RHUM HSE - Canne d'Or - Parcel No. 2 - Vintage 2019 - 55%
HSE (Habitation Saint Etienne) is an iconic distillery in Martinique, historically founded under the name Habitation La Maugée in 1863. Originally a traditional Martinican sugar factory, it was converted into a distillery by Amédée Aubery in 1882, a visionary industrial captain who modernized the facilities. He also installed an energy supply system using the Lézarde river, a river still used today for diluting sugar cane juice, ensuring exceptional quality and authenticity.
In 1994, after a difficult period marked by judicial recovery, Yves and José Hayot took over the property and undertook extensive renovation work. The Habitation was thus classified as a Historic Monument, recognizing its heritage importance. Saint-Etienne rum is distilled in a traditional Creole copper column from the prestigious Simon distillery located in François, Martinique, which gives its rums a unique aromatic finesse and remarkable typicity.
The HSE Parcellaire No.2 Canne d’Or 2019 is made from pure sugar cane juice of the rare R570 variety, carefully cultivated on the Verger and Coulon parcels of Habitation Saint Etienne. This parcel selection guarantees an incomparable aromatic concentration and gustatory richness. Distilled in April 2019 and bottled in October 2022, this rum offers a complex and powerful profile at 55%, ideal for enthusiasts seeking authenticity and character.
