The Engenhos Do Norte 2006 Agricole da Madeira 970 Single Cask 14yo 52.3% is a distinguished rum from the picturesque island of Madeira. Distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2020, this 14-year-old gem hails from the Engenhos Do Norte distillery, a family-owned establishment renowned for its meticulous small-batch rums. Crafted from pure cane juice, the rum undergoes distillation in a traditional column still before aging for 14 years in French oak barrels, which previously held Madeira wine.
This agricultural rum is characterized by a robust woody presence, balanced with a soft, buttery texture that avoids astringency. Its rich aroma melds salted butter caramel, cane juice, and ripe fruit, leading to a palate infused with cedar and incense flavors and a powdery texture. Notes of toasted cereals and dark chocolate, along with a faint sulphurous touch, add depth to the experience.
Upon aeration, the rum unveils fresher, more vibrant citrus and jammy notes, reminiscent of mirabelle plum or greengage. The sugarcane essence brightens with citrus undertones, occasionally revealing woody hints of tobacco and gunflint. This unique batch, limited to 279 bottles and bottled without reduction (brut de fut), includes only 18 bottles available for connoisseurs, making it a rare and sought-after treasure.

The finish is long and warm, with spice, bitter licorice, chocolate, and fruit nuances.
