Traditional rum drinkers, beginners expecting sweetness, and anyone who dislikes peat smoke or finds whisky cask influence off-putting in rum.

Review by Stefan Persson
This Agricole from Madeira is especially produced for the 1423 Calendar 2021. Overall an very interesting Agricole, maybe with too much whisky taste. I believe I must explore more rums from William Hinton.
Review by rum_sk
Wow, I reviewed today supposedly peaty plantation stiggins fancy after teeling whiskey. It is not. No smoke no peat. This one you sense the smoked bacon right away. And when you taste it boy it is weird. Peat all around. I never had something like that and this is exactly ehat I was expecting when someone says peated finish. Now I am bot saying it is great but it is very very different and original but I cant imagine my self drinking more than one 2cl sample.
Review by DJ Wolfson
I’m not a whiskey fan, but I imagine this would be a nice stepping stone into rum if you are one. Personally, this is not something I’d enjoy.
Review by Skyfly
Ohne es zu wissen hatte es auch ein im Rumfass gereifter Whisky sein können. Torf und Rauch domieten hier alles. Wenn man genau aufpasst kann man noch leichte Noten von Vanille erkennen. Interessantes Getränk, aber nicht mein Fall - man muss nicht immer versuchen alles zu kreuzen
Review by Godspeed
I don’t get this one. It’s a rum that seems made for people who don’t like rums and wishes that this was a peated whiskey. So just drink a peated whiskey instead. Other than as a really niche use in cocktails to reach some specialized flavor I don’t think this attempt at pushing whiskey flavors into rum is a success. Maybe they just got a good deal on the barrels?
Review by Rado Vito
I have to admit, I don´t like scotch whisky and that´s why my rating is so low. Nose is very smoky with mint and chocolate. Taste is smooth before the whisky cask element occur - smoke, peat. For lovers of peat whisky it is must have!
Review by Rumpalumpa
Uff, Rum mit getorftem Whisky gekreuzt. Noch nie gesehen sowas und wohl auch mit Grund. Ich persönlich bin kein Fan von stark getorftem Whisky und dieser Rum hat mehr als nur eine leichte Note davon. Nicht für mich.
Review by Necron
Not an impressive rum. Closer to a whiskey than an actual rum. I cannot muster much on this one as it just left a bad taste which i quickly removed with ginger ale. I would not recommend this rum to anyone. It is an unpleasant experience.
