“A rum tasted at Rhum Fest in 2024. The nose is warm, with spices, wood and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is balanced, with a marked but not overpowering brandy character. Medium finish. A rum in which the integration of the Madeira Brandy barrel is a complete success.”

“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.”

“Un pur jus qui a sans aucun doute séjourné dans un fût de brandy tant c'est cette odeur qui prédomine. Du bois également. Le nez est doux et engageant. En bouche, on retrouve la patte de cette distillerie avec un pur jus au degré maîtrisé où le bois est bien présent et offre une belle trame. De la rondeur, du raisin. Une finale un peu trop amère. C'est bon mais trop marqué pour moi.”
