Very nice bottling. The very long maturation clearly shows on the nose as well as on the palate. The bottling delivers lots of complexity, dominated by red fruits and wood. Despite the long time in the cask this is very well balanced with wood not taking over. Despite the low ABV, intensity on the nose and palate is very nice. This one give a lot to uncover with enough time in the glas.
Der Kollege hat stolze 45 Jahre auf dem Buckel, bzw. im Fass verbracht, und das merkt man auch an der Nase. Sehr komplex mit getrockneten Früchten, roten Früchten (eher ins Säuerliche gehend, Früchtebrot), Karamell, Fass und eine dezente kräutrig-frische Note im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen ähnlich, kräutrig, frisch, Karamell, Mokka. Wirklich außergewöhnlich!
Fruity ripe nose with grapes, red fruits allspice nuts and red wine some brown burnt sugar and dark chocolate. Heavy sweetness in the mouth very viscous... Clearly more floral and complex on the palate. Great stuff.
So far, rums from Engenhos do Norte have not blown me away. But this is an exceptionally old example that stands out. Lots of wood and roasted aromas, red fruit, all round and harmonious. The hallmarks of an agricole are also evident. In the mouth then very clearly Agricole, with a very thick, oily feeling prevailing after a heavy sweetness and dark barrel notes. Very pleasant aromas on the finish, which are familiar from Madeira casks and remind me of old casks of other spirits.
