    "Un beau représentant de Martinique, peu agé et pourtant déjà bien marqué par son fût."

    "Compared to the J.M XO: the nose of the JM is better (bolder, more candy like). Tastewise the HSE maybe wins by a small difference for me: it’s more elegant with less harshness to it, more easy going. Overall they’re really close but I finished the HSE sooner so that would be the winner for me today 😅 but now I can sniff the JM some more 😋"

    "Very soft nose. Frank woodiness without being too pronounced. Vanilla and almond. On the palate, extremely soft and round at first, almost caramelized. Then woody and vanilla. A touch of coconut. The finish is similar. Caramel and wood. Quite pleasant and easy to drink. Surprising profile for an agricole."

    "Ein leckerer Rum, ist leicht süßlich, aber alles im Rahmen. In der Nase hat man hier Vanille, Mandel und Marzipan. Im Gaumen geht es für mich dann in Richtung Vanille und Karamell. Kann man nichts mit falsch machen."
