William Hinton 3-Year

Något "platt" i smaken men ändå ganska ok smak och doft.

Had just a sample for the test so it’s just a first impression. If I run into a bottle I probably will buy it so I can dig deeper into it.
They are using their own sugar cane for the production and use sugar cane juice, so it’s an Agricole.
It’s distilled in a column still and then aged for 3 years in French oak barrels.
From the aroma to finish, which is rather long, I can recognize caramel, vanilla, citrus, raisins and oak. The oak isn’t dominant at all, probably because it’s so young. More aged Agricole has normally much more oak taste.
Picture: My emptied sample.

Agricole aroma with tones of menthol and oak wood. Taste is sweet and warming. Not typical rum taste, but not bad at all.

I just had a weird feeling of this rum. Not a bouquet I like, and a funny taste (which is the most positive way I can express it). The only thing I like is the label...Sorry. (Based on tasting a 2cl sample)

Vanilla in the nose. In the mounth slightly alcoholic but still vanilla. Probably better in a cocktail than pure.

beautiful agricole rum from Madeira :-) From the old Hinton rum maker

Meilleur que leur rhum blanc mais ce n'est pas encore un rhum de dégustation. Bon en ti punch ou en cocktail.

Had a bottle Christmas 2019 and me and my brother in law shared it neat and we both really enjoyed it, you could really get the Madeira barrel aging which marked it out as different from anything else I've had. Would buy again at the right price.

I bought this one on the island of Madeira for 10€ and was surprised how good it tasted. compared to some others I had on the island its very uncomplicated to drink. first minutes you'll have the typical glue smell of younger agricoles, but this will vanish after some minutes, but you'll also find fruity, floral and vanilla notes from the beginning, very nice.
the taste is from the beginning very smooth with some pudding-like vanilla aroma and floral notes, and even a nice long aftertaste. totally recommend this if you're on the island. double or triple the price would be too much.

I don't like this rum. Taste like brandy with wood. Smell like ethanol.
