Description
The HSE Rhum Extra Vieux XO Grande Réserve is an outstanding, fine agricole rum from Martinique, which is known for its exceptional depth and elegance. With an alcohol content of 43% vol. and a capacity of 0.7 liters, this matured rhum is an exquisite choice for connoisseurs and lovers of high-quality spirits. Its long maturation takes place in a combination of carefully selected oak barrels, including former bourbon and cognac barrels. This barrel ageing gives it its remarkable complexity, a fine wood structure and a harmonious balance of fruit, spice and sweetness.
This Grande Réserve reveals intense aromas of candied fruit, dried apricots, vanilla and fine oak on the nose, complemented by subtle spicy notes such as nutmeg and cinnamon. A silky and deep taste experience unfolds on the palate with notes of honey, dark chocolate, roasted nuts and exotic spices. The finish is long-lasting, elegant and reveals subtle roasted and tobacco notes that make this rum particularly refined.
The elegant gift box (GB) makes the HSE Rhum Extra Vieux XO Grande Réserve an excellent choice for special occasions and a stylish gift for lovers of high-quality agricole rums.

Eher etwas schärfer, hellere Farbe, leichter Unterton nach Vanille Tabak und Eich ist auch erkennbar.
Muss sagen, nicht billig, aber jeden Cent wert.

Mit den 43% schon auf der schärferen Rumseite. Wenig Fassgeschmack, weniger Vanille, eher trocken und nicht sehr vollmundig.

seit einer Direktverkostung in Martinique nicht mehr aus der Bar wegzudenken. Auch wenn die Flasche einige 1000Meilen hinter sich hat, kein Verlust des Geschmacks oder der Erinnerung and Sandstrände, Sonnenuntergänge und karibischem Flair
