    How does this rum taste?

    • Thick and powerful taste
    • Complex flavor profile
    • Distinct woody character

    The 970 Single Cask Edition by Engenhos do Norte in Madeira is a distinctive rum distilled from sugarcane juice in 2007. Aged for 11 years with a robust 55% ABV, this limited release of only 226 bottles presents a rich aroma profile of plum, grapes, and tea, underpinned by dried fruit and a fresh finish. Its complex taste includes notes of dried fruit, tobacco, red fruits, and allspice, suggesting a dry and spicy character. User evaluations highlight its thick, woody flavor with hints of winter spices, tobacco, and a touch of menthol, reminiscent of Madeira wine and French oak influences, though some found the fruitiness less pronounced.

    "A very thick and woody 970 rum. French oak soaked with madeira wine. It's very prominent. I do get a hint of it's agricole base. Lots of winterly spices. Whiff of menthol. Cherries and black currants (dryish). Pretty good. Retry: almost like an old sherry cask. Dried raisins. Currants. Still very very good."

    "This now is on the threshold of being very nice. Some complexity now with some saddle and tobacco notes start to make the tasting more intriguing a little bitter in the end but over all a very solid entry."

    "Extremely dry, musty and woody, fruity Madeira single cask. Tobacco, cassis, prune, grape & blackberry, lots of wood, cinnamon, subtle tobacco and mint, sandalwood and generally extremely woody notes, dark chocolate, as well as leather and some menthol. You have to like it!"
