HSE Blanc

One member calls it a "gradmesser" for other white agricoles — a reliable Ti Punch base. Expect fresh sugarcane, grass, lemon and a floral lift, then a dry, peppery bite on the palate. At 55% the alcohol shows and a few tasters find it a touch thin and rustic, but the grassy-citrus character is textbook Martinique blanc.

A very good unaged rum agricole. Strong grassy, lemony and floral notes greet you. Then it is very dry, slightly grassy in taste with a light pepper finish. Amazingly mild in taste.

the comparison to the HSE 50 he wins for me. you can consider him as a yardstick for other white Agricoles, primarily in the Ti Punch of course, because they are produced anyway mostly.if you do not know which rhum it should be you can do nothing wrong here.in PLV unbeatable.

Canne a sucre, végétal, poivre. Très bonne base pour des rhums arrangés ou même en ti punch

7.5/10

In summary it’s a rustic, dry, powerful, intense and balanced Agricole Blanc. I’ve also tested it in a Ti Punch and it was great. The nose is fruity, spicy and floral. On the palate it’s a little bit rustic and the aromas from the nose just explodes in the mouth.

A white rum with a pleasant drinking strength. The nose consists of floral sugar cane and citrus. Peppery spicy in the mouth, but still easy to drink. Citrus and grass lingers long, but the rum is a bit thin overall.

Palate Warm, intense, fruits, olive, light salt, light citrus, light grass, lightly sweet, sugarcane, spice. Finish Long and warm, oily, olive, light salt, citrus, light vegetal, sugarcane. ABV integration is pretty good. The empty glass has a light herbal note and anise.

Loin des blancs de degustation de chez HSE forcément, il fera le travail en ti-punch avec son côté végétal.

Typischer Rhum agricole von Martinique. Gut zum Mixen und für einen Ti Punch. Der Alkohol ist in der Nase und am Gaumen deutlich präsent und nicht ganz rund eingebunden, daher etwas kratzig und leicht pfeffrig.
