RHUM HSE - Aged Under Wood - ESB - 42%
HSE (Habitation Saint Étienne), now known as Clos des Spiritueux, has a rich history dating back to 1863. Originally called Habitation La Maugée, it was an iconic Martinican sugar factory. In 1882, Amedée Aubery transformed this estate into a modern distillery, bringing his expertise and modernizing the facilities. The energy needed still comes from the Lézarde river, used to power the distillery and to dilute the sugarcane juices, ensuring unmatched authenticity and quality.
In 1994, Yves and José Hayot acquired the estate following the judicial recovery of the previous owners, initiating a large renovation campaign. The estate now holds the prestigious status of Historic Monument, a testament to its heritage importance. Saint-Étienne rum is produced in a traditional Creole-style copper column still, from the renowned Simon distillery, located in François, Martinique, thus ensuring perfect mastery of artisanal distillation methods.
This exceptional agricole rum is carefully aged under wood for a period of 12 to 18 months in high-quality French oak casks. This barrel aging gives HSE rum rich, complex, and balanced aromas, with subtle woody notes, perfect for connoisseurs of exceptional rums.
