The HSE Sauternes Finish is a limited edition rum produced in Martinique at the renowned Distillerie du Simon. This exceptional rum was distilled in 2005 from fresh sugar cane juice using a traditional Creole Column, achieving an ABV of 41%. It was meticulously aged for 9 years and underwent an additional 12 months of finishing in Sauternes wine barrels sourced from Chateau La Tour Blanche, a 1st Cru Classe. With only 3,200 bottles released worldwide, this rum has captivated the attention of connoisseurs for its captivating aroma of honey, yellow fruits, pineapple, anise, and caramelized notes. On the palate, it reveals a delightful blend of spices, honey, dry tannins, yellow fruits, and apricot. The unique Sauternes finish imparts an intriguing, slightly astringent profile that has been well-received in the RumX community. Please note that this particular 2005 vintage is no longer available and has been sold out. The HSE brand, known for its dedication to quality, has once again demonstrated its expertise with this exquisite release.

Overall Taste: This rum offers a complex and nuanced flavor profile, characterized by sweet, spicy, and woody notes, with underlying hints of honey and dried fruit.
Reviewers have noted that while the rum's Sauternes finish is quite interesting and slightly astringent, some felt it was less fruity than expected and somewhat one-dimensional in taste. The initial taste can be aggressive, but it leads to a pleasant, long-lasting finish with notes of wood and tobacco. Despite its high price for a rum of this type, its unique finish has its admirers.
