Sip this neat and the first thing you notice is candy — butterscotch, caramel, baked apple with nutmeg over a soft agricole base. At 46% the alcohol sits easy, maybe too easy: several tasters wished for more punch and a longer finish, which cuts off short. The candied side splits people. Some love the sweetness on this aged Martinique agricole; one member found it "too much candy" for the style.
The community says- Butterscotch nose
- Easy at 46%
- Less suitable for: purists wanting earthy, high-proof agricole grip

The look inside the bottle
How does HSE Small Cask 2016 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Candied, soft aged Martinique agricole Well-liked at around 8/10, with one recurring gripe: it drinks soft and the finish drops off fast. Agricole purists wanting more earth and grip may find it too sweet-natured.

#7046 14.97.2026 Relaxing after a tough walking day. First a fast walk to work and then an extended even faster walk home. Watching the TV Series "Last Woodsmen" on HBS. Very nice rum with a good price tag at release. Well balanced profile with fruits, spice, wood, honey and light smoke.

Good bottle, very smooth but a bit too reduced for me. Very short length.
Review by Rhumakase
Nose of honey and citrus (orange), a bit of vanilla, a bit vegetal. Very indulgent mouth on citrus and tropical fruits, honey, vanilla, a bit of sugarcane, caramel, light pepper. Good indulgent length. Very good!

Brussels Rhum Festival 15/03/2025 Earthy agricole notes, but i'm not a big fan of too much candy notes in a agricole rum. This was too much candy for me. Not bad not great.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
15/03/25: tasted @ Brussels Rhum Festival. I liked this Agricole rhum. Lots of candy notes on the nose and the palate was also quite tasty. ABV of 46% is OK, but would have liked it a bit higher since the finish was rather short.
Review by Adrien B
Super glouglou. Very round citrus nuts
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2016. I rate it 8.6 out of 10, excellent rum that ranks high even among my more than 1,300 ratings.
