Portuguese Fortified Wine Cask Finish is a unique and rare Agricole rum that consists of a 6-year-old rum blended with one of the very last rums to be produced in the historic “Engenho do Hinton” which closed in 1985.
No color or flavor has been added, the vivid aroma profiles and the robust tasting notes result from a 6-month finish in a carefully selected 225L Ex-Portuguese Fortified Wine Cask from the North of Portugal. The fermented sugar cane juice underwent a single distillation in a century-old column still and the subtropical climate of Madeira Island allowed for an exceptional maturation.
Destined for a selected few, a great voyage of the senses awaits within.

PROCESS
Our 6-year-old rum, carefully aged in French oak barrels, has been blended with a 25-year-old rum, certainly one of the last rums to be produced at the old Hinton Mill facility, the latter was also subjected to a new aging process in our casks for another 3 years.
Finally, the product that resulted from this unique combination of rums of different ages was subjected to a final stage with a duration of 9 months.

Clear, dark amber, bright.
Aroma
A rum with a vivid personality, sweet nose, with lots of spice, vanilla and touches of cinnamon, candied fruit, king cake, dried fruit, tobacco leaf. A complex rum that needs time to be enjoyed in its fullness, the addition of water helps us to enter into another dimension of aromas.
Flavor
A full-bodied rum, dry with some stringency and presence of wood tannins that previously contained port wine. Fruit notes with wood, licorice, vanilla and cinnamon. Dry finish with a hot sensation that stays for a long time, ends slightly spicy.
