The Rhum Blanc Agricole Parcellaire #2 Canne d’Or 2019 from the Habitation Saint-Etienne (HSE) house embodies the excellence of the Martinican terroir.
This single-varietal rum is made exclusively from the R570 cane, nicknamed "golden cane" or "straw cane", grown on the Verger and Coulon plots of the iconic HSE distillery.
Produced from the distillation of pure sugarcane juice harvested in 2019, this white rum reveals an exceptional aromatic richness.
TASTING NOTES :
NOSE: The nose is a festival of exotic and floral aromas. It opens with intense notes of exotic fruits – mango, passion fruit – accompanied by subtle hints of white flowers and fresh citrus (lime, grapefruit). In the background, vegetal touches evoke the richness of freshly cut sugarcane.
PALATE: The initial taste is light, offering a surprising roundness despite its high alcohol content. The complex aromatic profile reveals flavors of star anise and roasted pineapple, adding a gourmet and refined dimension. Gradually, spicier and more floral notes emerge, with licorice, jasmine, and a subtle hint of Sichuan pepper, enriching the rum with rare elegance.
FINISH: The finish is long and persistent, marked by the finesse of Sichuan pepper, which leaves a slightly spicy sensation in the mouth, mixed with floral reminiscences and a fruity sweetness. A final signature that affirms the unique and refined character of this single-plot white rum.
