HSE Blanc

The surprise here is a salty, mineral streak that runs under the fresh sugarcane and citrus — a few tasters found it "unangenehm salzig," a couple liked it exactly for that. Fresh cane, citrus zest, light herbs and a peppery finish make it a natural Ti'Punch base, though some feel it's a bit simple and short on fruit for sipping.

The community says
  • Great in Ti'Punch
  • Fresh citrus cane
  • Keep in mind: Salty, mineral edge

Fresh, salty-mineral agricole built for Ti'Punch Most treat this as a reliable Ti'Punch workhorse. Works neat too, but a few find it saline and lacking fruit; opinion splits on whether that mineral edge is a plus or a flaw.

Since it has a little more oomph 😉 than the white Saint James (RX3635) tasted directly before it, but otherwise also meets my taste, this unaged Agricole also gets one point more from me for its pure performance: 81.

The standard HSE 50 works good neat, which my rating is based on, and works very well in a Ti’Punch. The nose as well as at the palate it’s intense, floral and fruity with a scent/flavor of pepper. During the medium long finish it also shows some ripeness and a flavor of sugarcane.

The HSE did not convince me on the nose. But it was a little surprise on the palate. I like the salty and mineral notes in combination with the typical Agricole notes.

Oh yes, another 1A Caribbean feeling here with this Agricole rum, just as I love it. Again, lemon in citrus fruits on the nose and palate. Tastes very refreshing. Can of course also be used for a Ti Punch.

My RumRatings review from 4 years ago: The rum is very special on the nose. Pure sugarcane juice shoots into the nose. I find it hard to find other aromas there. I'm not at home here. On the palate then the surprise. The rum is pleasantly sweet and the alcohol well integrated. A nice fruit note with some citrus is recognizable. Agricole notes remain for a long time. Not quite suitable for sipping, but possible. A very good rum for mixing and blending. Definitely worth an experience.

I quite like the HSC blanc. On the nose lots of chocolate, coffee but also coffee. On the palate also chocolaty and a hint of vanilla. The rum has a nice natural sweetness. Quite tasty.

Hard to describe but somehow unpleasantly salty, stronger mineral notes than other Agricoles from Martinique. For Ti'Punch I prefer the HSE 55.

Intense fresh cane nose, very floral. On the palate it's also floral with a nice length. It's simple but how good are Ti-Punch 🤤. However, you can find better base whites for Ti-Punch than this HSE 50% which lacks fruity notes and pleasure. It will be better showcased in an arrangé or a planteur.
