Several tasters say it drinks older than its three years — a young agricole already well marked by wood. Expect fresh sugarcane, honey and vanilla, then a lively hit of black pepper, cinnamon and clove, with a lightly toasted oak underneath. Bourbon-cask aging rounds it off. One reviewer notes it "needs to rest to really open up" in the glass.
The community says- Honey and spice
- Tastes older
- Keep in mind: Heavy clove/cinnamon

How does A1710 Cheval Bondieu taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Spicy, honeyed young agricole with toasted oak Most find it expressive and rounded for its age, balancing spice and toasted oak with honey. A couple feel the cinnamon and clove run heavy, and price comes up as a sore point.

#5002 27.12.2024 Enjoying a few samples at home while watching Harry Potter Baking Competition. Nose Medium intense, light wood, light glue, fruity, cinnamon, ginger, sweet, light chocolate. Palate Light wood, sugarcane, vanilla, light chocolate, fruity, light citrus, light honey, light berries. Finish Medium to long, medium spicy, sugarcane, spice, light chocolate, light citrus, light roasted. Needs to rest to really open up! The empty glass has light coffee, faint caramel, light peach and nutts.

First rum of A1710 from their own cane.it's nice but still very young.on the whole, in the nose, in the mouth, I find it too much in the spices.... And yet I like it! The cinnamon and the clove are too present, too bad... On the whole it's good despite everything but I note it severely because of the price that I find exorbitant compared to the quality of the other distilleries in Martinique.
Review by Vincent D
On the nose, the cane is still very present in this rather young rum, yet already well marked by wood. Lots of nice things: pastry, floral, woody. With a fresh, sandalwood-like scent. This is confirmed on the palate with a very smooth rum. Pleasant vanilla appears before the pepper adds a lively spiciness. A fine bottle!
Review by TheJackDrop
Very complex, lots of flavours, you appreciate the second one even more...! To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Gingerbread, Honeyed On the palate: Fruity, Sugarcane, Vanilla, Blackcurrant Finish: Clove
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Amber (old?) of very good quality but at a crazy price! 20% more expensive than a Neisson profile 105, for example. And sincerely the wood was not very well melted. At 60 euros yes at 99€ no thanks.
Review by Czech Rum porter
I was expecting a strong intoxicating aroma, like La Perla, but aging in bourbon barrels has done its job and completely changes the profile. A perfectly balanced, round and very mature rhum

Review by Niels LTAR
One of the best wood-aged rums for me. Frankly, it's much older than advertised on the label. A very gourmand rum with spices and honey. There's a lovely, lightly toasted woodiness, notes of spices, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar cane, a little power, but just the right amount of roundness thanks to the honey. A real success for such a young rum.
Review by Mathieu Bgd
A very expressive rum despite its young age. Very easy to drink.
Review by Niko
Nice success this rum "rested" under wood. Good spicy/woody balance 🙂
Review by Benoit Bail
An excellent aged under wood. Of great quality.
Review by Jacques etdom
Very, very good for its young age. You can smell the cane, the woodiness, the pepper, the smokiness and the lime. Excellent for its age, really. The price is high though, otherwise I'd have given it a 9.
Review by JB
Very fragrant, full of flavor and long in the mouth. Very pleasant
