Aroma visualization from community tastings
HSE chêne français 2007
One of the best HSE agricoles the members here have tasted — that's the recurring line. The nose pulls in tropical fruit, citrus and vanilla with a waxed-wood note several French tasters single out; the palate leans woody with soft spice and a long, dry finish. At 50.8% it bites a little neat, so a drop of water helps the fruit come through.
The community says- Long dry finish
- Waxed-wood nose
- But: Bites neat

How does HSE chêne français 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 27 community reviews.
Complex, woody agricole with a long dry finish Widely rated one of the best HSE bottlings — complex, wood-and-spice driven, with a long dry finish most tasters call the highlight. Less accessible than the American-oak sibling.

Review by Daniel Kennste Doch
Agricole Rhum so wie ich ihn gern mag! In der Nase: Exotische Noten treffen Zitrone, Vanille, wenig Holz, spannend aber schwer zu greifen. Tolle, kräftige Noten, komplex, Vanille, Holz mit wunderbar intensivem Finish, das lange anhält. Für mich bislang der beste HSE. War einer meiner Liebsten im "Extreme rare Rhum Agricole Tasting" vom Rumdepot
Review by Morgan Garet
Le nez est simplement PARFAIT, très fruité avec un bois ciré delicieux! En bouche c'est légèrement en dessous du nez ( le contraire était difficile) mais tout de même excellent, plutôt porté sur le boisé et les épices douces, voir de l'encens. Finale longue sur les mêmes notes et un belle fraîcheur bien après.
Review by Christoph
Lots of barrel notes (cinnamon, vanilla), long dry finish, citrus and dark chocolate on the palate. What I like best here is the finish.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one is biting even after resting it for a longer period of time. Ended up adding a drop of water to get more flavours. Fruity with spices and smoky oak is what I get.

Probiert auf dem 11. GRF und für mich der beste Agricole dieses Jahr hier, but more to come ;)
