Habitation du Simon A1710 Bête à feu 2021
Don't expect the usual grassy agricole here — this white leans fruity, with pineapple, banana candy and citrus over the sugarcane and floral notes. One taster called it "not the typical grassy agricole," and several were floored by the nose. At 50.9% the alcohol sits well once it rests. A few find it a touch dry and rough, and it truly shines in a ti-punch.
The community says- Intense fruity nose
- Great ti-punch base
- Slightly dry finish

Review by Timo Groeger
Wow, I really like this Fire Beast right now. We have a really fresh, floral and herbal rum here. Sugar cane and citrus fruits are also recognizable. It kind of reminds me of a Clairin.

Retasting this one and I stick to my score. Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money with this release. A very fresh rum with nice fruits and floral notes. ABV has been integrated really well, just let it rest for a while before giving it a go! The empty glass has stronger notes of cherry and fresh grass notes.
Review by ccajerem
👃 this is in my opinion the A1710 rum closest to an AOC agricole Martinique. It is therefore less marginal.Vegetal nose, notes of lime, 🍋 and earthy notes. 👄 lime, 🍋, peppery notes. Nice aromatic intensity.Can be drunk as much neat as in ti-punch.Great value for money.

Un rhum blanc proche de la perfection. Il n'a pas besoin d'artifice pour le savourer. Long en et un goût unique

Nez très intense sur le fruit exotique , bonbon banane avec un léger côté iodé Bouche très aromatique sur la banane et le sucre candy
Review by TheJackDrop
"A little dry/brute but very fruity. In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Vegetal, Fresh, Citrus fruit In the mouth: Fruity Finish: Peppery, Citrus". Not my favorite, but it's still good.
Review by Pavel Spacek
That nose! OMG - that nose is amazing!
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Machine à tipunch! Moins intéressant en dégustation pure.
Review by Korkennase🥃
The longer the rhum breathes, the more complex it becomes. The glory is fine bubbly in the glass. The taste is intense with some fruit. The finish is medium and somewhat dry. This rhum is what for connoisseurs and differs from the usual Ruhms from the island of Martinique,you can drink well as an aperitif or digestive. As Ti Punch the mineral and citrus notes come out.
Review by Double Barrel
Despite its nice floral/fruity side, its white pepper/végétal counterpart, and a nice texture, there are still too many flaws for the premium category for me. Still that curious smell of gaz and swamps and the metallic touch that are often to be found in the A1710 white rhums. OK for the ti punches! For a good quality/price ratio i prefer the Engenhos do Norte Pot Still Limited Release, 20€ at any online portuguese shop.
