HSE Réserve Spéciale VSOP is just 4-years old an is aged in bourbon oak barrels. The nose is warm, rich, sweet, spicy, fruity and woody with an aroma of vanilla. At the palate the aroma from the nose is persistent with the woodyness dominating. The finish is long with everything persistent with the woodyness and dryness dominating.
Finition fût de bourbon, finish en chêne français. Très boisé.
Sehr schöner VSOP. Das Aroma füllt den Raum. Eine sehr komplexe Nase, mit Frucht, Holz und Schokolade. Der Eindruck setzt sich im Mund fort. Der Abgang ist lang, etwas bitter und trocken. Ein sehr schöner Rhum Agricole.
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.
