HSE Blanc Cuvée by CDM (Christian De Montaguère)
Made for a ti punch, and that's where several tasters say it shines. This white agricole leans more fruity than most — mandarin, orange and grapefruit over fresh, fibrous cane — with flowers and a peppery, grassy kick underneath. At 55% the attack stays surprisingly soft, but the palate turns earthy and bitter, with citrus fighting the vegetal, cereal side. Complex for a blanc, not the easiest.
The community says- Fruity nose
- Great in ti punch

Fruity, grassy white agricole for ti punch Well-liked expressive white agricole: fruitier than average up front, then grassy, peppery and earthy. A few call it a bit conflicted on the palate, but most rate the quality high.

#4559 19.01.2024 Got a set of samples from a former colleague in Sweden and today I'll give them a go. My tastebuds are still hyper sensitive, which can be both good and bad. The last one before a short break in the tasting. This one has slightly less fruit to it than the previous one. The floral note is really nice in the profile. The palate is medium dry and and fresh with a light tea note. The finish is medium long and has light citrus to it. The empty glass has a light peppery note i can't put my finger on.

Bon blanc de chez HSE
Review by Djehey
Je n'avais plus de rhum blanc, voilà un candidat :) Le nez est tout à fait charmeur, il est plus fruité que la moyenne en agricole blanc avec de la mandarine et de la banane qui va lui donner un côté gras. La bouche est différente avec de l'amertume et côté terreux / céréales. Le poivre se fait aussi très présent. Complexe pour un blanc mais pas des plus accessible.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Une cuvée spéciale de rhum agricole blanc qui repose sur des notes fruitées au nez (orange) auxquelles s’ajoute la canne à sucre, fraîche et fibreuse, des notes de fleurs et quelques épices en arrière-plan qui relèvent le nez. L’attaque en bouche est suave malgré les 55%. Les agrumes font face aux notes végétales et céréalières dans un conflit intense au palais. Encore une fois, les subtiles notes épicées profitent de la zinzanie pour faire valoir leur présence. On se trouve avec un rhum bien rond et élaboré. La finale, assez longue mais sans surprise, s’éternise sur le conflit en bouche, qui ne change pas d’un pouce. Un rhum blanc bien expressif, quelque peu instable et conflictuel avec lui-même et ses arômes, mais qui sait mettre tout le monde d’accord sur sa qualité indéniable.
Review by Johannes
Great white rhum with light fruit and yeast.
Review by VidDa Misat
Magnifique rhum agricole pour cette cuvée anniversaire, pleines de saveurs gourmandes, de la canne mûre mélangé aux agrumes pamplemousse, citron,.., avec une texture grasse et riche laissant une belle persistance en bouche sur le poivre et le végétal.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Excellent rhum blanc avec une richesse aromatique incroyable. Coup de cœur
