HSE RUM - The Beauty & The Beast - Brut de Fût 2017 - Finish Kilchoman - 50.1%
HSE ( Habitation Saint Etienne ) was known as Habitation La Maugée and dates from 1863. It was then a Martinique sugar factory, 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 sugar cane juice.
In 1994, Yves and José Hayot bought the property after the receivership of the former owners 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 copper column at the Simon distillery located in François (Martinique).
HSE “The Beauty & The Beast” is a limited edition aged in July 2017. The rum is first aged traditionally for more than 5 years , then refined for 6 months in 2 barrels from the Kilchoman Distillery in Scotland. These are a 200 liter Sanaig cask ( #SA2306) and a 550 liter Logh Gorm cask (#LG2305).
