    Degusté au Spirits Days à Tournai, notes rapides : L'un des OVNI du jour ! Nez : brandy, caramel, banane, un petit côté bonbon acidulé Bouche : des fruits, beaucoup d'épices, une touche de menthol ? Finale sur les épices et une pointe d'amertume (mais pas trop). Bref : assez dingue, un peu lourd peut être, mais très content d'avoir terminé par celui la qui vaut le détour pour le coup.

    Very original, with the wild cane notes typical of Madeira rums, as well as strong Madeira wine notes, but nicely coated with the brandy that brings its yellow fruit and adds a new layer to this singular rum. It's a little disruptive with its different markers, but it works really well!

    Toller Rum, fast noch einen Ticken besser finde ich den Brandy, der zuerst in dem Fass gereift wurde. Sehr spannender Vergleich.

    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.
