This Agricole from Madeira is especially produced for the 1423 Calendar 2021. Overall an very interesting Agricole, maybe with too much whisky taste. I believe I must explore more rums from William Hinton.
Ohne es zu wissen hatte es auch ein im Rumfass gereifter Whisky sein können. Torf und Rauch domieten hier alles. Wenn man genau aufpasst kann man noch leichte Noten von Vanille erkennen. Interessantes Getränk, aber nicht mein Fall - man muss nicht immer versuchen alles zu kreuzen
Uff, Rum mit getorftem Whisky gekreuzt. Noch nie gesehen sowas und wohl auch mit Grund. Ich persönlich bin kein Fan von stark getorftem Whisky und dieser Rum hat mehr als nur eine leichte Note davon. Nicht für mich.
I don’t get this one. It’s a rum that seems made for people who don’t like rums and wishes that this was a peated whiskey. So just drink a peated whiskey instead. Other than as a really niche use in cocktails to reach some specialized flavor I don’t think this attempt at pushing whiskey flavors into rum is a success. Maybe they just got a good deal on the barrels?
