The William Hinton "3 Years" Madeira Rum is a delightful discovery for rum enthusiasts, distilled from the distillery's own sugar cane juice using a Column Still and aged for three years in French oak barrels. Boasting a 40% ABV, this Agricole rum offers a woody, caramel, and vanilla aroma with hints of pear and tropical fruit. The nose is enjoyable, intertwining sweet aromas of caramel, vanilla, pear, and citrus, providing a rich and complex bouquet. On the palate, it surprises with a mix of woody and tropical fruit flavors, accompanied by alcoholic, chocolate, and spicy notes. The finish is rather long, reflecting the same delightful flavors experienced on the palate. While it has received diverse feedback, ranging from a reasonably priced, enjoyable sipper to a rum more suitable for mixing, it shows promise for being an interesting addition to any collection. Whether sipped or mixed, the French oak influence is noticeable, and it brings out more vegetal aspects when mixed, offering a clean finish.
