Engenhos do Norte 970 Edition 2004 15yr 50,9%

RX1364 Very good Column Still Rum 1,396 bottles Under 100€

Introducing the "970 Edition" rum, a distinctive 15-year aged spirit produced in Madeira at the Engenhos do Norte distillery. Distilled in 2004 from sugar cane juice with a Column Still, this limited release has a 50.9% ABV and is available in only 1,396 bottles. With an intriguing aroma of grapes, glue, dark dried fruit, and tobacco, this rum offers a flavorful blend of spice, raisin, sherry, coffee, and dark chocolate on the palate. According to RumX users, it is an ever-evolving experience that benefits from ample aeration. The 970 Edition balances the characteristics of both agricole and Guyana molasses rums, providing a powerful and sometimes polarizing taste adventure.

“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!”

“Very dark, smoky, glue-laden and the first few minutes almost sweat-like on the nose. 🙈 Then comes through something like juniper, menthol, leather saddle, tobacco, honey and chocolate. Almost Armagnac artig and very dry and Holzbetont. Not necessarily mine but sow exciting!”
