Habitation Saint-Étienne HSE Cuvée de l'an 2016 VO 45% 70cl

HSE Cuvée de l’An 2016 VO is a refined vintage rhum agricole from Martinique, produced from the 2016 harvest and crafted according to the strict regulations of the AOC Martinique. This expression highlights the purity of freshly pressed sugarcane juice and the elegant structure developed through careful ageing.

Distilled in a traditional Creole column, this vintage was matured in oak casks to achieve its VO (Vieux) classification. Bottled at 45% ABV, it offers both aromatic intensity and balance, staying true to HSE’s philosophy of authenticity and precision.

Nose: Fresh and expressive, opening with notes of sugarcane, white flowers, vanilla, and light toasted oak. Subtle hints of citrus peel and soft spice add complexity.

Palate: Elegant and structured, revealing flavours of caramelised cane, baked apple, gentle spice, honey, and delicate oak tannins. The agricole freshness remains vibrant throughout.

Finish: Medium to long, clean and slightly spicy, with lingering notes of vanilla, fresh cane, and soft wood influence.
