“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.”

“Ein schöner HSE Reserve Speciale mit 45%. Der hat mich echt positiv überrascht. Schöne Nase bestehend aus Holz, Gewürzen und Vanille. Am Gaumen ebenfalls holzig, aber auch hier ist er sehr würzig und für die kleine Süße kommen noch Vanille und Schokolade hinzu. Echt okay.”

“A very pleasant VSOP rum. Woody, spicy and fruity notes blend well together. The palate continues in the same vein, very supple and smooth. The same spicy, fruity and woody notes return on the finish. A good reference for VSOPs.”
