William Hinton Rum 5 Cask Blend 3YO is a special edition of Madeira agricole rum created exclusively for the 24 Days of Rum 2022 advent calendar. This limited edition was bottled in a run of just 720 bottles and features a carefully crafted maturation process in five different types of casks, giving it a rich and layered character.
The rum was aged for a total of 3 years in a blend of casks previously used for Madeira wine, brandy, whiskey, and fortified wines from Portugal and southern Spain. It is precisely this combination of casks that has given the rum a diverse range of flavors and aromas that intertwine and harmonize without overshadowing its typical agricole soul.
Tasting Profile:
Nose: Sweet, with notes of vanilla and wood.
Palate: Drier, intense, and persistent.
Finish: Smooth and pleasantly lingering.
William Hinton Rum 5 Cask Blend 3YO is a rum for those seeking something unconventional and limited-edition. It combines a fresher agricole character with the influence of diverse casks, which give it greater depth, a subtle sweetness, and an elegant, drier profile.
Recommendation:
Let the rum breathe for a moment so that its aromas and flavors can fully develop.
About the William Hinton brand and distillery:
The William Hinton brand builds on the rich history of rum production in Madeira and the legacy of the British Hinton family, which has been active on the island since the 19th century. A modern chapter began in 2006, when the company Engenho Novo da Madeira (ENM) was founded and revived traditional Madeiran rum production.
The distillery works with sugarcane juice, employs carefully controlled fermentation, and distills using a century-old copper column still, which is one of its greatest symbols. Thanks to a combination of historical technology, Madeira’s local terroir, and a focus on quality, rums with a distinctive character are created that preserve the island’s authenticity. William Hinton today represents a brand that combines Madeira’s heritage, artisanal tradition, and a modern approach to the production of agricole rums, liqueurs, and aged rum specialties.
