HSE Grande Reserve XO 6yr 43%

RX28 Very good Rhum Agricole AOC <100€
“Rich, woody, balanced; pleasant but not intense.”

HSE Grande Reserve XO is a sophisticated agricole rum from Martinique's Distillerie du Simon. Distilled from sugar cane juice and aged for six years, this rum offers a balanced profile of woody, vanilla, and spicy notes with hints of dried fruit and coffee. Users appreciate its harmonious and smooth nature, noting a well-integrated alcohol presence. The rum's complexity includes nuances of tobacco and leather, delivering a multidimensional tasting journey. While it is generally enjoyed for its balance, some find it lacks in finish length and intensity. This rum is often compared to whiskies due to its peaty, dark profile, making it intriguing yet occasionally polarizing among connoisseurs.
