Description
Fresh, crisp and unaged - this is one of Madeira's best rum-kept secrets. Using hands-on production techniques, every single piece of sugarcane has been cut by hand. This is a unique agricole rum distillation rarely seen in the rum world, taking place in a single pot still. Framed by ripe bananas, this batch carries big olive-y notes with dashes of peppercorn and sea salt seasoning for a powerful finish.
Tasting notes
Nose: Green bananas and leafy vegetal notes spring from the grass first, followed by vibrant black pepper and that signature saline olive note.
Palate: It’s all about those green notes, framed by the signature unripe banana. The black peppercorn is still there, alongside a sea salt quality. A textbook unaged cane juice rum
Finish: Crisp, powerful and vegetal-led.
