    Producer

    Habitation Saint-Etienne stretches across rich and varied lands, where sugarcane thrives under the radiant Martinique sun. The estate benefits from a tropical climate, ideal for sugarcane cultivation, and its volcanic soils impart a unique minerality to the rums produced. This harmony between land and climate is essential for obtaining spirits of such high quality. Traditional production methods, combined with expertise passed down through generations, allow the Habitation to create authentic and refined rums, a true reflection of their environment.

    Owner and history

    Today, Habitation Saint-Etienne is run by a passionate new generation, determined to preserve the family heritage while innovating. The current owners are committed to respecting traditions while exploring new production methods. Their love for the land and for rum is reflected in every bottle, demonstrating a dedication to producing spirits of exceptional quality. The family continues to pass on its expertise, ensuring that each vintage is a tribute to the richness of Martinique's terroir.

    Vinification and aging

    The production of HSE Sauternes Finish Rum is carried out with meticulous care. After the sugarcane harvest, the juice is fermented and then distilled to obtain a pure white rum. This rum is then aged in Sauternes casks, a step that imparts an unprecedented aromatic complexity. The casks, which previously held this sweet wine, infuse the rum with sweet and floral nuances, while also giving it a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. This aging process is the result of unique expertise, allowing the aromas to be enhanced and creating a perfect balance between sweetness and strength.

    The team's opinion

    A smooth and indulgent rum, enhanced by a Sauternes finish bringing honey, candied fruit and a refined sweetness.
