Engenho Casa do Engenho 1889
Loved by Martin Ekrt
A for-curious-explorers cane‑juice rum with dry, woody, vegetal notes that lean more toward whisky or armagnac than classic molasses rum. Best for sipping slowly and comparing to agricoles, not as an easy starter dram.
- Whisky‑like profile
- Dry, unsweetened
- Interesting vegetal notes

Dry, woody, vegetal, quite niche A for-curious-explorers cane‑juice rum with dry, woody, vegetal notes that lean more toward whisky or armagnac than classic molasses rum. Best for sipping slowly and comparing to agricoles, not as an easy starter dram.
Curious explorers who enjoy dry, cane‑juice or agricole‑style rums and whisky/armagnac crossovers, and who want an unsweetened, wood‑forward profile with herbal and vegetal nuances.
Newcomers or those preferring sweet, smooth rums; anyone sensitive to medicinal or mineral notes, or who dislikes a very wood‑driven, slightly harsh profile.

Review by Martin Ekrt
Vůně příjemná bylinná, jablko nebo pečené jablko ala štrůdl, skořice. Chuťově hezky ovocný s bylinným nádechem. Závěr hřejivý, bylinky, ovoce, štrůdl, skořice, propsaný sud. Za mě fajn překvapení, lehce mi připomíná Clement XO.
Review by Solidfunk
24 days of rum #6. Pot-pourri and a hint of paint varnish. Golden pour. Maybe a little tangerine. Not bad and great to see non cachasa rum from Brazil. A little on the harsh side but smoothes out on the finish.

Nummer 6 aus dem 24 Days of Rum Adventskalender. In der Nase rieche ich irgendwie Benzin heraus. Dazu leicht holzig und Vanille. Der Rum kommt aus Brasilien. Im Geschmack ebenso eine leichte Vanille Note. Muss man nicht unbedingt haben
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
24 Days of Rum 2024 - Black Edition - Day 06 Erster Eindruck: verströmt beim Einschenken einen angenehm fruchtigen Geruch, Legs im Glas Nase: fruchtig, Wein, leicht vanillig Gaumen: scharf und eindimensional, mehr Armangnac als Rum, später nur noch Holz und Fass Abgang: mittellang, zum Ende ganz leicht bitter aber nicht unangenehm Gesamteindruck: den Kontrast zwischen Nase und Gaumen empfinde ich enttäuschend, der zur Abwertung von >6 (angenehm) zu <6 (mittelmäßig) führte. Sind immerhin auch keine Fehlaromen enthalten … eben mittelmäßig.

Sample no.6 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2024. Agricole rum on the nose and palate. Earthy vegetal notes with that fermented sugarcane juice sting.
Review by Andreas Renöfält
I can only taste barrel. Not pleasant at all.

"Very nice craft rum. It is very heavy, vegetal and smoky. Reminds me a lot of whisky besides the agricole like taste."Read full review →
