8.5/10

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 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.

#4476 18.11.2023 Another very nice bottle. Medium fruity with nice roasted wood notes. The palate is warn/spicy with nice herbal notes. The finish is long and spicy with a touch of cherries.

A1710 aus dem Hause Simon. Dieser Rhum stammt von der Insel Martinique. Schöne Aufmachung. Die Nase ist einladend und komplex. Der Geschmack ist leicht süßlich, alkoholisch mit etwas Bleistiftspähne. Hinzu kommen pflanzliche Noten und Gewürze. Der Abgang ist Mittel, mit etwas Konfekt, Zitrusfrüchten, Gewürzen und etwas Bleistiftspähne im Hintergrund. Nicht der typische Agricole und dadurch durchaus interessant.

Nez correct Très bon en bouche, que le caramel et le café. La longueur pourrait être plus longue, mais excellent.

Alcohol too predominant! Slightly woody notes on the palate with chocolate and coffee predominating. It did not excite me!
