Most tasters land in the same place: this is a rich, cognac-leaning blend where the former cognac barrels really show. Prune and dried fruit lead, then green fig leaf and baking spice — cinnamon, clove, nutmeg — over a round, almost oily body with a dry, rancio edge. One reviewer called it "superbement équilibré." A few felt the price didn't match the glass.

How does A1710 Soleil de Minuit Rhum Extraordinaire 2020 taste?
Summarized by AI from 17 community reviews.
Cognac-cask rum, prune and warm spice Widely liked for its balance and cognac-cask character — dried fruit, spice and light wood. A couple of members thought it good but not worth what it costs.

Had a very nice evening out while in Rostock. Stralsund isn't that far away and the only problem was getting back to my hotel in Rostock. This is a nice rum worth every penny in my mind. This nose has dried fruit and spices to it followed by cognac, nuts and light wood. The palate is warm, complex and well balanced with fruits, spices, wood and light cognac. The finish is medium long and warm with dried fruit and light wood.

Soleil de Minuit is a complex blend of 10 different rums. AOC rums from Martinique and both cane juice and molasses rum from Guadeloupe, so it’s not an Agricole. A 1710 is aged and blended at the Le Simon distillery in Martinique. The total aging is between 6 and 20 years for the 2020 bottling I review here. The final aging is made in former cognac barrels which is clearly recognizable during tasting.
Review by Kéké
Fruity, balanced, quite soft and round, almost sweet. Good but too expensive for what it is, bad value for money.
Review by David A
The prune is marked right from the attack, candied, intense and almost liqueur-like. Evolution towards vegetal notes: fig leaf, green wood. Rise of spices: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg. Round, almost oily texture, with well-integrated warmth. Slight astringency evoking an old dry sherry or the rancio of a cognac. Light finish in direct sensation, but aromatically persistent. Return of dried prune, noble wood, and discreet salinity. Length more aromatic than tactile, soft but tenacious.
Review by Jacques etdom
Fruity rum and superbly balanced. A beautiful nose, a nice finesse on the palate. A beautiful product.
Review by Fifou
Very different from the other a1710. More of the grilled and smoky side stands out. Very good experience.
