HSE Rhum Extra Vieux Agricole Sauternes Finish 2003

HSE 2003 Extra Vieux Agricole Sauternes Finish is aged for eight months in Château La Tour Blanche, 1st cru Sauternes barrels, and then spends nine years more in American oak barrels.

Great Mahogany color. The nose lays a foundation of spicy oak and caramelized vanilla. There is a touch of woody acidity as the fruity bananas and apple notes dance across the tongue. As those notes fade, another layer reveals roasted almond and coconut, brown sugar, Madagascar vanilla, charred oak, black pepper, and anise. A light bite of minerals finishes the rum.
