William Hinton White
Built as a mixer but drinkable neat if you brace for the 69%, this Madeira agricole leads with fresh sugarcane, grapefruit and briny olive, with a menthol-eucalyptus edge that keeps showing up. Several tasters catch a whiff of gas or petrol on first pour before the citrus and lychee arrive. Long, herbal, faintly sweet finish — a white that changes with air.
The community says- Fresh sugarcane, olive
- Bright grapefruit

Fresh, high-proof cane-juice white agricole Well-liked white agricole: fresh cane, grapefruit and olive, with a menthol lift. The heat isn't fully tamed at 69%, and a gassy opening throws some people, but it settles into something fresh and lively.

69°... Enough to make your jaw drop. And yet, it goes down well. Nice sweetness, but the menthol/eucalyptus aspect on the nose and palate is what really stands out for me. The finish is long, both fresh and warm (a strange contradiction, isn't it :)).

#6383 21.02.2026 Enjoying a set of samples my friend brought for us to enjoy. This was a surprisingly good rum, especially when looking at the price tag. Despite this being a mixer rum it also makes a pretty good sipper. Medium intense with nice sugarcane, cirtrus and olive and a nice log herbal finish.
Review by Morgan Garet
The nose starts off badly, surprisingly, as a smell of gas dominates....PUIS transformation, grapefruit and lychee arrive, very fresh. On the palate, the scent is more of 69°, grapefruit and sugarcane dominate, with a slight spiciness. The freshness lingers on the palate for quite some time. A nice surprise!
Review by Johannes
Great fruity notes! But the alcohol is not really well integrated. The finish is very astringent.
Review by fg.spi974
Nice discovery, my first rum from Madeira. Attracted by the price, origin, and alcohol content, I was charmed by the very sugarcane side, complemented by olive and citrus. Special mention for the purely alcoholic/varnish aspect, which is very well controlled. Pleasant neat, I find it has a little less complexity in a ti’punch.
Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is explosive and intense with notes of fermented fruit, tobacco, corn, cream, others metallic/acidic and full-bodied citrus. On the palate it is absolutely dynamite, with hints of fruit spirits, metallic and dry, others rich in pepper and citrus zest, vegetables/legumes, delicate esters and in the background some sweet cane and something fresh/mentholy that comes together in the finish along with pepper and a savory note. The finish is quite persistent. It manages to be fresh and warm at the same time, unique rum. In the empty glass fermented and oleander flowers.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
A fantastic white with a strong character and a fine balance between sweetness and fresh cane, this is Madeira, and you'll want to stay!
Review by Fasen
Quite a surprising rum, I feel like I'm at the gas station (Diesel) :'). Luckily, that's not all there is, it's also slightly tropical fruity (Pineapple / Mango), orchard fruits (Apple / Pear) and very citrusy (Grapefruit / Mandarin / Bitter orange). It's powerful and spicy (Pepper / Anise) but well balanced with a hint of sweetness (Syrupy / Sugar cane) all enhanced by an iodized and empyreumatic dimension (Copper / Gasoline) as well as a nice vegetal side (Hay / Herbal / Menthol / Green olive in brine). A beautiful rum that’s a bit different, quite well balanced with a nice texture on the palate but lacking a bit of aromatic power and length!

Rhum Fest Paris 2025 Great rum with many olives and sugarcane.
Review by Solidfunk
Smells of lychee and a little vanilla. Rambotan pours water clear. In the mouth, theres a little licorice. This is a fun base to start with, I'll definitely look for some of their aged rums. Some floral. Long finish with some sweetness and some alcohol burn. Split thanks to Moss.
