Description
Today the Martinique rhum agricole (a term for rum, produced from sugar cane juice) is the only one in the rhum category with the AOC designation. AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrle) is the French variant of certification for geographically protected wine, spirit, and food, which ensures the quality, authenticity, and character of the rhum. After the sugar cane is harvested, it’s taken to the mills in order to extract the juice. After filtration, the juice is fermented and distilled. Both unaged “Blanc” and aged “Old” expressions are produced, the latter employing barrels that used to hold bourbon, cognac, sherry, and whiskey.The HSE Rhum Agricole XO contains some of the oldest rhum from the HSE cellars, some spirits dating back to the 1960s. The rhum has spent at least a decade in meticulously selected cognac casks, lending the spirit its beautiful amber hue. Bottled at 86 proof, this award-winning expression is smooth with abundant wood and spice notes.Get your bottle today!
