This VSOP from HSE is also good: more discreet nose with chocolate, wood and caramelized fruit. In the mouth, the woody profile continues, adding spicy and earthy notes. Roasty coffee and chocolate on the finish to wood and spice and some sweet caramel.

Un rhum VSOP très agréable. Les notes boisées, épicées et fruitées se confondent bien. La bouche continue sur la même lancée, très souple et onctueuse. La même note épicée, fruitée et boisée revient en finale. Une bonne référence pour les VSOP.

Sehr gut gereifter Agricole. Wer Zigarre raucht wird diesen Rum lieben. Schmeckt tatsächlich zunächst gar nicht direkt nach gereiftem Agricole. Recht holzig und würzig, wenig grasige Noten.

Toller Ruhm der im Abgang aber immer trockener, holziger und bitterer wird. Lieber nicht so lange ausklingen lassen und zeitig ein neuen Schluck nehmen.

Rhum épicé et relevé, agréable

Son nez est vif de de fruits confits : abricots, pêche, melon, puis arrivent les notes d'amande grillée, de caramel au beurre salé et de girofle. La bouche est superbe et conforte le nez : une attaque large et chaude tapisse admirablement le palais. Son moelleux et sa viscosité accentuent encore ma longueur en bouche de cette cuvée.

Finition fût de bourbon, finish en chêne français. Très boisé.

An interesting Agricole. Orange and vanilla on the nose. Mouth wise it is interesting as well with more peppery and floral notes ending in a short but pleasant finish with sweeter coconut and caramel elements. It’s a well made rum but is just missing something A less enjoyable finish for HSE to my tastes

Un très bon rhum de dégustation avec des notes boisées. Parfait pour un pairing avec un cigare ou du chocolat noir.

Excellente impression dès le nez avec des notes vanilles toastés, caramélisé et un aspect boisé élégant. On retrouve en bouche toutes ces notes de dessert vanillés et de caramel avec une belle finesse. L’alcool est présent mais bien intégré il n’est pas mou et pas du tout agressif. En finale on garde ce côté boisé torréfié avec l’arrière goût d’un café bien torréfié. La salive monte et on a envie d’y replonger!
