Aroma visualization from community tastings
TBRC Engenhos do Norte Madeira, Portugal
Most tasters land in the same warm spot: this Madeiran column rum tastes distinctly of its island, with red wine tannins, dried red fruits, honey and cocoa over fresh sugarcane. One member calls it "strong, bold with Madeira hint," and several love the oily, soft mouthfeel. The main sticking point is those wine notes — one reviewer admitted they weren't for him.
The community says- Oily soft texture
- Dried-fruit and cocoa
- Red wine tannins

The look inside the bottle
How does TBRC Engenhos do Norte Madeira, Portugal taste?
Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Wine-tannic Madeira sipper, fruity and honeyed Well-liked as a typical, aromatic Madeira: honey, dried fruit, cocoa and red wine tannins over sugarcane. The wine-and-tannin character is what divides people who otherwise rate it highly.

Review by HenryL
Pleasant smell, for me dominates a fresh note paired with wood and some fruit.An incredible mouthfeel, super soft and pleasantly oily. Fruity notes are in the foreground in the taste, out the back comes some menthol to it.The nose is good, the taste the hammer!
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Exellent! Strong, bold with Madeira hint. I like that.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Madeira rum. obviously loads of madeira flavours, baking spices, tannins, dried red fruits. Very thick flavoured. Simply lovely.

Didn't love the blanc but really works with a bit of age.
Review by Lucas Scrivener
Approachable rum for all drinkers, a touch green without being funky and sweet without giving you a cavity.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
grandiose Madeira Rum!on the nose dark dark chocolate and mint, plus red berries, vanilla and caramel cookies. very tasty!taste then again cocoa, discreet mint, roasted pecans, pepper and in the finish everything goes in the direction of fruit bread with dried fruit but also a few exotic fruits like mango and papaya over. all Accompanied by a light menthol freshness and not too much wood. very nice!
