SAINT-ETIENNE’S CLAIM TO FAME
This white rum has indeed established HSE Saint-Etienne's reputation. It is distilled within the year and recognised for its fresh and typical nature. It will add harmony to your delightful cocktails and planter's punches. Traditionally, it is appreciated as a ti-punch cocktail (with cane sugar and a zest of lime) with or without ice.
TASTING NOTE
This classic of the Saint-Etienne rums offers an intense and bold nose where floral and fruity notes blend with the subtle emanation of white pepper. It provides an astonishing lasting taste where the nose aromas are enhanced with notes of sugarcane in full ripeness.

About The Producer
ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE MARTINICAN SIGNATURES
Cultivate the difference....and set off to explore one of the most beautiful brands of Rhums from Martinique. Habitation Saint Etienne produces unique Rhums with an ancestral knowledge 150 years ago. HSE was modelled after “La Maugée”, a sugar refinery covering over 400 hectares from Gros Morne to Saint Joseph in the early 19th century. The architectural structure, including the master’s house, overlooking the distillery and the old workers’ huts, reflect a typical farm in Martinique.
Martinique’s rhum agricole’s is granted a protected designation of origin. (A.O.C.) since 1996, Martinique is the only rum-producing region in the world to have this status. The A.O.C. label certifies the quality, character and authenticity of Martinique’s rums. HSE has built its reputation thanks to its creativity, in particular in terms of aging and finish. The famous signature has the widest variety of barrels, whether in terms of size, the origin of wood or types of heaters.
HSE also has a dozen cellars where more than 6,000 barrels age. It is also distinguished by the very light filtration practiced before bottling: a bias which allows it to preserve all the aromatic profile and the richness of its rums.
