Madeira Rum
Top review from cigares :
"A very floral, unusual nose, with candied fruit cake, light varnish, rose and vegetal notes. Full-bodied on the palate, with a balance of fruity, floral notes and fine oak. A fairly long finish where the rose 🌹 stands out and finishes on notes of passion fruit. In the empty glass, woody aromas stand out. A very fine rum. Thanks Rodolphe for the sample."
Madeira, Portugal
Top review from HenryL:
"Pleasant smell, for me dominates a fresh note paired with wood and some fruit.An incredible mouthfeel, super soft and pleasantly oily. Fruity notes are in the foreground in the taste, out the back comes some menthol to it.The nose is good, the taste the hammer!"
970 Edition
Top review from Vincent D:
"I have a problem with this rum: I can't decide whether I like it or not. Every time I taste it, I get a new impression. The nose is always more or less the same: grapes, wood, spices. You can tell it's an agricultural wine. On the palate, the grape is very present. The woodiness is strong. The rum is dry and heavy. It's halfway between an agricole and some of Guyana's molasses. But I often find it very unpleasantly bitter. The bitterness of grape skins. It's frustrating because when I don't have that sensation, I love its power. The rum clearly benefits from VERY long aeration. Edit: very woody and bitter finish. Decidedly, hard to make up one's mind. Edit edit: oxidation is this bottle's friend! Edit edit edit: farewell. I would have loved you anyway! That woody farmer!"
970 Madeira Wine Cask Edition 2021
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"First a bit off-putting on the nose because it smells of sweat🤣but then after some time it becomes juniper, musty pear, honey, chocolate and cinnamon cookies. Barrel notes rather restrained and very elegant!"
970 Cask Strength Edition (Madeira Brandy Cask)
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall a quite interesting Agricole with lots of burnt rubber in aromas and flavors that’s very different from the Caribbean Agricole’s. This rum, a 970 Madeira Brandy Cask, is produced by Engenhos do Norte in Madeira. It’s a 7yo Brut de Fut distilled in 2016 produced in a total of 3652 numbered bottles."
970 Cask Strength Edition
Top review from Galli33:
"So, let's go to Madeira. The rum is very well balanced and good to drink. Great notes of baked apple, raisins, grapes and prunes. The alcohol is well integrated. Unfortunately, the rum could not convince me (btw. Madeira is not among my favorites)"
970 Single Cask Edition
Top review from Rowald Sweet Empire:
"A very thick and woody 970 rum. French oak soaked with madeira wine. It's very prominent. I do get a hint of it's agricole base. Lots of winterly spices. Whiff of menthol. Cherries and black currants (dryish). Pretty good. Retry: almost like an old sherry cask. Dried raisins. Currants. Still very very good."
Madeira Rum
Top review from Rodolphe:
"Et bien voila de nouveau une belle bouteille de chez Le Gus't qui est un super rapport prix/plaisir. Un Agricole bien marqué par un fût de Madère avec un coté vineux liquoreux mais très bien dosé et qui n'écoeure absolument pas. Le nez est particulièrement agréable d'ailleurs. Belle découverte."
Rum Agricola de Madeira Distilled in Pot Still (Limited Release)
Top review from Artur Schönhütte:
"It seems weird how all of these newer pot still rums have these weird olive water note. This one manages to hold its weirdness down, because not everything can be Paranubes. Still it is rather pleasent."
970 Reserva
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Tasted this rum with a good friend that bought it during a trip to Madeira which has a long tradition of making sugar and rum. The first Engenho (sugar mill) in Madeira is from 1452 and they produced sugar from sugar cane on the island until 1986. Rum from molasses has been distilled since the early 16th century and the first agricultural rum was produced in the mid 17th century. Nowadays there’s four distilleries on the island. The biggest one is Engenhos Do Norte. Established in 1927, and produces this brand among others. It’s distilled in Barbet copper columns whereafter it’s placed in French oak barrels for at least 6 years before blended, reduced and bottled. After what I’ve heard is it a very typical traditional Madeira rum."
