RUM HSE - XO - 43%
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 XO rum comes from a selection of the oldest vintages of the Habitation since 1960.
