William Hinton 6 Years Madeira Cask
Opinion divides here: some find it nicely nutty, woody and grape-forward from the Madeira cask, while others call it out of balance and a touch flat. Expect earthy oak, raisin and grape with a roasted edge, and at 42% the alcohol comes through more than the fruit. Several tasters landed on the same word: a decent "Einsteiger" — an easy starter — that doesn't hold attention for long.
The community says- Madeira grape and raisin
- Nutty, roasted oak
- But: Alcohol feels present

Woody, grape-led agricole with a thin finish A fair cane-juice starter with clear Madeira grape and raisin, but tasters split — many find it woody, a bit hot and thin on the finish for what it is.

Review by Fuwi
Phew, that's not enough for the price. It comes across rather flat on the nose, the alcohol is quite present and dominant. The impression is confirmed on the tongue, with woody, earthy influences and a little red fruit, solvent and sugar cane. A good starter due to the low drinking strength, but offers too little to keep you busy for longer
Review by w00tAN
On the nose, you can already smell the sugar cane but accompanied by an alcoholic note. The taste is then completely different: grapes and earth are clearly recognizable, as is a roasted note. The finish is long and alcoholic. Not a bad rum but a little edgy which can be interesting.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I think this is a rum you either like or not. In my mind it's out of balance though you get the Madeira Cask in the profile.
Review by Leo Krüper
Spicy, slightly dry. Pleasant starter. Somewhat watery in the finish due to the 42%.
