HSE RUM - Copper Mist - Brut de Fût - French Oak Copper Mist - 2013 Vintage - 52.7%
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 “Brume Cuivrée” is a limited edition aged in December 2013. The rum was aged in French oak barrels with the exclusive “Brume Cuivrée” toasting . This heating system developed by Tonnellerie Quintessence consists of a controlled supply of water by misting during heating without direct contact with the wood. This allows the heat a long and diffuse penetration into the thickness of the wood, creating a humid atmosphere which favors aromatic and tannic extractions in depth. The Copper Mist is the longest and most intense to heat, maximizing the contribution of sweetness. Only 600 bottles were produced.
