Opinions land here: some tasters find it well-balanced with dried plum, warm spice and a Christmassy cinnamon edge, while others call it a little thin and short on character. It's a dry, fairly woody agricole from cane juice, cask-marked but still young. The nose leans on candied fruit; the palate turns spicy and oaky, sometimes losing the fruit along the way.

Dry, woody agricole with dried-fruit spice Well-made, dry, spice-and-oak-driven agricole with dried-fruit notes. Several enjoy the balance; others feel it lacks power and a real signature to set it apart.

Tasted at the 11th GRF: More exciting than, for example, the XO and quite drinkable. For me, however, is also missing here a unique selling proposition or something character that sets it apart from the mass of Agricoles!

Schooner relaxed HSE. Lacks a bit of power.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A small cask with selective but concentrated aromas. Notes of fruit and dried fruit blend well with spices and chocolate. This greediness continues on the palate with notes of plums. The finish remains selective in aroma but intense on the palate. A fine success for a relatively young profile.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Tasted at the 11th GRF: better than the standard XO. More body, more aromas. Still couldn't convince me.
Review by Benoit Mahe
A fairly young rum, but well marked by the cask. The profile is very spicy. The fruit on the nose is not present on the palate, which is a pity, as it lacks a little of the gourmandise. The texture is pleasant.
Review by Christoph
Dry and quite woody Agricole with beautiful Christmas notes (including cinnamon)
Review by Alexander Rasch
Tried it at the 13th GRF. I liked it very much. Classic agricole notes with a good hint of barrel influence. Very well balanced. Couldn't quite keep up with the RX20256 in terms of intensity and complexity.
Review by Thunderbird
On the GRF11 three rum from HSE tasted against each other! Craft they are all well done, but for me personally they are all too flat and little expressive!
Review by GuybrushThreepwood
Solid. Dried fruits. I quite like it. Aftertaste a bit too woody.
Review by Julien Jean'Mich
The nose is clearly focused on candied fruits such as prunes, but also a little vanilla and sweet spices that come a little later. The palate is dry and mellows after a few seconds, with spices and wood coming to the fore. The finish is moderately long but very pleasant, with the woodiness lingering in the mouth. A rum I recommend for its very good value for money, hse offers us a fine experience both on the nose and on the palate. Leave to rest in the glass for a while for the best experience. Once the glass is empty, it gives off a sublime aroma for a long time to come.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2014. With 8.3 out of 10 it is a very good bottle, although not the top of my ranking.
