Visited the Habitation Saint-Etienne (HSE) Distillery while vacationing in Martinique. Spectacular unlimited full open tasting bar. Distillery is in a different location than the tasting bar. HSE 2003 XO was EUR 90 at the tasting bar. Bright amber color. Very nice and sturdy bottle with a splendid label design. Oak and peaty flavors merged with traditional high end Rhum Agricole like grass and floral notes to the nose and palate. Quite a strong burn at the end being so dry. Rhum Agricole lovers can easily add 2 points to my score.
Whisky styled Rhum Agricole 6 out of 10
