From the historic Habitation Saint-Étienne, HSE represents one of Martinique's most celebrated rhum agricole producers, dating back to 1882. This blanc agricole is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice at the Simon distillery and has earned multiple gold medals at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris. A testament to traditional Caribbean craftsmanship, this rhum embodies the pure expression of Martinique's terroir.

Tasting Notes

Crystalline appearance with an intense, bold nose featuring floral and fruity notes blended with subtle white pepper emanations. The palate reveals fresh sugarcane at full maturity, enhanced by notes of lemon, clementine, and exotic fruit. A supple, sweet opening gives way to beautiful floral notes with a slightly peppery aftertaste and long, persistent finish that echoes the natural flavors of fresh cane.
