The Habitation Saint Etienne (HSE) 2013 Whisky Rozelieures Cask Finish 7yo is a truly exceptional rum from the island of Martinique, with a limited edition release of only 4100 bottles. This distinctive rum was distilled in November 2013 and matured for six years in oak barrels before being transferred to ex-Roselieures French whisky casks for a finishing period of at least eight months. Bottled in February 2020, this 500ml bottle boasts an ABV of 44%. The complex maturation process imparts a unique woodiness to the rum, enriched with spices and cocoa nuances that beautifully blend with the oak. Upon tasting, the palate experiences a delightful malty and vanilla-like flavor, complemented by the freshness of cane juice. The presence of the whisky cask finish introduces an intriguing middle note, creating a harmonious balance. Aeration further reveals a concentrated array of flavors, including nuts coated in caramel and salted butter, alongside mature and fruity cane. Aromas of cereal evolve into layers of cooked fruits and sweet spices, culminating in fruity notes accented with sweet spices. The meticulous maturation process, adhering to the purest tradition of HSE aged rums, enhances the final product with intricate notes of dried fruit, cocoa, blood orange, soft smoke, and peppery spice that linger enticingly. Revived in 1994, the HSE brand is produced at the Distillerie du Simon, where traditional methods have been in operation since 1934, including steam heating. This HSE 2013 rum embodies a complex and harmonious profile, promising an unparalleled experience for rum connoisseurs.
