The M&G Grogue Natural Tarrafal de Monte Trigo is a unique and traditional rum hailing from the island of Santo Antao in Cape Verde. Crafted by M&G Musica e Grogue, this exquisite white rum is distilled from pure sugarcane juice grown in volcanic soil, without the use of fertilizers or pesticides. Harvested and distilled between January and May, this process yields a spirit with an exceptional flavor profile characterized by notes of fruit, cane, and spices.
On the nose, this rum is natural and generous, offering a concentrated aroma of sugarcane, pepper, and licorice, along with dry notes of its bark. Round vegetable aromas from its fiber are also noticeable, complemented by a beautiful fermentation that sometimes evokes celery, cabbage, and fennel. With aeration, the cane aroma becomes even more prominent, with slightly peppery and licorice notes and a sweet side reminiscent of ketchup or barbecue sauce.
The term "grogue" in Cape Verde is akin to "cachaca" in Brazil, "clairin" in Haiti, and agricultural rum in the French Antilles and Madeira. It signifies rum from a specific terroir and traditional production methods. Grogue has been produced since the 16th century, and local producers continue the artisanal tradition using their "trapiches."
