RHUM HSE - Amber Rum - Fédrica MATTA - The Journey of Imaginaries - Limited Edition - 40%
The La Maugée estate, renamed Saint-Étienne in 1863, evolved from a simple sugar factory to an exceptional distillery after its purchase by Amedée Aubery in 1882. This young industrial captain ingeniously modernized the infrastructure, relying on the Lézarde river, which still runs through the estate today to power the site and dilute the cane juices. The Hayot family, represented by Yves and José, acquired the property in 1994 following the judicial recovery of the previous owners. They then undertook a complete renovation of this historic Martinique estate, classified as a Historic Monument, while transferring the distillation column to Simon. It is in this prestigious context that the Saint-Étienne brand became HSE (for Habitation Saint-Étienne), a symbol of authenticity and exceptional quality.
This unique batch of HSE amber rum, poetically named "The Journey of Imaginaries", invites you on a true inner and artistic journey. It continues the artistic exhibition of Fédrica Matta at the heart of Habitation Saint-Étienne, located in Gros Morne, Martinique. The result of remarkable patience of 12 to 18 months, this AOC Martinique rum has matured elegantly in the French oak casks of the estate. It reveals soft and refined aromas, delicate flavors, and a harmonious and graceful profile, a true tribute to the prestigious Martiniquais know-how.
