Monte Negro Grogue Barbosa Amado & Vicente
Most enjoy its wild, vegetal, sake-mezcal vibe and salty smoke. Critics find it thin, bitter and unbalanced with rough alcohol. Consensus: interesting, niche grogue for adventurous tasters.
Adventurous drinkers who enjoy clairin, Paranubes, mezcal or very rustic agricoles and want a dry, funky, sake‑like grogue for neat sipping or characterful Ti’ Punches.

Weird, vegetal grogue for adventurous palates

Beginners, those expecting smooth sweetness or classic agricole fruit, and anyone sensitive to bitterness or slightly rough, fermented, olive‑driven profiles.

I was curious about that one, following the announcement of a couple of rums from Cabo Verde by Habitation Velier. On the nose it has aromas of sugarcane, olive and I can feel a slight acidity. On the palate, there is an interesting meaty smokiness coming through (but not like on Le Rocher). Finale is slightly bitter and herbal. It's a decent rum, price might be a bit high depending where you find it. I really feel like it's current grade of 7 doesn't do it justice.
some low scores so far but I find this very tasty but also don't feel I need a bottle. somewhere between paranubes and agricole.
Wonderful discovery of the toddy, a nice slap with this one
