2020 William Hinton Smoked Rum 2 x 0.70L Madeira's Rum VINIFICATION Our Smoked Rum was created for tough, bearded legends, intrepid souls who brave turbulent seas, light crackling bonfires, and face the world's challenges head-on with unwavering determination. It's much more than a rum… It's a spirit that speaks to the adventurer within, evoking memories of salty voyages and nights spent under starry skies. It's an agricultural rum, wild and uncompromising, with a character as strong as the pirates who brought rum to the world. It's an exceptional drink that pulsates with the pure energy of Madeira sugarcane juice, a carefully selected nectar, fermented and distilled in our distillery. Its unique profile results from a blend of rums aged between 3 and 5 years, carefully aged in ex-peated whisky barrels, which takes this agricultural rum to new levels of complexity and intensity. In harmony with the smoke – raw, fiery, and indescribable – it creates a bold sensory experience that is impossible to forget. This is not a drink for the faint of heart. It is a spirit that demands respect, created for those with calloused hands, wild spirits, and an insatiable thirst for adventure. It is for dreamers and doers, sailors and storytellers, those who seek the extraordinary in life. This Smoked Rum transcends the glass, becoming a companion for those who dare to live life boldly, a liquid reminder of the wild and wonderful world that awaits beyond the horizon. TASTING NOTES A clear and brilliant rum with an attractive golden color and yellow reflections. Pungent on the nose, it reveals youth, irreverence, and a smoky note. Intense and aromatic, this agricultural rum, aged for 3 years in oak casks, is marked by caramelized notes, smoky wood, and spices (such as black pepper and cloves), joined by notes of whisky. A green vegetal trace and citrus freshness enhance the aromatic complexity. This Smoky Rum from William Hinton reveals itself as smooth and moderately full-bodied on the palate with a persistent note of toasted caramel. On the palate, it reveals notes of vanilla, black pepper, nuts, wood, and smoky notes. It finishes slightly dry and warm with persistent smoky notes. SERVING Perfect to accompany dark chocolate, cured cheeses such as aged Gouda, grilled or smoked meats, and caramelized dried fruits, such as pecans or toasted almonds, enhancing the vanilla and wood notes. HISTORY The island of Madeira started the sugar culture at the same time and of its colonization in 1425. The Hinton family dominated the sugarcane sector during the second half of the 19th century and first half of the XX century due to its developed industrial unit that got to process 600 tons day. It is still an old column of the old Hinton mill that currently produces this careful spirit in a brand recovered by a direct family member because of the affection he had to the sector. Currently the brand besides devoting itself to the production of its new Rum is committed to its aging. PLEASE NOTE: This is a recurring auction.
