Very good 1,100 bottles Under 100€

The HSE Single Cask (MEB 2021) is a limited-edition rum produced by the Distillerie du Simon in Martinique.

„Après la découverte rapide du rhumfest, achat de la bouteille et vraie dégustation et comparaison directe avec son homologue le 2003. Le nez : enchanteur, un vrai bohneur et un parfait équilibre entre la fraîcheur de la canne, le fruité et les apports plus sombres du fût. Le degré est parfait, tu peux plonger dedans tout de suite et sans avoir à te pommader les narines après. Le 2003 était plus sur le fût. En bouche : gourmandise folle, super. En bref, un Agricole au top, un modèle de gourmandise et d'équilibre que j'ai trouvé encore meilleur que le 2003 justement parce qu'il réduit le boisé et met encore plus de fruits dans le verre.“

„Un single cask au nez absolument fabuleux. Très équilibré entre les fruits confits et tropicaux, les épices, le tabac, le cacao et la fraîcheur légèrement terreuse. La bouche suit une trame similaire, à la fois complexe et équilibrée. La finale est légèrement en deçà de ce que ce rhum offre au préalable, mais l’impression au nez et en bouche reste remarquable. Un très bon Millésime 2006.“

„Un nez magnifique, une bouche très réussie, avec juste une petite note végétale surprenante en fin de bouche/finale. Cette finale n'est pas fondamentalement mauvaise, mais elle laisse un petit goût amère dans la bouche (expression française).“

„I sampled this rum this afternoon and was very surprised by it. This rum is right up my alley, beautiful woody notes, tobacco and some fruit with a slightly dry finish. I might buy a bottle in the future.“

„Lors des salons dès que je passe chez HSE je trouve ça trop sur le bois et mon palais sature. J’ai profité de ce Noël pour en ouvrir une, en ayant bu seulement du vin avant et quelle quille. Superbe équilibre bois, fruit empyreumatique et une réduction aux petits oignons.“

„Un profil HSE très équilibré.. Tout ce que l'on aime d'un agricole.. Tout serait parfait s'il y avait plus de longueur.. Mais très fruité..“

„Schönes, klassisches Agricole-Profil mit Kirsche, Holz, Gewürzen und etwas Süße, in Summe sehr harmonisch. Trotzdem stört mich der niedrige ABV doch etwas…“

„Piacevolmente equilibrato e rotondo tra spezie e frutti, lieve retrogusto di quercia, note di frutta secca tostata e tabacco, resta comunque molto delicato. Finale medio e principalmente secco, ma rimane un leggero sentore anche di frutta, così come nel bicchiere vuoto“

„Erinnert an die Destillate von Clement. Der höhere Alkoholanteil tut diesem Rum wirklich gut. Aber es fehlt ihm die Tiefe.“

„La dégustation de ce rhum laisse perplexe. Il n'est pas évident d'identifier des arômes comme dans d'autres rhums. Je remarque que c'est sur ce type de rhums qu'on trouve l'adjectif "complexe". Ce n'est pas ce qui me vient à l'esprit ici. Je dirai plutôt harmonieux : les arômes ont été si habilement assemblés qu'il donne un tout difficile à décrypter mais agréable. Le profil reste trop sombre à mon goût.“

„Un nez envoûtant aux arômes de pain d'épices que je pourrais snifer des heures , superbe , une jolie bouche qui fini sur une longueur un peu moins gourmande sur des notes végétales: dommage! Beau rhum , prochains batchs à surveiller !!"“
