HSE Parcellaire #1 Canne d‘Or 2016
Most love its complex nose, fresh cane and vanilla at a crazy price. Critics find the palate lighter and a bit diluted. Consensus: a very solid, characterful agricole for the money.
Rum drinkers curious about agricole who want a moderately complex, dry and floral cane-juice rum that still feels easygoing and works both neat and in classic ti‑punch style drinks.

How does this rum taste?
Serious agricole character at a steal
If you enjoy balanced, slightly dry rums like other HSE ESB bottlings, this is a smart step deeper into agricole: more cane and wood character without the burn or heavy funk.
Those wanting rich, sweet molasses rums, very intense cask‑strength experiences, or people who already know they dislike grassy or whisky‑leaning agricole profiles.

This one was a surprise especially when looking at the price tag. Lovely Agricole notes mixed really well with fruits, cane and some vanilla.
Goûté au RhumFest 2024 : Encore un HSE au rapport qualité-prix très intéressant.. Un agricole typique mais bien réalisé. On y retrouve les marqueurs habituels sur ces embouteillages donc pas de grande surprise. Vraiment très agréable.
Update: just bought a bottle of this and I have to push my score a little higher. For 39€ this may be one of the craziest deals out there. Beautiful blond tobacco flavors, excellent as both easy sipper as well as in ti-punch. First review: At 36€ this is a steal and I understand why it won a gold medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. Made from a single variety of cane, R570, from a single patch of plantation land. Citrus, blond tobacco, hint of orange, and lots of clearly discernible vanilla. It’s not fully a “coup de cœur” for me but for the price it is great.
Great, complex nose. A great creaminess and a pleasant sweetness emerge on the palate. Issue price under 40€. An absolute value-for-money monster! 🚀
