"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."

"Un HSE plutôt axé sur la gourmandise. C'est sucré, rond, facile à boire. Le boisé martiniquais est là. La canne à sucre toujours présente. Pas le plus grand représentant de l'AOC mais pas désagréable."
