RHUM A1710 - La Perle Brute - Vintage 2022 - Paul Octave Cane - 66%
The A1710 distillery, a true gem of Martinican craftsmanship, is located on the Habitation du Simon, in François, in the heart of a sugarcane landscape swept by the trade winds and open to the Atlantic. Both an artisanal and independent house, A1710 stands out for its production of micro-cuvées, conceived as true works of goldsmithing, benefiting from full traceability, from the cane field to the bottle. The production of its rums is based on the exclusive use of pure freshly pressed cane juice, slowly fermented, then distilled in a Charentais copper still, hybridized with a column with plates, a rare and sought-after technical feat in the world of premium agricole rum. The A1710 philosophy values the planters, the Martinican terroirs, and historic partnerships, exemplified by the alliance woven with Mr. Paul Octave, an essential figure of the island's south. Each cuvée thus marks the exploration of a specific terroir, a unique cane variety, and an exceptional vintage, contrary to anonymous blends. La Perle Brute now stands as the most authentic and radical expression of this vision: an exceptional white agricole rum, designed to reveal the aromatic purity of the cane.
La Perle Brute Vintage 2022 Paul Octave Cane 66% is a raw white agricole rum from distillation, bottled without dilution to preserve the intensity and richness of the heart of the distillation. The canes, from a plot located between hills and ravines in the commune of Saint Esprit, are carefully cultivated by Mr. Paul Octave, an emblematic partner of the distillery. This vintage is distinguished by a blend of traditional Noire, Jaune, and Pen Epi Lèt canes, known for their sugar concentration and exceptional aromatic potential. After controlled pressing, the juice ferments under strict temperature control to reveal the full aromatic palette of the terroir, then it is distilled in the copper still equipped with the seven-plate column "La Belle Aline," ensuring optimal selection of the best vapors. The rum then rests in stainless steel tanks to develop harmoniously before being bottled raw at 66%, in an ultra-limited edition. This rare cuvée will delight discerning enthusiasts seeking a singular white tasting rum, vintage dated and completely faithful to the authenticity of the Martinican terroir. Available exclusively at Clos des Spiritueux, your reference for exceptional spirits.
On tasting, La Perle Brute 2022 opens with a clear, crystalline robe, with an intense nose, surprisingly welcoming even at this strength, expressing fresh cane, candied mango, exotic fruits, enhanced by peppery, aniseed, and subtly mentholated notes. On the palate, the attack is smooth before a perfectly controlled power sets in, carried by a dense body where ripe mango, delicate hazelnut, and pure, intense cane juice mingle. The ample and silky texture, almost oily, is supported by a spicy framework and a subtle salinity that brings balance and freshness. The finish, long and vibrant, reveals persistent notes of peppermint, white spices, and bright cane, an incomparable signature of this exceptional cuvée.
La Perle Brute 2022 is best enjoyed neat, slightly chilled, for a meditative tasting highlighting all the richness and complexity of this great Martinican terroir. Perfect in a dry and taut ti punch, in a high-end daiquiri, or in tropical mixology creations for exclusive cocktails, it also makes a sensation at the table: pair it with fish ceviche, sea bream or tuna carpaccios, refined Creole cuisine, grilled seafood, or fresh goat or sheep cheeses.
