1998 Habitation St Etienne Single Cask Agricole Rum (700ml)
The "HSE" Rum Company offers a range of rums finished in x Coganc, Whisky and Sherry casks, adopting the same principles of maturation that many innovative Single Malt Scotch whiskies have employed for decades.
Tasting note: Bright copper / burnished brass colour. Sensuous aromatics include heady scents of toffee apple, roasted nuts, dried coconut, liquorice strap and exotic spices. The palate entry is medium dry and Amontillado Sherry-like beginning salty and nutty with pistachio and vanillan oak flavours slowly drying. Soft, warming spirit. Creamy mouth feel. A faint sulphury note makes itself apparent but remains in check. Exceptionally long aftertaste of spice, marzipan and liquorice all sorts. 47.8% Alc./Vol.
Finished in a Cognac cask. Bottled 2009. Only 600 bottles produced.
