MADEIRA RUM O'REIZINHO 6 MONTHS MADEIRA WINE CASK FINISH

The 6-year ageing period took place in barrels containing Madeira wine. This strong and unique signature is the reflection of a terroir that is just as unique. The raw cask bottling emphasises this expressive and generous identity even more

The nose reveals a deep and dense rum; the concentration of the years spent in the barrel is definitely palpable. The cane is more than candied, it aggregates the melted tannins of the wood to transform them into spices, cocoa and toasted cereals. One then imagines a reduced, cooked cane juice, like a caramel or a raw sugar.

The aeration allows to open this rum which has not seen the light nor the open air for 6 long years. All the cane, cocoa, cereal and spice jams unfold and show a striking gourmet intensity. The wood is completely melted and candied, and gives the impression of a caramel milk jam.

The palate is lively and woody, with the oak still very dynamic. The spices and cocoa first hide behind a veil of roast, before emerging in a breath with fine sulphurous highlights. The concentrated and reduced cane is coiled in the wood, radiating intensely, so that it finally breaks through the bark to let its roundly vegetal flavours burst forth.

The finish is like a Madeira "bolo de mel", a soft cake with cane honey and spices.
