William Hinton 6 Years
Most enjoy its smooth, easy style, nutty‑woody port/sherry notes and everyday drinkability. Critics find it too diluted, short in the finish and a bit alcoholic for just 40%. Consensus: pleasant but simple.
Those building their palate who want a gentle, woody-sweet Madeira agricole with port and sherry character for relaxed sipping or Daiquiris without heavy funk or high ABV heat.

How does this rum taste?
Easy Madeira sipper, more light than deep
If you like soft, wine-cask‑touched rums like lighter Port or sherry finishes, this is a friendly way into Madeira agricole, as long as you’re okay with a lighter, shorter profile.
Enthusiasts wanting high complexity, strong agricole grassiness or higher proof; value hunters may also be disappointed by the light body and short finish.

Ein richtig schöner und runder Sipper aus Madeira. Der perfekte everyday Rum und sehr lecker im Daiquiri
Gekauft, weil etwas im Geruch mich anzog, wie Katzenminze meinen Kater. Geschmack am Anfang, etwas holziger als erwartet, aber dann…der Abgang ist für mich gar nicht so kurz wie hier oft beschrieben und dann, wenn ich dachte das war’s, kam die Komponente im Geruch, die mich so anzog, nur jetzt intensiv als Geschmack, am Zungengrund, im Atem… Leider kann ich diese Komponente nicht beschreiben, keinen Vergleich bringen. Ich denke nicht jeder wird so euphorisch wie ich reagieren, aber wem beim Riechen eben diese Note positiv, aber unbekannt, auffallen sollte, der sollte ihn auch testen.
I find it much better than the previous reviews, very nice starter 👌🏼
Auto-translatedSchwache Nase mit leichter Frucht und florale Töne. Leider nur kurzer Abgang ebenfalls sehr leicht fruchtig und floral. Sehr leichter Rum. PLV passt für mich nicht recht.
