The A1710 Nuee Ardente 44.7% 700ml rum, originating from the renowned A1710 distillery in Martinique, is an exquisite premium spirit with a unique and captivating flavor profile. At first sip, the rum reveals a delightful sweetness that swiftly transitions into a spiced complexity. The warmth of the spices is balanced by a sun-soaked woodiness that envelops the palate. The woody character is resinous and exotic, with hints of molasses and a slight torrefaction, reminiscent of cacao beans.
This rum undergoes a meticulous two-part aging process. Initially aged for 8 weeks in ex-cognac casks, it is then transferred to the same type of casks for an additional 8 weeks. Following this, the rum rests for a further 3 months, potentially undergoing a light reduction with Volvic water. The final product is a blend of rums aged between 6 and 13 years in French oak ex-cognac casks, with an additional aging period of 2 to 4 years. These casks are housed in a warehouse oriented towards the mountain, providing protection from trade winds and creating a temperature variation of 19% at night and 40% during the day.
As the rum matures, the oak casks gradually reveal concentrated fruit flavors, initially evoking ripe fruits with a honey-like thickness. Over time, these flavors become enriched with fused tannins and an array of spices. The result is a sophisticated and well-balanced rum, characterized by its sweet and spiced profile, dominant woody flavors, and a finish reminiscent of ripe fruits and multiple spices.
The unique flavor profile of A1710 Nuee Ardente 44.7% 700ml comes from its detailed two-part aging process and the use of carefully selected French oak ex-cognac casks. The interaction with these casks imparts a rich blend of sweet, spiced, and woody flavors.
