RHUM HSE - Raised in wood - ESB - 42%
HSE ( Habitation Saint Etienne ) was known as Habitation La Maugée and dates from 1863. It was then a Martinican sugar refinery, but Amedée Aubery converted it into a distillery when he bought it in 1882. This young Captain of Industry then modernized the buildings and supplied the estate with energy thanks to the Lézarde river, which is still used today to dilute the sugar cane juice.
In 1994, Yves and José Hayot bought the property after the former owners went into receivership and carried out new renovation work in the house. The property is then classified as a Historic Monument . Saint-Etienne rum is distilled in a traditional Creole type copper column from the Simon distillery located in François (Martinique).
This agricultural rum was aged in wood, between 12 and 18 months in French oak tuns.
