Engenhos do Norte Tristao Vaz Teixeira Barica Nova

Sweet, grassy, peppery, and pleasant spicy finish. A bit of tropical fruit in the mid palette.

Sampled on 8-28-24 at the Laka Lono Kill Devil Rum Club tasting. Thanks to Admiral Bill for bringing these back from Madeira! Pours clear. Has an interesting aroma of Juicy Fruit chewing gum. Wonderful palate. Fantastic flavor of nectarines and honey. Slight suggestions of quinine (unusual!). This ends with a perfect amount of heat. Hopefully, as this receives more ratings, the numbers will come up from its current 3.5

Just weird tones of sugarcane with poor tail. One of the weekest from the distillery.

Sugar cane aroma, immediately average burning body and then slow ended aftertaste.
