Agricole fans who enjoy higher-ABV, oak-heavy rums with cocoa, coffee and spice rather than pure grassy cane notes.

A rum tasted at Rhum Fest in 2024. The nose is marked by citrus fruits, especially lemon, with darker, honeyed notes balancing out the rest. The palate is initially marked by alcohol, then fruit and vegetal notes take over. Unfortunately, the finish is too short, but the empty glass is splendid.
Auto-translatedA1710 est décidément une distillerie qui a une identité très marquée. Ce rhum a un profil très particulier. Il me fait très clairement penser à leur blanc "La bête à feu" qui aurait vieilli. Le nez est très boisé et végétal. Une sensation d'amande. Des esters aussi. Etonnant. En bouche, c'est extrêmement boisé. La vanille, le café et le chocolat défilent tour à tour avant que la bouche ne devienne extrêmement piquante. Là encore, c'est très surprenant. Finale qui apporte une jolie amertume. Par un rhum du quotidien mais une superbe découverte.
Un profil audacieux qu’on a pas l’habitude de rencontrer en Martinique. En sortant de l’AOC, A1710 propose quelque chose de très élégant, avec un nez particulièrement doux, pâtissier et mielleux, gorgé de sucre de canne, saupoudré de noisettes, aromatisé aux épices et finement boisé. C’est très avenant, en particulier pour ceux qui appréhendent difficilement les profils herbacés des rhums agricoles. La bouche confirme les impressions du nez : chocolat noir, café, épices, boisé toasté, sucre brûlé et fruits rouges font le show. On a un rhum à la fois sec, rond, élégant et qui garde une certaine complexité. L’alcool est bien intégré à l’ensemble. La finale est encore plus marquée par ce profil chaleureux. Les épices sont encore plus présentes (muscade, piment, poivre) et forment la base avec le chocolat noir, le café et le boisé rôti. Une dose de canne à sucre, de fruits et un soupçon de notes herbacées finalisent un profil bien ciselé et bienvenu dans le paysage de Martinique.
A very good rum. Its age is surprising as an aperitif. A fine reference from the A1710 distillery.
