The result of a partnership between the HSE distillery and the famous Facebook group La Confrérie du Rhum, this double vintage 2016-2017 has aged in American white oak. These barrels benefited from different heating profiles (Char #4, P52 and P53).
Yoann's tasting notes
The nose of this rum goes directly into a woody, elegant and fine register. The woodiness is melted and quite sober. Notes of candied fruit escape from the glass to reach our nostrils. They sit alongside a bouquet of spices and freshly roasted cocoa.
With slight aeration, roasted hazelnuts appear. The spices transform into gingerbread and are accompanied by notes of old leather.
On the palate , the melted woodiness mixes with candied fruits and cocoa. The pattern is faithful to the nose for our greatest pleasure. Roasted hazelnuts and freshly baked gingerbread are also included. Gluttony remains the key word here.
The finish , in complete elegance, is on candied fruits with a very ripe plum. Old leather adorns the whole.
