Review by Carlitooo
Ein richtig schöner und runder Sipper aus Madeira. Der perfekte everyday Rum und sehr lecker im Daiquiri
Review by FaoRouge
Gekauft, weil etwas im Geruch mich anzog, wie Katzenminze meinen Kater. Geschmack am Anfang, etwas holziger als erwartet, aber dann…der Abgang ist für mich gar nicht so kurz wie hier oft beschrieben und dann, wenn ich dachte das war’s, kam die Komponente im Geruch, die mich so anzog, nur jetzt intensiv als Geschmack, am Zungengrund, im Atem… Leider kann ich diese Komponente nicht beschreiben, keinen Vergleich bringen. Ich denke nicht jeder wird so euphorisch wie ich reagieren, aber wem beim Riechen eben diese Note positiv, aber unbekannt, auffallen sollte, der sollte ihn auch testen.

I find it much better than the previous reviews, very nice starter 👌🏼
Review by Blockzeitwilli
Schwache Nase mit leichter Frucht und florale Töne. Leider nur kurzer Abgang ebenfalls sehr leicht fruchtig und floral. Sehr leichter Rum. PLV passt für mich nicht recht.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall an OK everyday rum that I expected to be more complex because of all the different casks used. This William Hinton Agricole produced by the Engenho Novo Distillery in Madeira is a blend aged for a minimum of six years in ex-Port, ex-Madeira, ex-Sherry, ex-Bourbon and ex-Brandy casks.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
unfortunately very short finish and too watered down, but the basic profile is quite exciting
Review by Christian Rudt
Not quite my cup of tea and clearly too light, but overall very balanced with predominantly nutty aromas at first. There is also the influence of the different casks. Port wine and sherry at the finish are quite strong. The base is right but that's about it.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum de gamme permanente sympathique pour découvrir le style portugais. Le nez est frais et agréable, porté par des notes florales, de la pêche et du raisin sec. L’influence du porto se fait ressentir au même titre que le boisé, les épices douces, le sucre brun et le chocolat. Le profil est doux et varié. Toutefois, les choses se compliquent une fois en bouche. Le goût est un peu trop dilué et emportée par le fût (notamment porto et sherry). Le raisin sec, le boisé gourmand, pimenté, chocolaté et caramélisé en font un profil très doux mais un peu lassant à la longue. L’alcool n’est pas mal intégré, mais il est très présent sur les influences des différents fûts de vieillissement. La finale est courte et développe peu d’arômes. Quelques notes herbacées viennent jouer les troubles-fête sur le profil épicé, rôti et sec que propose ce rhum. Une sortie qui partait pourtant bien au nez mais qui souffre cruellement en bouche, une version avec un plus haut degré d’alcool mériterait d’être testée afin de voir si le problème est structurel ou inhérent à la dilution.

I dont like the taste. At least it looks like the rum is properly made, no addictions
