Review by Torsten vom Endt
Seit Wochen mal wieder ein guter Rum den ich verkoste. Nicht zu süß und fruchtig. Der französische Still ist und bleibt mein Lieblingsstill. Ein Agricole bestens für Einsteiger geeignet, als Grundlage für Cocktails zu gut.
Review by Mc Pirate
Couleur clair, nez plaisant avec ce houblon l, whisky discret mais présent ! Sucre roux présent également et une gourmandise latente. Bouche puissante et expressive pour ce titrage. Très intéressant parce que différent du nez. Les fruits se dégagent sur la seconde bouche, très interessant. Finale courte m, seche et étrangement âpre sur le végétal
Review by Rum, jazz and cigars
Delicious argicole, great for mixing but also neat. I like it a lot in my el presidente
Review by Galli33
Nothing special here to tell. It‘s a young soft, thin (diluted) agricole and more recommended to beginners. Anyway, you can taste out a lot of various notes. Easy daily rum with a short and unimpressive finish.

Pas assez vieux.
Review by Vincent D
Un HSE plutôt axé sur la gourmandise. C'est sucré, rond, facile à boire. Le boisé martiniquais est là. La canne à sucre toujours présente. Pas le plus grand représentant de l'AOC mais pas désagréable.

Très bien pour les Ti’ vieux et la mixologie :-)

Excellente alternative aux rhums de mélasse, avec le raffinement d'un rhum agricole
Review by Dias Julien
Pour les ti-vieux.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall an tasty and smooth Agricole. It’s a selection of agricole rums aged in new 200 liters American oak casks for 12 to 24 months. HSE is made at the distillery Le Simon which is the same distillery that produces Clement and A1710. From the distillery it’s said: “This rum will delight both in a Ti-Punch as well as in cocktails.”, but I’ve tested it neat and thinks it works well that way.

Légèrement boisé & vanillé, pas très marquant et finale absente
