“Tasted this rum with a good friend that bought it during a trip to Madeira which has a long tradition of making sugar and rum. The first Engenho (sugar mill) in Madeira is from 1452 and they produced sugar from sugar cane on the island until 1986. Rum from molasses has been distilled since the early 16th century and the first agricultural rum was produced in the mid 17th century. Nowadays there’s four distilleries on the island. The biggest one is Engenhos Do Norte. Established in 1927, and produces this brand among others. It’s distilled in Barbet copper columns whereafter it’s placed in French oak barrels for at least 6 years before blended, reduced and bottled. After what I’ve heard is it a very typical traditional Madeira rum.”

“Ebenfalls ein easy sipper aus Madeira. Nicht ganz so komplex wie der William Hinton aber ebenfalls super. Bisschen zu viel Tannine für mich”

“A young Agricole from Madeira with many floral notes. Sugar cane/caramel, fruit, some wood, spices and a dry drinking experience.”
