RHUM A1710 - La Perle Rare - Organic Red Cane 2021 - 54.2%
The prestigious history of the Assier family in Martinique begins in 1710 when Jean Assier, a young lawyer from Montpellier, arrives on the island to serve in the office of Governor Phélypeaux. Several centuries later, his direct heir, Yves Assier de Pompignan, initiates an ambitious and passionate project: the creation of an exceptional rum distillery embodying the unique richness of the Martinican terroir and the ancestral tradition of the Antilles. The acquisition of the Habitation du Simon, ideally located in the heart of one of the most qualitative terroirs, combined with Yves Assier's genuine passion for his homeland, allows him to steadfastly build a rum brand combining excellence, artisanal know-how, and modern innovation.
In 2010, the project takes shape with the launch of a rigorous selection of exceptional aged rums intended for noble and balanced blends. A sophisticated aging cellar is installed, notably equipped with barrels made from wood formerly used for Cognac, as well as a state-of-the-art analysis laboratory within the Habitation itself. The first vintages, aged 6 to 11 years, are then refined in 320-liter French oak barrels, promoting slow and harmonious aging. At the same time, the quest for a distillation method combining tradition and innovation leads Yves Assier to choose a massive copper Charentais still equipped with a seven-plate distillation column to enhance the aromas. The fermentation process, controlled thanks to temperature-regulated vats, guarantees long and slow fermentations to extract the best aromatic potential from the cane juices. After rigorous administrative procedures, the distillery obtains its official authorization on December 31, 2015, paving the way for the unique production of Agricultural Rums. Installed in a magnificent 18th-century sugar purging house at the heart of the estate, the distillery was inaugurated in December 2016 by Yves Assier de Pompignan and his dedicated team.
The A1710 Rums are produced according to impeccable organic farming principles, from sugar canes grown on a plot cultivated without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or any synthetic products. This exceptional terroir hosts the cultivation of two rare cane varieties: the famous "Blue Cane" and the precious "Purple Cane", symbols of purity and authenticity.
This exclusive edition of La Perle Rare is meticulously crafted from red canes (R579), grown under certified organic farming, guaranteeing a rum with intense, deep, and refined flavors.
