William Hinton 3 Years
"Surprisingly good for a three year," one taster said, expecting just a mixer — and that's the honest range here. This young Madeira agricole leans on toffee, oak and vanilla, with lemon, raisin and a vegetal cane note that wakes up most when you mix it. Several found it simple and a touch hot, with the barrel doing most of the talking.
- Toffee and vanilla
- Vegetal cane note
- Easy entry agricole

How does William Hinton 3 Years taste?
Aggregated from 69 community reviews.
Young, simple agricole, better mixed A young, straightforward agricole. Some find it a pleasant easy sipper; others call it thin, oak-dominated and a little harsh. Most agree it shines more in a mix than neat.

C'est frais, le nez sur la canne et le citron, en bouche les fruits secs et le citron dominent pour finir sur un léger boisé.

Tasted at the Whisky & Rum aan Zee festival IJmuiden 2023. Very simple Agricole style rum.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un jeune rhum de Madère tout en simplicité, ouvrant le nez sur des notes boisées, vanillées et légèrement épicées, puis surtout des fruits, notamment le citron, le raisin et quelque chose de plus exotique. Il y a une petite touche florale qui vient se poser dans les narines. C’est globalement doux et calme, assez pour permettre aux novices d’approcher ce type de rhum. La bouche renferme un peu plus de caractère, notamment avec un boisé plus prononcé avec le fût. Les épices sont plus relevées avec le piment, tandis que le côté agricole et herbacé fait son apparition avec la canne à sucre. Malgré les fruits tropicaux et le raisin sec, le profil développe un légère amertume et une touche alcoolique (sûrement issue du terroir). L’alcool reste assez bien intégré. La finale, assez courte, part sur des notes plus rôties et le tabac. On retrouve le côté boisé et agricole, les fruits secs, un peu d’épices et un soupçon de caramel. Un rhum simple et direct mais plutôt bien fait pour un rhum d’entrée de gamme.
Review by Henry Davies
Surprisingly good for a three year which was expecting to be a mixing rhum. Toffee oak and vanilla are the overwhelming notes on the tongue, enjoyable nose, when mixed the Agricole notes really come to life with more vegetal aspects and a clean finish

Review by Stefan Persson
The distillery uses their own sugar cane for the production and use sugar cane juice, so it’s an Agricole. In the near future (May 2021) it’s just Madeira, besides the French Overseas Departments, that could call their rum for Agricole if sold inside the EU. It’s distilled in a column still and then aged for three years in French oak barrels. The finish is rather long and tastes the same as on the palate.
Review by Matiss
Solid, nice,pleasent to drink not much complexity becouse the barrel influence is noticeable and dominates other flavors, nonetheless a reasonably priced sipper.

De l'agricole sans grandes saveurs...
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another sampler at the mall and again not a sipper for me. My guess is a mixer or punch for this one.
Review by Luks
Décevant, manque de complexité et de rondeur (un peu jeune) Raisin secs.
Review by Mike H.
42 points. I received this as a freebie with some samples. Nothing much stands out, some wood, caramel and vanilla in the nose. Tropical fruit and alcoholic on the palate. Not my cup of tea or should I say glass of rum 😂
Review by Tom Buteneers
Teleurstellend, heel direct zonder diepgang of smaakevolutie. Branderig in de neus. Smaak doet denken aan goedkope whisky. Overwegend vat en alcohol in de smaak. Vond het zelfs niet de moeite om echt de tijd voor te nemen.
Review by Tyler Griffith
Artificial, chemical taste and aftertaste. Nose is slightly better than the taste. Slight spice.
