The A1710 Diamond Rock 50.5% 700ml is a white rum distilled from freshly pressed, single-harvested cane grown in the scenic Martinique region. This remarkable rum is produced at the A1710 distillery, located in the historic Habitation du Simon. The cane is meticulously harvested by hand and distilled in a traditional copper alembic still with a seven-plate column. This careful process results in a distillate that boasts a round, peppery attack accompanied by fresh, green vegetal notes. Hints of fermented cane juice, cooked vegetables, and a touch of sweetness reminiscent of ripe cane and caramelized sugar add to its complex profile.
As the rum aerates, it unveils a lighter character with ethereal notes of nectarine and melon, followed by the enticing aromas of mango and guava. The interplay of the cane's green and mature aspects creates a tender, fleshy texture, enhanced by a vegetal rind that is plump and confit, subtly accentuated with a touch of pepper.
This versatile rum is suitable for both cocktails and sipping, making it a delightful addition to any liquor collection. Its unique production process, combined with high-quality ingredients, makes the A1710 Diamond Rock 50.5% 700ml a standout choice for those who appreciate the nuanced complexities of premium white rums.
The aroma profile is characterized by freshness, with notes of lime, tropical fruits, honey, floral aromas, and a hint of cardamom.
The taste is predominantly sweet, featuring flavors of pineapple, anise, citrus, bergamot, and a hint of fruit schnapps, complemented by green fruits and spices like cardamom and sugarcane.
The finish is bittersweet, with lingering notes of bitter herbs, citrus, grass, nuttiness, and sugarcane.
Yes, the A1710 Diamond Rock 50.5% 700ml is versatile enough to be enjoyed both in cocktails and as a sipping rum.
The A1710 distillery is located in the Habitation du Simon in Martinique.
Overall: A complex and sweet rum with vibrant tropical fruit and floral notes, backed by a touch of bittersweet complexity in the finish.
The nose of the A1710 Diamond Rock 50.5% 700ml is mineral, flowery, and honeyed with tropical fruits, but some reviewers find the ester quite aggressive, which can overshadow the aromatic profile. On the palate, the rum is frank and clear on sugar cane, with a rather herbaceous profile reminiscent of brandy-schnapps. The finish is lengthy but slightly bitter, which some find less pleasant. While there are better white rums at this price point, this rum still has its unique charm with notes of honeydew melon, lychee, and a hint of anise. The vegetal side, sugar cane, and citrus fruit notes are more enjoyable on the palate than on the nose, though the finish is somewhat short and alcohol-forward. Overall, it's a rum that might not excel in value but offers intriguing and complex flavors for those willing to explore its depths.
