Engenhos do Norte Rum Agricola de Madeira Distilled in Pot Still (Limited Release) 2020
The green olive and brine note is the surprise here — a savory, saline twist you don't expect from cane juice. Underneath it: fresh green apple, pear, lime and mint that had one taster thinking mojito, plus a real metallic edge from the pot still. It's a dry, vegetal white agricole with character. A few call it divisive, most end up liking it.
The community says- Fresh cane and pear
- Olive-brine savory note
- Metallic pot-still edge

Review by Nika
White rums addict rising up this bottle’s rating. 💪🏼 Black currents running up my nose the way, that I actually feel it in the mouth. I am not a huge fan of vegetal taste at the end in other rums. Here it kinda fits. Next trip - Madeira. 🗺
Review by Jonathan Massard
Nez, Une canne vivace et expressive. Du citron vert, de la menthe, sa sent le mojito ! De la pomme verte acidulée aussi. En bouche, sucrosité de la canne fraîche, de la poire pochée, des épices et un aspect métallique (le pot still est bien présent). Un aspect salin étonnant et une finale astringente sur l'olive verte, sur la saumure. Très bon dans son genre, encore un bon exemple du savoir faire de Madère.

Unfassbar geil im daiquiri!
Review by Johannes
Nase ist sehr schön fruchtig mit viel Birne, am Gaumen etwas weniger fruchtig als erwartet, aber trotzdem gut.
Review by Henry Davies
Solid interesting potstill, nice Agricole nose, the ABV carries it well, overall it’s a cracking white pot still. Starts with a slight floor polish and mango, the mouth is creamy, finishes in light creamy pepper sauce

It seems weird how all of these newer pot still rums have these weird olive water note. This one manages to hold its weirdness down, because not everything can be Paranubes. Still it is rather pleasent.
