Engenhos do Norte 970 Single Cask Edition 2007
"Almost like an old sherry cask," one taster said, and that captures this Madeira agricole well: French oak soaked in Madeira wine dominates, with dried plum, cassis, blackberry and cherries pulled dry. Tobacco, cinnamon, dark chocolate, sandalwood and a whiff of menthol round it out. At 55% it's thick, woody and very dry — a couple of members wished for a bit more fruit.
The community says- Complex and layered
- Dried fruit, tobacco
- Extremely woody

The look inside the bottle
How does Engenhos do Norte 970 Single Cask Edition 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 22 community reviews.
Dry, woody Madeira cask sipper Complex, wood-forward Madeira single cask that drinks bone dry. Most find it warming and intriguing; the main gripe is that the fruit gets buried under all that oak.

Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
A very thick and woody 970 rum. French oak soaked with madeira wine. It's very prominent. I do get a hint of it's agricole base. Lots of winterly spices. Whiff of menthol. Cherries and black currants (dryish). Pretty good. Retry: almost like an old sherry cask. Dried raisins. Currants. Still very very good.
Review by Dre73
Thick, powerful, dirty touch, warming. Very nice one.
Review by Johannes
Schöner komplexer 970, bei dem mir etwas die Früchte fehlen.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely dry, musty and woody, fruity Madeira single cask. Tobacco, cassis, prune, grape & blackberry, lots of wood, cinnamon, subtle tobacco and mint, sandalwood and generally extremely woody notes, dark chocolate, as well as leather and some menthol. You have to like it!
