A 1710 Renaissance 2022 is a pure cane juice rum from Martinique. It is produced by Habitation du Simon, in the commune of Le François.
Like the 2021 vintage, this Renaissance cuvée is the fruit of unique craftsmanship. The freshly cut cane is crushed the same day. The pure cane juice undergoes a long fermentation lasting 5 to 6 days, using oenological yeasts. Next comes distillation in a copper alembic equipped with a small column and nicknamed "La Belle Aline".
The rum then spends a few days in ex-cognac oak barrels.
Like all A1710 cuvées, bottling is done by hand, and the decanters are numbered.
Nico's tasting notes
On the nose, this rum is as fresh as it is generous, splashing us with fresh cane and juicy citrus. The sugarcane juice is naturally herbaceous and vegetal, yet ripe and sweet enough to inspire gourmandise.
Aeration brings out very ripe citrus fruit, even past its peak of ripeness. The fermented side of vesou drinks in this sweet acidity, giving us a very authentically tropical character.
On the palate, the rum's character is once again very authentic, with multi-faceted herbaceous vegetation, from chlorophyll green to rosemary resin, to sweet, candied aromatic herbs. The sweet cane then sets in, encouraged by a pinch of pepper.
The finish is more typical of Martinique rhum agricole, with a slightly sour touch of fermentation and a hint of lime peel.
"A cuvée with personality, thanks to a very rich, multi-faceted cane..."
