Steve, you're doing a fine job with these 'all you need to know' videos. Learning heaps, heaps good.
Glad you like them! Cheers for watching!
That was awesome!
Congratulations Steve, a good summary of a very complex subject.
I would only add a couple of additional bits of info, which I think may be relevant to other viewers especially those new to the delights of Agricole.
La Favourite is perhaps best described as Martiniques answer to St Nicholas Abbey on Barbados. Its a very small distillery which uses some very old fashined technology to produce an Artisan rhum. I don't believe thier rhums have ever been distributed in the UK. Thier rhums are however very highly regarded by us Caneheads.
A1710 is the very much "the new kid on the block" and again I don't belive any of its Rhums are avalible in the UK except occasionally at auction. As you say for various technical reasons they do not produce AOC compliant rhums, although I have heard different versions as to what they are trying to do.
Certainly the A1710 Rhums I have tried have been very close to a classic Agricole de Martinique so I am not sure they are necessarily trying to "break the mold" but rather sumply do something slightly different.
Definitely agree with you on that. My brother offered a fancy bottle of what you said the fancy stuff was aoc vsop whatever. I made him send it back and get me a rhum agricole with tasting notes i wanted. I was happy
Thank you for breaking down a ton of information into digestible bits. Looking forward to tasting videos on (hopefully) several of these.
Steve As you say Agricole is not a GI however it is a "protected designation" under EU law. I can dig out the full legal text. However from memory the EU rules covering the sale and labelling of Rum in EU specify that the term Agricole or Agricola can only be used on spirit produced in the French Overseas Departments and (in the case of Agicola) the island of Madeira.
So while Husk is not in contravention of the Martinique AOC its use of the term is I belive technically in breach of EU rules for and products sold in the EU
Thanks for the video... Trois-Rivières rum are in my favorites
It's such a fascinating subject. I literally just did a reel on it myself last week. The Rhums are damn delicious as well!
I‘ll be traveling to Martinique in about two months (so much looking forward to drinking rum again after an almost complete 9 months break) and this is a great preparation for the trip! Great video.
Never heard of A1710, will definitely look into that as well.
But you missed the distillery that’s big part of the reason why I made room for a few days on Martinique in my travel itinerary: Baie des Tresors. It’s an absolut must that you look a bit further into that. They produce some incredible stuff!
Hi Steve, Great video, You explained very well a complex subject but 2 mains incorrections:
1.Clément is definitely produced by Usine du Simon + a part of the Rhum J.M production (Usine du Simon is the 2nd largest producer on the Island).
HSE is produced there as well.
According to the European Legislation ONLY Rhums produced in Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guyane, La Réunion and Madeira can be labelled Rhum Agricole.
Curious name "Trois Rivieres" by Duquesne. I wonder if it has anything to do with Pittsburgh, PA? Hear me out on this as I promise I am not bonkers. During the French and Indian War (Seven Years War 1754-1763), the convergence of three rivers (Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio) was deep in the frontier and strategically important. The Brits -- and we lowly colonists -- established Fort Pitt there which was eventually overrun by the French from Canada and renamed Fort Duquesne. Furthermore, "three rivers" and "Duquesne" are terms frequently associated with Pittsburgh to this day: Duquesne University and Three Rivers Stadium are prime examples. BTW we pronounce it du kane here in the USA, but I have no idea how the French say it.
I thought the same thing when I visited the distillery many years ago but the name predates the Seven Years War by about 100 years. But you're not bonkers.
😊😊😊
I'm curious now, what cognac are you referring to?
Obvs not a Cognac… 😇😂
@@StevetheBarmanUK It's Pierre Ferrand Renegade Barrel Eau de Vie, in'st it?
duquesne is pronounced DEW-CAINE.
Whores de age?! Old pros? Blimey Steve, these French love their rules! Would love it if you had done this video in French! Va va voom... 😜
I tried mate! I tried...
