Situated in Porto da Cruz on the northern coast of Madeira, the Engenhos do Norte distillery has a legacy that dates back to 1927. The distillery was established from the merging of fifty smaller rum operations and has since been producing high-quality sugarcane honey and aged agricultural rums. The Rum Artesanal 2016 Engenhos do Norte 3yo is a limited edition rum distilled in 2016 and aged for three years in Madeira wine pre-loaded oak casks before being bottled at 50.4% ABV. This special edition release, comprising only 441 bottles, was released in 2019 and has captivated rum enthusiasts with its unique and harmonious profile. Upon opening the bottle, you're greeted with intense aromas that remind you of red wine, bursting with notes of cherries, blackberries, and young wood, all layered with fresh sugarcane. As you savor the first sip, the palate reveals dominant notes of red wine, cherries, and grapes, underpinned by the earthy essence of sugarcane and a hint of vanilla sweetness. The finish lingers with roasted wood, dark chocolate, and a delicate grassy undertone, showcasing a well-rounded complexity characteristic of both Spanish and French styles. Despite its young age, this rum impresses with its balanced and captivating profile, making it a delightful sipper for both new and experienced rum aficionados. Its unique blend of fruity, spicy, and earthy notes also makes it a versatile choice for various cocktails. Priced around 30 euros upon its release, it offers remarkable value for its quality and complexity.
