Engenhos do Norte 7 Year Rum TBRC

That Boutique-y Rum Company seems to have a knack for getting its hands on rum from places you wouldn't expect to find it - like Portugal, for example! This 7 year old expression was produced at Engenhos do Norte in Madeira, Portugal. It's made with sugar cane juice, milled by steam engines - like the one you can see on the label. Following that, the sugarcane juice was put through a column still and left to mature.

Batch 1 is a release of 1,395 bottles.
