Another superb HSE. How good it is! The nose opens with very fruity and sweet notes. Then the woody and vanilla framework of aged agricoles. Also some cocoa. Dried fruits. On the palate, superb evolution. We go from fruity notes to darker and bitter aspects (wood, coffee). A very soft prune. It moves, it changes but it's always incredibly well balanced and very elegant. Finish of the same kind. A bit of pepper and a pleasant sensation of sweet fruit, like candy apple. Superb.

Bought directly from HSE when I was on a mission in Martinique. Excellent, rich in empyreumatic aromas and fruity flavors. One of my favorites.

Le Simon is Martinique's ghostwriter. It is the island's most technologically advanced distillery, yet it sells no rum under its own name, runs no public tours, and ages nothing on site. Instead it distils two of the most beloved names in Martinique agricole, HSE and, until recently, Clement, on stills moved here from their original homes. What you taste as HSE is, in fact, Le Simon.
