To William Hinton
The distillery uses their own sugar cane for the production and use sugar cane juice, so it’s an Agricole. In the near future (May 2021) it’s just Madeira, besides the French Overseas Departments, that could call their rum for Agricole if sold inside the EU. It’s distilled in a column still and then aged for three years in French oak barrels. The finish is rather long and tastes the same as on the palate.
42 points. I received this as a freebie with some samples. Nothing much stands out, some wood, caramel and vanilla in the nose. Tropical fruit and alcoholic on the palate. Not my cup of tea or should I say glass of rum 😂
Un jeune rhum de Madère tout en simplicité, ouvrant le nez sur des notes boisées, vanillées et légèrement épicées, puis surtout des fruits, notamment le citron, le raisin et quelque chose de plus exotique. Il y a une petite touche florale qui vient se poser dans les narines. C’est globalement doux et calme, assez pour permettre aux novices d’approcher ce type de rhum. La bouche renferme un peu plus de caractère, notamment avec un boisé plus prononcé avec le fût. Les épices sont plus relevées avec le piment, tandis que le côté agricole et herbacé fait son apparition avec la canne à sucre. Malgré les fruits tropicaux et le raisin sec, le profil développe un légère amertume et une touche alcoolique (sûrement issue du terroir). L’alcool reste assez bien intégré. La finale, assez courte, part sur des notes plus rôties et le tabac. On retrouve le côté boisé et agricole, les fruits secs, un peu d’épices et un soupçon de caramel. Un rhum simple et direct mais plutôt bien fait pour un rhum d’entrée de gamme.
Another sampler at the mall and again not a sipper for me. My guess is a mixer or punch for this one.
