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.
