William Hinton Edicao Limitada Natural Rum Lot 2 / 2019 offers a rare and powerful glimpse into the world of authentic Rum Agricola from the island of Madeira, Portugal. This strictly limited release, with only 250 bottles produced in this lot, commands attention with its significantly higher proof (69% ABV), delivering an intense and assertive character prized by rum connoisseurs. It captures the spirit of Madeira, an island with a sugarcane history predating even the Caribbean.
Produced under the William Hinton marque by Engenho Novo Da Madeira, this exceptional rum begins with fresh sugarcane juice, pressed from hand-harvested varieties POJ-2725 and NCO-370 grown in Estreito da Calheta. Its unique profile is shaped by distillation in a carefully restored, single-column copper still that has operated for over a century. This traditional continuous distillation, expertly overseen by distiller Emanuel Camacho, results in a spirit of remarkable depth.
While undeniably potent, the Edicao Limitada showcases impressive complexity. The nose offers high-toned citrus aromas, transitioning to a distinctively savory and grassy palate on tasting. A subtle, underlying salinity provides a balancing counterpoint to the rum’s natural intensity. This bottling represents a pure, undiluted expression of Madeiran sugarcane juice rum, reflecting the island's unique terroir and the heritage revived by William Hinton. It is an essential experience for enthusiasts seeking expressive, high-ester, agricole-style rums.
