Rum Nation Ilha da Madeira 2017 50%

RX2234 Good Column Still Rum Under 50€
“Surprisingly delightful, fresh, floral agricole with complex, lasting flavors.”

Introducing the Ilha da Madeira rum, a unique distillation from Madeira by independent bottler Rum Nation. Produced in 2017 with an ABV of 50%, this rum, made from sugar cane juice using a Column Still, offers a delightful Agricole experience. Users describe the aroma as a combination of agricole, sugarcane, fruit schnapps, flowery, and sugar. On the palate, flavors of sugarcane, floral, dry, fruit schnapps, and agricole are prominent. Reviews have emphasized the rum's clean and light agricole taste, comparing it to mid-tier Martinique rums, and some even to Peruvian pisco or a refreshing gin. However, a few users found the character not to their liking due to its distinct taste profile. Overall, this rum has a unique character that appeals to many rum lovers, especially those fond of agricole stylings.

“This was a very and I mean a very nice surprise. I rarely sip white rums, but this one brought me over. A wonderfully balanced 3 year old white, which presents itself with a wonderful nose and a surprise to your palate. A nice warm finish with fruits, spice and a bit of flowers to it. Stays in your throat and nose for a long time after sipping. Definitely one I'd recommend rum lovers to try and sip.”

“Erinnert mich in seiner Klarheit an Makronesian Gin (Vulkanisches Quellwasser) und gibt im Abgang einen leicht dreckigen, gemüsigen Geschmack mit Gurke und Olive wie in einigen Clairins. Agricole durch und durch leichte süße und sehr mild im Geschmack. Super frische Nase.”
