"Almost like an old sherry cask," one taster said, and that captures this Madeira agricole well: French oak soaked in Madeira wine dominates, with dried plum, cassis, blackberry and cherries pulled dry. Tobacco, cinnamon, dark chocolate, sandalwood and a whiff of menthol round it out. At 55% it's thick, woody and very dry — a couple of members wished for a bit more fruit.
The community says- Complex and layered
- Dried fruit, tobacco
- But: Extremely woody

How does Engenhos do Norte 970 Single Cask Edition 2007 taste?
Summarized by AI from 22 community reviews.
Dry, woody Madeira cask sipper Complex, wood-forward Madeira single cask that drinks bone dry. Most find it warming and intriguing; the main gripe is that the fruit gets buried under all that oak.

Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Most helpful positive review
A very thick and woody 970 rum. French oak soaked with madeira wine. It's very prominent. I do get a hint of it's agricole base. Lots of winterly spices. Whiff of menthol. Cherries and black currants (dryish). Pretty good. Retry: almost like an old sherry cask. Dried raisins. Currants. Still very very good.

Extremely dry, musty and woody, fruity Madeira single cask. Tobacco, cassis, prune, grape & blackberry, lots of wood, cinnamon, subtle tobacco and mint, sandalwood and generally extremely woody notes, dark chocolate, as well as leather and some menthol. You have to like it!

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
This now is on the threshold of being very nice. Some complexity now with some saddle and tobacco notes start to make the tasting more intriguing a little bitter in the end but over all a very solid entry.
