RHUM A1710 - Exceptional White Rum - La Perle - Vintage 2024 - 54.5% | Clos des Spiritueux
The A1710 distillery, a true gem of Martinique, is located on the Habitation du Simon in Le François, on the Atlantic coast, nestled between sugarcane fields and mangroves caressed by the trade winds. This family-run artisanal house focuses on small-batch productions, highlighting pure freshly pressed cane juice, sourced from meticulously selected and hand-harvested agriculture. The canes are immediately transported to the mill to preserve the aromatic integrity of the juice. A1710 stands out with a unique distillation process, combining a copper pot still with a small distillation column, a very rare combination that guarantees white rums of remarkable precision and elegance. Each batch is carefully numbered, bottled, and finished on-site, following an ethical approach of traceability and full transparency. La Perle embodies the distillery's emblematic cuvée, a true ambassador of the A1710 style, combining intensity, finesse, and length on the palate.
La Perle Vintage 2024 at 54.5% is an exceptional agricole white rum, made exclusively from pure fresh cane juice, carefully harvested plot by plot for its superior aromatic richness. After pressing, the juice ferments slowly under strict temperature control, promoting the development of complex aromas while preserving the fresh vegetal character of the cane. Distillation, carried out in the house’s famous copper pot still and column, produces a heart of the run of rare delicacy. The choice of a high bottling strength at 54.5% enhances the structure and purity of the distillate, while offering power and balance during tasting. True to A1710’s artisanal and authentic philosophy, no sugar or additives are added: only the purest expression of the Martinican terroir and cane is expressed, for the pleasure of purists. This 2024 vintage seduces with its masterful balance between aromatic intensity, tension, and elegance, ideal both for connoisseurs of fine tasting rums and mixologists seeking excellence.
On the palate, La Perle Vintage 2024 reveals a clear, bright robe, inviting exploration of an intense nose dominated by crisp fresh cane, lemongrass, lime zest, and fine herbaceous notes. Upon aeration, the bouquet enriches with subtle hints of white pepper, white flowers, cane sugar, and a slight iodized touch recalling the maritime influence. On the palate, the attack is lively and energetic, brought by the 54.5% strength which gives the rum an intense but perfectly controlled amplitude. The cane expresses itself in a juicy and crystalline freshness, traversed by nuances of citrus, very fresh stone fruits, and fine spices. The texture, vibrant and persistent, reveals a perfectly integrated alcohol, ensuring length and pleasure without ever harshing the palate. The finish, very long, saline and clean, offers a lingering return to cane, citrus, and a noble bitterness, inviting each time for another sip. Enjoyed neat, slightly chilled, La Perle 2024 asserts itself as a great contemplative rum, also capable of enhancing a premium ti-punch, a dry daiquiri, or accompanying iodized and spicy gastronomy. Enjoy the excellence of a high-end white rum signed A1710, available at Clos des Spiritueux, the reference for exceptional spirits and controlled-origin rums.
