instantly have the urge to make a TiPunch with it.
