    How does this rum taste?

    The "6 Years" rum from William Hinton distillery in Madeira is crafted from sugar cane juice using a column still and aged for 6 years. This rum features a complex aromatic profile with dominant woody and dried fruit notes, complemented by subtle alcoholic, spice, and raisin nuances. On the palate, the rum delivers a woody and alcoholic character with hints of smokiness and caramel, though some found the finish short and light. Engaging and balanced, this rum is aged in a variety of casks, including ex-Port, ex-Madeira, ex-Sherry, ex-Bourbon, and ex-Brandy, making it a versatile choice for both sipping and mixing in cocktails.

    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.

    Schwache 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.

    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.

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