HSE Black Sheriff 3-Year

Number one for me.
HSE is the best rhum I have taste

I couldn't get over how intensely "bourbony" it was. In a blind tasting, I would suspect it to be whiskey, not an agricole. Too much spicy oak, it has subdued the pleasant rum qualities...

Le finish en fut de bourbon est trop prononcé et trop peu fin à mon goût pour une dégustation pure. Mais en ti punch ou en white cuban, il est très bien.

C'est un rhum à la trop forte présence de senteur de whisky
Erreur marketing à mon goût
N'a rien d'un rhum

Un rhum léger typiquement agricole avec des grandes notes fruitée.
Un grand régal pour un jeune rhum

Finish with bourbon cask, this rum is very sweet with spicy and vanilla notes. Medium aftertaste. Should be tasted. Will not remain in my memory as a great rum but the brand is so great, you will find your happiness.

Un produit tres marketé mais utile pour des tit punch où il trouve sa place.

Something for the connoiseur - and also a starter rum for whiskey lovers. I like rhum agricole and even the grassier ones, but it took me a while to get through the dominant smokey whiskey aroma to find my good old HSE again. But there it was, intermingling with the "American Barrels" and pleasing my rum craving palate. Interesting sipping rum, I want to try a Whiskey Sour from it one day! :) Not suited for everyday use, but still good!

A good alternative to Martinique VO agricole rums. Well balanced, not too dry, bourbon & vanilla dominating flavours.

Fits well for mixing & sipping

the first question i had with this rhum is...whats the difference between the black sheriff and the hse vsop. the vsop is a typical agricole with dense aroma, light body, long aftertaste and bitter & spicy elements. the pure taste of the blanc type is gone. not in the black sheriff. it is aged in bourbon casks only. so in the centre the taste of a fresh agricole rhum stays. but vanilla and caramell added, with a light maturing spiciness. worth every cent.
