William Hinton White
Built as a mixer but drinkable neat if you brace for the 69%, this Madeira agricole leads with fresh sugarcane, grapefruit and briny olive, with a menthol-eucalyptus edge that keeps showing up. Several tasters catch a whiff of gas or petrol on first pour before the citrus and lychee arrive. Long, herbal, faintly sweet finish — a white that changes with air.

Fresh, high-proof cane-juice white agricole Well-liked white agricole: fresh cane, grapefruit and olive, with a menthol lift. The heat isn't fully tamed at 69%, and a gassy opening throws some people, but it settles into something fresh and lively.

Review by Morgan Garet
The nose starts off badly, surprisingly, as a smell of gas dominates....PUIS transformation, grapefruit and lychee arrive, very fresh. On the palate, the scent is more of 69°, grapefruit and sugarcane dominate, with a slight spiciness. The freshness lingers on the palate for quite some time. A nice surprise!
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
A fantastic white with a strong character and a fine balance between sweetness and fresh cane, this is Madeira, and you'll want to stay!
Review by Rum man
Rhum Fest Paris 2025 Great rum with many olives and sugarcane.
Review by Johannes
Great fruity notes! But the alcohol is not really well integrated. The finish is very astringent.
Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is explosive and intense with notes of fermented fruit, tobacco, corn, cream, others metallic/acidic and full-bodied citrus. On the palate it is absolutely dynamite, with hints of fruit spirits, metallic and dry, others rich in pepper and citrus zest, vegetables/legumes, delicate esters and in the background some sweet cane and something fresh/mentholy that comes together in the finish along with pepper and a savory note. The finish is quite persistent. It manages to be fresh and warm at the same time, unique rum. In the empty glass fermented and oleander flowers.
