HSE Single Cask (MEB 2021) 2006
Highly praised agricole: intense yet elegant wood, spice and dark chocolate wrapped in dry, complex balance. Loved for its nose, harmony and value, with only minor quibbles about strength and length.
Agricole fans who enjoy dry, wood-driven, tobacco-and-cocoa profiles and want a complex but still approachable sipper at sub-50% ABV.

How does this rum taste?
Elegant, woody, tobacco‑cocoa agricole
If you enjoy mature, dry agricoles like other HSE single casks or aged Clément, this pushes the same classy wood–tobacco–cocoa line with extra balance and complexity.
Beginners expecting sweet, easy rum or drinkers who dislike pronounced oak, dryness and darker flavor profiles.
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).

After a quick discovery of the rumfest, we bought the bottle and had a real tasting and direct comparison with its 2003 counterpart. The nose: enchanting, a real bohneur and a perfect balance between the freshness of the cane, the fruitiness and the darker contributions of the cask. The degree is perfect, so you can dive right in without having to dab your nostrils afterwards. The 2003 was more on the barrel. On the palate: insanely greedy, super. In short, a top-notch Agricole, a model of delicacy and balance that I found even better than the 2003 precisely because it reduces the woodiness and puts even more fruit in the glass.
Un rhum agricole avec une belle complexité au nez; tabac, raisins secs et chocolat au lait parmi d’autres. L’attaque en bouche est douce et suave, là aussi pas mal de complexité avec un côté végétal contrebalancé par les notes de raisins secs et de chocolat. La finale est longue, très longue, avec beaucoup d’épices, du chocolat noir et du tabac fermenté. Quelques notes de Demerara (vieux cuir) dans mon verre vide. Un rhum réellement complexe et super agréable à boire. Une réussite ! Merci Rodolphe de me l’avoir conseillé.
Wonderful balance and intense as well as dry on the palate. I like the spices and wood as well as the light chocolate and tobacco on the profile. Price to quality is very good in my mind.
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.
