Porty, roasted, fruity Madeira sipper
If you like balanced wine‑cask finishes (Port, sherry) and want something a bit different from classic agricoles, this gives you Porty fruit and roast without being too wild or hot.
Those who dislike Port or wine cask flavors, prefer very thick or ultra‑dry profiles, or are sensitive to subtle sulphur and moderate 53% ABV.

Alors je n'ai pas encore le palais très aiguisé pour utiliser des termes techniques. Néanmoins, le Madère a répondu aux attentes que j'avais en l'achetant. Très sympa. Pas agressif au nez avec cette note boisée typique des futs de pinard. Un petit côté sirupeux, puissant mais bref. Finale moyenne, j'aurai aimé avec un goût qui reste en bouche plus prononcé mais ce sont mes goûts. On sent bien le fruit, type cerise, c'est le vieillissement Porto qui a fait son effet. Très content de cet achat.
Die Madeira Agricole Noten halten sich eher im Hintergrund und das Portweinfass kommt deutlich durch. Es ist aber auf einem Niveau das trotzdem noch nicht „zu viel“ ist. Der Rum ist sehr süffig und lecker.
#19th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: licorice, dark chocolate, coconut Mouth: caramel, coconut, roasted, dark chocolate, vanilla, barrel notes Finish: long, woody, roasted, barrel notes I enjoyed it, but couldn’t find any notes of the port wine cask :/ I think it should be from Antigua ca.60% 6 years of aging
Un rhum de Madère très abordable et savoureux, qui offre des notes traditionnelles de fruits rouges et de Porto au nez, ainsi que du bois, du caramel, des épices et du sucre brun. La bouche est très douce, portée sur les mêmes notes fruitées et sucrées, avec une pointe d’espresso, légèrement fumée / rôtie et une touche acide. La finale, un peu courte, reste sur des notes similaires. L’alcool y est bien intégré, offrant un rhum doux, original avec une bonne complexité.
