An unsweetened Martinique agricole from Distillerie du Simon under the HSE label, aged around ten years and finished in Fino and Oloroso sherry casks, a dry cane-juice rum at 45% with a Spanish wine twist.
Description
HSE, Habitation Saint-Etienne, is a Martinique house known for cask finishes and vintages, with the rum distilled at Distillerie du Simon on a creole column from fresh-pressed sugar cane juice. This 2007 release spent roughly a decade maturing before a double finish in Fino and Oloroso sherry casks, and it carries no added sugar.
At 45% this sits in the dry, AOC-style agricole tradition, where the grassy cane core is layered rather than sweetened. The sherry finish typically lends nutty, dried-fruit and gently oxidative notes over that vegetal base, expect a drier, more spice-forward profile than a sweet molasses rum. A thoughtful pour for drinkers who like agricole with a wine-cask edge.
