Monte Negro Grogue Barbosa Amado & Vicente 45%
Grogue Barbosa Amado & Vicente, distilled at Monte Negro in Cap Verde, offers a unique rum experience, thanks to its 45% ABV and distillation from sugar cane juice in a pot still. Users describe its aroma as primarily sugarcane-like with hints of sake, olive, and vegetal notes. The palate follows these themes with unique tastes including sake, cucumber, and a smattering of bitterness. Many remark on its distinctive vegetal and earthy qualities, likened to both traditional grogue and Clairin. While some appreciate its fresh and peculiar profile, others find it unrefined, with the integration of alcohol and flavor balance needing improvement. Best suited for adventurous tasters looking for a novel experience.

“A pleasant rum, perhaps good for a Ti' Punch, but nothing extraordinary. Medium persistence and in my opinion too much hint of sake and a very distant smokiness. Unsuitable for tasting at a certain level, it remains a lighthearted rum. Still, it is always good to experiment with new distillates. Rum from sugarcane juice with 10% from molasses.”

“Everything is already said in the other comments about this rather strange rum.”

“Not bad, reminds me a bit of stuff like Paranubes. Very fresh with olives and vegetal notes. Friend says the finish reminds him of oysters (don’t like oysters so I can’t really tell) Was told that it’s distilled with a wood fire, which makes for an interesting story. Seems more powerful, but it says 45%.”
