8.4/10

Excellente impression dès le nez avec des notes vanilles toastés, caramélisé et un aspect boisé élégant. On retrouve en bouche toutes ces notes de dessert vanillés et de caramel avec une belle finesse. L’alcool est présent mais bien intégré il n’est pas mou et pas du tout agressif. En finale on garde ce côté boisé torréfié avec l’arrière goût d’un café bien torréfié. La salive monte et on a envie d’y replonger!

We had a go at several HSE today and I'm a bit tipsy from it.

A very pleasant VSOP rum. Woody, spicy and fruity notes blend well together. The palate continues in the same vein, very supple and smooth. The same spicy, fruity and woody notes return on the finish. A good reference for VSOPs.

Very well matured Agricole. Anyone who smokes cigars will love this rum. Doesn't really taste like matured agricole at first. Quite woody and spicy, few grassy notes.

7.8/10

A beautiful HSE Reserve Speciale with 45%. It really surprised me in a positive way. Beautiful nose consisting of wood, spices and vanilla. The palate is also woody, but it's very spicy here too, with vanilla and chocolate adding a little sweetness. Really okay.
