Habitation du Simon A1710 Soleil de Minuit Rhum Extraordinaire 2017
Opinions land in a narrow, respectful band: most tasters call it well-made and balanced, but several admit it's forgettable. You get a fresh agricole start that drifts into wood, with citrus, orange, vanilla and light floral notes and a long, not-too-sweet finish. One reviewer summed up the reservation: "Good but very forgettable." A pretty Martinique column-still rum that quietly does its job.
The community says- Nice balance
- Long finish
- Lacks impact

Balanced agricole, well-made but forgettable Most find it balanced and cleanly made, with citrus, wood and a long finish. The recurring catch: it's polished but lacks impact, so it rarely leaves a lasting impression.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by cigares
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.
Review by Maxence
Very nice rum from A1710. Simple profile but does its job correctly. I'm looking forward to see them bottle their own rums.
Review by Djehey
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.

Good but very forgettable. At this price you can do better.
