How does this rum taste?
- Schöne Nase bestehend aus Holz, Gewürzen und Vanille
- Un rhum VSOP très agréable
- Gutes PreisLeistungsVerhältnis
Woody, spicy and vanilla notes set the tone for HSE Réserve Spéciale VSOP, with many RumX members praising its approachable profile. The spirit leans into "auffallend holzig und würzig" (@Christoph), wrapped in balanced dryness and subtle fruit accents—think apricot and caramel. Some pick out almond, chocolate and a pleasant pepperiness, while others feel the rum is "nicht zu überfordernd, nicht zu grasig und nicht zu holzig" (@Lukas Jäger). There’s a gentle sweetness here, but the dominant wood and spice keep things lively, making it a solid choice for sipping neat or as a cocktail backbone.

To Distillerie du Simon
"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."
"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."
"A beautiful HSE Reserve Speciale with 45%. It really surprised me in a positive way. Beautiful nose consisting of wood, spices and vanilla. The palate is also woody, but it's very spicy here too, with vanilla and chocolate adding a little sweetness. Really okay."
"Rhum facile à boire qui peut convenir à beaucoup de monde, même des non initiés en rhum agricole. Odeurs et saveurs rondes de boisé caramel choco vanille avec une touche poivrée. Finale moyenne, mais tout aussi agréable."
