O Reizinho, That Boutique-y Rum Company – Batch 1, 49.7%

Introduction

O Reizinho White Rum represents the authentic Portuguese rum tradition from the island of Madeira, where generations of artisanal distillers have perfected their craft using time-honored methods that capture the essence of this unique terroir.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Locally sourced sugarcane from Madeira’s fertile volcanic soil, harvested at peak ripeness to ensure optimal sugar content and flavor.
• Distillation process: Traditional single pot still distillation, allowing for greater retention of the sugarcane’s natural character and resulting in a more complex spirit.
• Maturation: Minimally aged to preserve the pure expression of the distillate while allowing for slight smoothing of edges.
• Special techniques: Small batch production with careful attention to cuts during distillation, ensuring only the purest “heart” of the distillate is captured.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh sugarcane, subtle grassy notes, with hints of tropical fruits and a delicate floral character.
• Palate: Clean, vibrant sugarcane sweetness balanced by mineral notes, with layers of citrus peel, green apple, and light vanilla.
• Finish: Medium-long with pleasant warmth, lingering notes of white pepper, and a clean, slightly sweet farewell.

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Slightly chilled (10-15°C)
• Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped tasting glass to concentrate the delicate aromas
• Serving ideas: Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its nuanced character, or as the foundation for elevated daiquiris and other classic rum cocktails
