This rum, Beneficiado 980, is produced by Engenhos do Norte in Madeira.
It’s made from cane juice and Madeira is btw the only place besides the French Overseas Departments that’s is recognized as producer of Agricole by the EU.
It’s a blend of rum distilled in column stills aged for 3 respectively 6 years in French ex-wine barrels as well as some aged for 21 years in French ex-Madeira wine barrels.
The name, Beneficiado 980 comes from that the brand was introduced 1980 and Beneficiado means that there is some Cane Honey added to round it up.
The nose is fruity and woody with aromas of leather, citrus and solvents.
In mouth and at the palate it’s dry, fruity and woody with tastes of leather, solvents and tobacco.
The rather short finish is dry and fruity with tastes of leather.
Overall an Agricole with a great nose, but with a rather weak taste.
Picture: My emptied sample with a poured glass, one of them out in snow.

Velmi příjemná vůně po teplém dřevě, lehounce esterech, smetanových karamelkách. Chuť to všechno kopíruje, ale plytce. Tohle je na láhev za večer, ale na usrkávání ne.

I've just got 5cl tester, and it seems sufficiently enjoyable example, even if not exhibiting something special, which might be expected from the agricola variety. Can't tell from decent general rum, except fragrant trace in mouth several minutes past sipping. Doesn't have much of vanilla in it, too.

Strong but still tasty at the beginning 🥃 Actually third best rum from Madeira 👍 Very dark brown... Pretty alcoholic... Not to strong aftertaste ...

Been in Madeira in December 2020 and tried some of their rums, must say that all are quite good, compared to younger agricoles I tried from French oversea regions. This one has typical glue mixed with some wood on the nose, a little harsh on the tongue, but after 5 -10 minutes in the glass, the alcohol vanishes a little and it leaves a pleasant but honest, not too sweet rum aroma in my mouth. I tried the 970 brand of them as well and must say, that I would prefer it to this one.

I don't really like agricole rum.
However, this one is easy to drink for a agricole.

Suchý, pálivý Agricole rum, téměř bez chuti. Prostě destilát z cukrové třtiny který si na nic nehraje.
