"unfortunately very short finish and too watered down, but the basic profile is quite exciting"

"Overall an OK everyday rum that I expected to be more complex because of all the different casks used. This William Hinton Agricole produced by the Engenho Novo Distillery in Madeira is a blend aged for a minimum of six years in ex-Port, ex-Madeira, ex-Sherry, ex-Bourbon and ex-Brandy casks."

"Not quite my cup of tea and clearly too light, but overall very balanced with predominantly nutty aromas at first. There is also the influence of the different casks. Port wine and sherry at the finish are quite strong. The base is right but that's about it."
