How does this rum taste?
Reviewers love its smooth, cane-forward character and versatile mixing potential. Expect fresh sugarcane on the nose with vanilla, light oak and a touch of apple, leading to woody, caramel and gentle spice on the palate. Many recommend it for Ti’ Punch and cocktails, though it also sips easily at 40% ABV. A popular RumX pick with 58 reviews and strong buyer confidence, despite a generally short finish.

Overall an tasty and smooth Agricole. It’s a selection of agricole rums aged in new 200 liters American oak casks for 12 to 24 months. HSE is made at the distillery Le Simon which is the same distillery that produces Clement and A1710. From the distillery it’s said: “This rum will delight both in a Ti-Punch as well as in cocktails.”, but I’ve tested it neat and thinks it works well that way.
Pas assez vieux.
Seit Wochen mal wieder ein guter Rum den ich verkoste. Nicht zu süß und fruchtig. Der französische Still ist und bleibt mein Lieblingsstill. Ein Agricole bestens für Einsteiger geeignet, als Grundlage für Cocktails zu gut.
Nothing special here to tell. It‘s a young soft, thin (diluted) agricole and more recommended to beginners. Anyway, you can taste out a lot of various notes. Easy daily rum with a short and unimpressive finish.
