HSE Cuvée de l'an 2018

Ti punch drinkers, this one's aimed at you. A white agricole built on fresh sugarcane, lime and light citrus, with a peppery kick and a round, almost oily body at 50%. Several French members call it the ideal ti punch rum, and a couple rate the 2012 and 2016 cuvées a touch richer. One taster wished it hadn't been diluted so far.

The community says
  • Fresh cane & lime
  • Round oily body
  • Keep in mind: Short finish

A good agricole that shouldn't have been diluted. tl;dr: Very pleasant vegetal taste that just ends abruptly and the mild taste of the water comes up.

Great value for money but, in my opinion, below the more indulgent 2012 and 2016 cuvées. For superior quality ti punch, it’s the ideal rum.

Lime, citrus, light pepper. Very balanced, creamy and round. A bit less good than the 2016 but goes extremely well in ti punch.
