„Schooner relaxed HSE. Lacks a bit of power.“

„Tasted at the 11th GRF: More exciting than, for example, the XO and quite drinkable. For me, however, is also missing here a unique selling proposition or something character that sets it apart from the mass of Agricoles!“

„On the GRF11 three rum from HSE tasted against each other! Craft they are all well done, but for me personally they are all too flat and little expressive!“

„A small cask with selective but concentrated aromas. Notes of fruit and dried fruit blend well with spices and chocolate. This greediness continues on the palate with notes of plums. The finish remains selective in aroma but intense on the palate. A fine success for a relatively young profile.“

„Auf dem 11. GRF probiert: besser als der Standard XO. Mehr Körper, mehr Aromen. Konnte mich trotzdem nicht überzeugen.“

„Un rhum assez jeune mais que le fût a bien marqué. Le profil est très épicé. On ne retrouve pas dans la bouche les fruits du nez, c'est dommage car de ce fait elle manque un peu de gourmandise. La texture est agréable.“

„Un nez porté très clairement sur les fruits confits comme le pruneau mais aussi un peu de vanille et des épices douces qui viennent un peu après. La bouche est sèche et s'assagit après quelques seconde, les épices et le boisé arrivent en tête. Une finale moyennement longue mais très plaisante, le boisé reste dans la bouche. Un rhum que je recommande pour son rapport qualité prix très bon, hse nous offre une belle expérience tant au nez qu'en bouche. A laisser reposer un peu dans le verre pour une expérience optimale. Le verre une fois vide dégage une odeur sublime encore un bon moment.“
