Bete-a-feu-Recto_rhum_A1710_distillerie_martinique

Agricultural and artisan rum

Bête à Feu, our last creation, is a white agricultural rum distilled from single-pressed fresh canes.

The long, hand-cut cane is transported to the three-roll mill of our A 1710 distillery, located at Habitation du Simon in Le François, Martinique. They are pressed only once to extract their nectar.

Distilled in a copper still with a 7-tray column, Bête à Feu is then slowly reduced at 50.9%.

Bête à Feu and Punch Blanc

Bête à Feu, ‘Bêt à Fé’ in Creole and for those in the know or even ‘Luciole’ (firefly) for the more scientifically minded.

In the West Indies and Martinique, the traditional punch Blanc (white punch) is a real institution and an integral part of the regional culture.

If you take it when you wake up, it will be called “decolaj” or “mise à Feu”, while the dry 10 a.m. punch can be called simply “Feu”. At midday, your white punch, this time with a hint of sugar and a squeeze of lemon, can be called “Ti Feu” or “5%* “.

What better than a Bête à Feu to see you through all these tasting experiences?

This white rum combines sweetness for pure tasting, character for a quality white punch and an explosion of flavor to enhance your cocktail.

* ” 5% ” : a small name given to the typical white punch made with 95% white rum and 5% sugar.

Tasting…

Bête à Feu boasts a bright and clear colour.

On the nose, aromas of ripe pressed sugarcane, flowers and luscious tropical fruits evolve into a mineral character underlined by a hint of citrus. A smooth and intense ensemble.

In the mouth, we are transported by floral and fruity flavours combined with cane juice.

A very round rum that delivers a beautiful lingering finish rich in mineral notes.
