Description

Immerse yourself in the rich history of HSE rums with this vintage, which has been meticulously aged for over 5 years in the purest tradition. Its unique finishing process sets this rum apart, spending nearly a year in Château La Tour Blanche barrels, adding a distinct character to its flavour profile.

Tasting Notes:

The expressive, gentle nose opens with acacia honey and passion fruit notes. After a few seconds of aeration, aromas of candied apricot and fig emerge, enhanced with gingerbread. The mouth, with a captivating roundness, reveals sublime honeyed notes of dried fruits and muscat before offering a beautiful finish of orange peel. It is an extraordinary experience that will delight lovers of rare products.

About The Producer

Habitation Saint-Etienne (HSE) was one of the main Martinique sugar factories during the 19th century. Converted as other sugar factories into a Rhum Agricole distillery at the end of the 19th century, its distillery activities were ended in 1988. Rum is since distilled at the Simon distillery not far from the Francois village. Blending, maturing, and barrel aging activities are still conducted at the Habitation Saint-Etienne domain. The AOC Rhum Agricole de la Martinique restricts production to the short best season for the cane to pack aromas, compels that all and only the fresh juice of the cane be used, contrary to 95% of the world rums using the left-overs (Molasses, stalks) of the sugar refining industry. Agricole Rum belongs to the world of cognac or Armagnac, whereas Traditional Rum (also known as Industrial) is in the grappa/pomace world. Habitation St Etienne is famous for its Strong Bourbon cask finish but for its unusual cask finish in Islay, Pedro Jimenez, Oloroso, and Sauternes.
