The HSE Chateau Marquis de Terme Finish is a limited-edition rum from Martinique's Distillerie du Simon, with only 2,100 bottles produced. Distilled in 2007 from sugar cane juice using a Creole Column, this refined rum was aged for 11 years before being bottled in 2020. It boasts a robust ABV of 48% and is presented in a 500 ml bottle, epitomizing the craftsmanship and tradition of the HSE brand.
This exquisite rum undergoes a unique finishing process in red wine barrels from the Grand Cru Classé Château Marquis de Terme in Margaux, lasting an additional 10 months. This finishing process imparts a distinctive character to the rum, marrying the rich, fruity essence of the wine barrels with the rum's natural flavors. The age-old oak barrels contribute to its aromatic complexity, releasing spices and dried fruits that are emblematic of Martinique's rum style.
On the nose, the HSE Chateau Marquis de Terme Finish seduces with a harmonious blend of tropical fruit, red fruits, sugarcane, and spice. The oak's roundness enhances these aromas, adding depth and richness. On the palate, it delivers a balanced profile of spices, sugarcane, licorice, caramel, and woody notes, with the integration of vineyard notes and ripe fruit juices. The light smoky pepper provides texture and a solid foundation, while the vanilla from American oak spreads its flavors throughout the palate. The rum concludes with a long, satisfying finish marked by tannins, mild bitterness, and a woody, spicy undertone.
The 2014 vintage presents a powerful and refined nose with generous aromas of red fruits and Kirsch, complemented by delicate wood and cocoa notes. The mouthfeel is round and indulgent, with black fruits, licorice, and fine spices leading to a long, harmonious finish. This unique rum exemplifies the seamless blend of traditional craftsmanship and innovative finishing techniques.
