More questions

The Rhum St.Etienne HSE V.Agricole XO, presented in an elegant 70cl gift box, represents the pinnacle of agricultural distillation from Martinique. This rum is characterized by an extended aging process in oak barrels, which refines its aromatic profile, enriching it with complexity and nuances. On the nose, the Rhum St.Etienne HSE V.Agricole XO unfolds a seductive bouquet of toasted aromas, with notes of vanilla, chocolate, and ripe fruit, interspersed with elegant hints of exotic spices and fine wood. On the palate, its texture is smooth yet decisive, where the intense flavors of molasses and caramel harmoniously blend with a touch of tobacco and leather, culminating in a long and pleasantly persistent finish. This rum is ideal as a contemplative spirit or as a sophisticated gift for lovers of high-quality spirits.

The story
Habitation Saint-Étienne has origins tied to an old 19th-century sugar works; the company took the name Saint-Étienne after its purchase by Amédée Aubéry in 1882, who established a distillery there. During the 20th century the property passed to the Simonnet family; the original distillery closed at the end of the 1980s. In the 1990s the brand was relaunched by the current owners (Hayot group) and commercial production of Saint‑Étienne (HSE) rhums is now carried out with the support of Distillerie du Simon, while the habitation is undergoing restoration and enhancement as local heritage.
Distillation

Ageing
For the whites: controlled maturation and gradual reductions; for amber and aged rhums: ageing in wooden casks with minimum durations for the Vieux/VSOP/XO categories; use of finishes in different types of casks for some special editions.
