Habitation du Simon A1710 La Perle Brute 2017
Agricole geeks who want something off the beaten path will get a kick out of this white from Habitation du Simon. Sugarcane and pineapple sit next to a distinctly savory, "nez de truffe" mushroom-and-earth streak, with a salty, iodized edge. The 66% is well integrated rather than scorching. One taster found it too salty and "compost-like," so it genuinely divides people.
- Unusual truffle notes
- Well-integrated 66%
- Great in Ti Punch
+10

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relatively exhausting salty, bitter and compost-like and for me not convincing ... Has for me rather what of a muddy pineapple that has fallen into mud. Sorry.

Goûté au rhum fest. Un étonnant nez de truffe !
Review by Niels LTAR
Un rhum blanc de chez A1710 qui sort du lot. On retrouve la typicitée des rhums de la distillerie dû à leur distillation, mais des notes de champignons/ de truffes sont très présentes que ce soit au nez ou en bouche. Le tout accompagné d'un pointe légèrement iodée. Les 66° s'intègrent bien, un très beau rhum de dégustation qui change pour moi.

"It's an intense beefy agricole. It works really well mixed in a Ti Punch or a Daiquiri. I even found it great with Ting. Cola not so great. All in all 's a very interesting rhum. One, that perhaps will appeal more to rum geeks than the general population. I..."Read full review →
