This from the Engenho Novo Distillery while Indeed, some Madeiran rums do benefit from a protected appellation 'agricole', just like Martinique – and unlike many 'fake' agricoles that are currently made in several countries around the world. Only the 40% vol. sound a little stingy here… Colour: copper. Some wine wood, probably. Nose: this feeling of smoked gooseberries, roasted chestnuts, absinth, mead, toasted oak, then rather cinnamon rolls and a little caraway. It's very idiosyncratic, as they say. Mouth: good fun, between cachaça, smoked pastis (no, really) and indeed, toasted oak. Clove, caraway and lapsang souchong, then a little mustard sauce and walnut wine. Finish: medium, with a little oak extract, black tea, a little aniseed again, clove, mustard… We're reminded of some very dry Madeira wines. And sauce Madère, as we say. Comments: surprisingly excellent at only 40% vol. Love sweet mustard. We had tried a 3 yo a few months ago that we didn't like this much, and that's an understatement.
