Rhum 970 is an Agricole produced by Engenhos do Norte in Madeira.
This vintage, 2010, is possible to find at at least two different agings after what I’ve found out. One is 8yo and bottled in 2018 and one is 11yo bottled in 2021. Which one you buy or have can be read on the backside label.
It’s the latter one I review here.
The aroma is quite intense and burnt rubber dominates but it’s also a little bit spicy and fruity.
In mouth, at palate and during the medium long finish it tastes very much like the described aromas above, but I also detect some vanilla together with some sweetness.
Overall an quite interesting rum that could have been even better at an higher ABV.

Nez: sucre/caramel, une pointe de vanille, des notes épicées, une légère touche de mangue
Bouche: attaque sérieuse, mais teintée de rondeur toutefois. La vanille prend un peu le dessus sur le caramel qui dominait clairement le nez. Quelques touches poivrées.
Finale: très longue et beaucoup plus subtile qu'en bouche. On reste sur le poivré en début de finale, puis cette dernière s'affine vers le boisé et fruitée, avec une poire très présente à la deuxième gorgée.

On retourne volontiers vers la gorgée suivante pour essayer d'étudier plus en profondeur les notes multiples de cet excellent rhum qui devrait plaire autant aux amateurs de rhum agricoles que de rhum de mélasse. C'est en tout cas mon cas!

Good rum from madeira. Colour is quite dark. Tasty but not so smooth. Great for making poncha. Not so great for sipping.
