The "A1710 Soleil de Minuit Rhum Extraordinaire" is a remarkable blend of 10 different rums, meticulously crafted at the renowned Habitation du Simon distillery in Martinique. This exceptional rum is aged for 20 years in ex-cognac barrels, resulting in a harmonious fusion of dried fruit flavors and a warm cognac undertone. The aroma is a complex blend of nuts, spices, and a hint of woodland, leading to a palate of cherry, wood, and cognac notes. The medium-bodied rum is a testament to the traditional art of rum-making, combining molasses and sugar cane juice in a unique Martinique and Guadeloupe style.
The rums, aged between 6 and 13 years upon arrival at the winery, undergo a two-step blending process. The first blend is aged for 8 weeks in ex-cognac tuns, followed by a second blend in the same tuns for another 8 weeks. The final blend is then stored in 300-liter barrels for an additional 3 months, with a possible slight reduction with Volvic water.
The Soleil de Minuit boasts a rich, complex profile, with spicy molasses, roasted nuts, burnt wood, and a touch of olive. The pastry notes are balanced by medicinal aromas of camphor and bandage softness, while resinous notes of rosemary and pine add depth. The rums from Martinique (AOC) and Guadeloupe are carefully selected for their smoothness and rich aromatic palettes, creating a unique spirit with a warm, sugary aroma that evolves into a honey-infused fruit and agrumess, followed by boisé, vanilla, muscovado sugar, and cacao notes. The finish is long and persistent, with a hint of tannins and cinnamon.
