Classic to the core but without any off notes sometimes found in young agricoles. Instead the rhum is all polish with a perky profile that includes notes of cut grass, toasted coconut, sweet parsley, green olives, lime peels and sorrel tea. Easily the best value in category at the moment from one of the island's top distillers.
I often wish I had more time to extoll the virtues of rhum agricole, so full of character and robust flavor, yet often ignored or lumped together with their molasses-based cousins (rum). Case in point is the HSE Blanc Agricole, which uses the same distillery as the well-known Rhum Clément, but distinguishes itself with an individual style that shows maturity and vivid flavors found in older agricoles. This is a versatile rhum that will mix well with most anything and offer your cocktails a surprising complexity. Notes of fruit pith, grass, celery salt, and pickle brine combine in a sweet-and-savory elixir. Not into cocktails? Try it in a rocks glass with some ice and experience the terroir of Martinique, unhindered.
