HSE XO À La Française

"Fine, palatable easy sipper. More on the slightly woody side than the grassy side. I tasted a pleasant red wine finish where there is none, but that speaks for the rhum. Alcohol very well integrated. Another quality product from HSE, they simply deliver quality at a reliably consistent level with their many releases."

"Great XO! Alcohol very well integrated."

"Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden, guter easy sipper!"

"French oak in the nose. So slightly acidic. Fresh. Nougat. Berries. Varnish. So far so good. Taste: lots of wood(spices). Dry. Bitter. Paint. Molasses. Again a HSE with a bit too much wood. Astringent mouth feel. For me the nose>taste."

"Schöner, süffiger Agricole, jedoch ohne herausragende Eigenschaften."

"Hard to define on the nose at first, then a mixture of fresh fruit, wood and spices. Pepper on the tongue, rather toasty and woody on the palate, then the sugar cane comes through. Long finish, goes into the nose, the pepper remains but does not bite"

"Sweet!"

"Very nice Agricole with a lot of wood influence. Beautiful red fruit on the nose. Dry on the palate and slightly astringent on the finish. I like it very much. Priced a little high."

"Beautiful, concentrated color! Very varnished nose, like new furniture wood varnish. But the nose evolves as it oxidizes. Finishes now on notes of butter, Breton shortbread. On the other hand, the palate is very whisky and remains whisky 🥃 !"

"Einer der süffigsten Agricoles für mich, unglaublich geschmeidig und einfach lecker. Selten so gut eingebundene Prozente gehabt."
