The small Portuguese island of Madeira lies off the northwest coast of Africa in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The island offers exceptionally good climatic conditions for growing sugarcane plants. Literally a Garden of Eden in the middle of the Atlantic! William Hinton founded a sugar factory and a distillery in Madeira in 1845, which over time became one of the largest on the island. Due to various influences, the distillery had to cease operations in 1986. In 2006, the heirs of William Hinton resumed production of high-quality rums, building on former glorious and successful years. This high-quality William Hinton Rum 6 Anos plays in a league of its own; a real insider tip for the rum lover, so to speak! It aged for six long years in French oak barrels and is a distinctive and complex rum, smooth and sweet on the palate, which presents itself in a light dark brown color. The palate first senses delicate, sweetish aromas with a touch of well-balanced acidity, supported by woody notes, dry nutty notes, and beautiful vanilla.
