Rum M&G - Grogue Natural Tarrafal de Monte Trigo - 44.5%
The M&G (Musica e Grogue) brand was created in 2017 by Simão Evora and Jean-Pierre Engelbach . The range consists of artisanal rums pure cane juice from Cape Verde . Cultivated without any fertilizers or pesticides, the cane thrives on volcanic terrain. Despite the tropical climate, it benefits from the exceptional irrigation provided by the spring which supplies village life all year round. Two species of cane predominate: cana Prêta and cana riscada . It is the pure fresh juice of these two species that gives the rum a fragrant taste, with flavors of fruit, cane and spices. Musica E Grogue works with local producers who have been able to combine their artisanal tradition with the improvement of their production tool for distilling. We distinguish the Grogue Natural (white rums typical of their terroir) and the Grogue Velha which are aged in oak barrels.
This Grogue Natural comes from the Tarrafal de Monte Trigo terroir on the island of Santo Antão in Cape Verde. It was distilled between January and May 2019 with the harvest of the year. 639 bottles were produced.
