Aroma visualization from community tastings
Ferroni Santo Antao Vulcao
If you already chase clairin and raw cane-juice grogue, this Cape Verde pot-still is your lane. Unaged and grassy, it swings between fresh sugarcane and pear on the nose and a heavy nail-polish, solvent streak that not everyone gets past. The palate turns vegetal, mineral, peppery, a little salty. One taster caught real fermented funk; another found it thin and watery. Divisive by nature.
The community says- Fresh cane juice
- Clairin-style funk
- But: Loud nail polish

The look inside the bottle
How does Ferroni Santo Antao Vulcao taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Raw, solvent-heavy Cape Verde cane spirit Split hard. Fans of clairin-style cane spirit like the grassy, smoky funk; others find the solvent and nail-polish too loud, and one thought it tasted watered down.

Review by Frank
Barbosa, M&G, Vulcao in comparison... Nose: vegetal, fermented and slightly vinegar, a little more lemon than the other two. Again sauerkraut and cucumber. Nose closer to the M&G, very light caramel note and slightly resinous. Palate: similar to the M&G, superficially sour, slightly salty and resinous. Artificially planty and herbal. A somewhat unpleasant lemon balm and toilet stone mixture. Unfortunately, I don't really like it either. Of the three, the Barbosa is the most pleasing.
Review by Eric Frechin
Dégusté à l aveugle. Le nez me fait penser à un agricole avec un doux parfum de canne, c est rond agréable fruité de poire mûre et une petite touche co.combre, j imagine même une fermentation un peu plus longue .la bouche est plus sur des éléments, du végétal, minéral et Iodé. J ai la sensation d' une proximité maritime.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Difficile de trouver des arômes à ce rhum tellement les solvants et l’odeur de vernis à ongle est important. La bouche s’ouvre plus sur la canne à sucre et les épices mais le goût du solvant persiste, pareil pour la fin de bouche.
Review by Léo Delek
Me fait bcp penser à un clairin. Notes fumées et canne fraiche.
Review by Pablo Verdat
Fort en bouche, reste bien avec un excellent arrière goût
Review by Righrum
Not bad, just nothing exciting to be found here
Review by Mc Pirate
Nez discret sur la canne à sucre et bouche horrible, extrêmement dilué, une impression de coupage à l’eau 1/3 rhum 2/3 d’eau. Il faudra regoûter une autre bouteille, trop d’écart entre les avis !
Review by Mat Toup
Odeur pas très agréable
