This distillation of pure juice from the island of Madeira is a concentrate of sugar cane and terroir.
Nico's tasting notes
The first nose is powerful, with a deliberate cane that has gained character through contact with wood. Despite this, it remains a tender heart, already revealing heady floral scents. Red fruit tannins mingle with flower petals. Full-bodied tobacco meets thick cane juice, or vice versa. The rum continues to open up and gain fullness, while becoming terribly gourmand.
Aeration gives the rum a very concentrated side, with exotic fruits that are almost reminiscent of the English tradition. These fruits are copiously coated with honey and tobacco, with a flow of milk chocolate and caramel. The wood becomes a little more exposed, bringing back natural sugarcane and muscovado.
The attack on the palate is deliciously concentrated, and it seems as if the coating of honey and tobacco has given way, spilling cooked, sticky cane juice. The wood is white and mellow, imbued with sunny, gently spiced rum. Concentration continues to be the watchword, and the cane is overwhelmingly delicious. For a moment, the pepper increases in intensity, before being immediately taken over by a wave as sticky as resin.
The finish offers a light rancio, with fat and nuts, then the chili pepper settles at the back of the tongue.
"A spectacular rhum agricole, with a delicious concentration of sugarcane coated with honey and blond tobacco..."
