Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another wonderful surprise. Very fruity with vanilla and some earthiness to it. I like the oilyness and nuts about this one.
Review by jonathan.p🇫🇷
I love it! A real journey into real agriculture! A nose of spices and stewed fruit mixed with the smell of the barrel, and what a beautiful barrel it is! On the palate, it's also very good, with the oak barrel but very well balanced with the taste of fruit on a spicy background. In short, a very good rum from HSE!
Review by Emiliano Distillatomico
Un single cask, distillato nel 2003 ed invecchiato 12 anni in clima tropicale in una botte di rovere francese! Al naso è un mix di profumi molto piacevoli ed avvolgenti..!! Speziato con note di vaniglia e frutta secca che si integrano bene con la freschezza ed il vegetale tipici dei rhum di questa Terra!!Al palato c'è un' armonia di sapori che un po' riprendono i sentori olfattivi precedenti con un grado alcolico di 47,8% vol ben integrato e giusto per questo rhum...a mio parere!!Un finale medio lungo chiude una bevuta davvero piacevole e ben strutturata..! Promosso!!
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Single Cask 2003-2015 at 47.8%. This rum was distilled in 2003 and aged for 12 years in Martinique in a single 400L French oak barrel. On the nose, it's immediately clear why the cellar master decided to make this a Single Cask. Cocoa appears first, followed by ripe banana and Mamy's compote. Enjoying this masterful nose, we catch a glimpse of basic empyreumatic notes (coffee and tobacco). On the palate, it's less gourmand but complex. Drier, with notes of coffee and tobacco. Personally, I prefer the nose to the mouth on this Single Cask.
