"Alcohol too predominant! Slightly woody notes on the palate with chocolate and coffee predominating. It did not excite me!"
"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."
"A1710 est dĂ©cidĂ©ment une distillerie qui a une identitĂ© trĂšs marquĂ©e. Ce rhum a un profil trĂšs particulier. Il me fait trĂšs clairement penser Ă leur blanc "La bĂȘte Ă feu" qui aurait vieilli. Le nez est trĂšs boisĂ© et vĂ©gĂ©tal. Une sensation d'amande. Des esters aussi. Etonnant. En bouche, c'est extrĂȘmement boisĂ©. La vanille, le cafĂ© et le chocolat dĂ©filent tour Ă tour avant que la bouche ne devienne extrĂȘmement piquante. LĂ encore, c'est trĂšs surprenant. Finale qui apporte une jolie amertume. Par un rhum du quotidien mais une superbe dĂ©couverte."
"Un profil audacieux quâon a pas lâhabitude de rencontrer en Martinique. En sortant de lâAOC, A1710 propose quelque chose de trĂšs Ă©lĂ©gant, avec un nez particuliĂšrement doux, pĂątissier et mielleux, gorgĂ© de sucre de canne, saupoudrĂ© de noisettes, aromatisĂ© aux Ă©pices et finement boisĂ©. Câest trĂšs avenant, en particulier pour ceux qui apprĂ©hendent difficilement les profils herbacĂ©s des rhums agricoles. La bouche confirme les impressions du nez : chocolat noir, cafĂ©, Ă©pices, boisĂ© toastĂ©, sucre brĂ»lĂ© et fruits rouges font le show. On a un rhum Ă la fois sec, rond, Ă©lĂ©gant et qui garde une certaine complexitĂ©. Lâalcool est bien intĂ©grĂ© Ă lâensemble. La finale est encore plus marquĂ©e par ce profil chaleureux. Les Ă©pices sont encore plus prĂ©sentes (muscade, piment, poivre) et forment la base avec le chocolat noir, le cafĂ© et le boisĂ© rĂŽti. Une dose de canne Ă sucre, de fruits et un soupçon de notes herbacĂ©es finalisent un profil bien ciselĂ© et bienvenu dans le paysage de Martinique."
