A1710 Rhum La Perle Brute (50cl, 66%)

A1710 Rhum La Perle Brute is a white rhum agricole from Martinique, bottled at 66% in a 50cl bottle. It is made from the juice of sugar cane grown on a parcel belonging to planter Paul Octave in Saint-Esprit, in southern Martinique, with the cane varieties Noire, Jaune and Pen Epi Lèt. The juice is distilled in La Belle Aline, a copper pot still with a seven-plate column, and bottled undiluted at its natural strength. It is not chill-filtered and contains no colouring. The nose combines fresh sugar cane, ripe fruit and peppery spice. The palate opens softly, with candied mango and hazelnut alongside pronounced sugar cane and a full-bodied texture. The finish is long and clear, leaving peppermint freshness and fine spice.
