A New Chapter for Branca Rums

Engenhos do Norte, a renowned distillery from Porto da Cruz in Madeira, has expanded its Branca brand with the launch of a new line named Tropical. These two new rums aim to appeal to both regional and national markets, offering bold flavors and a commitment to sustainability.

Sustainability Meets Innovation

Leading the way in eco-conscious production, Engenhos do Norte introduced bottles made from 100% recycled glass for its Tropical range. This environmentally friendly move underscores the brand’s dedication to sustainable practices, aligning with the growing consumer demand for greener choices.

Meet the Tropical Rum Range

The Tropical lineup features two distinctive rums, each catering to different tastes:

  • Natural White Rum (45.7% ABV): This single-still white rum boasts an intense yet natural flavor. Crafted from still No. 2, famed for its smooth and balanced output, this expression delivers a characterful punch with remarkable finesse.
  • Old Rum 3 Years: Aged to perfection, this rum offers a mature profile, showcasing the depth and richness that come with three years of aging.

Craftsmanship at Its Finest

According to the Rum Master at Engenhos do Norte, the Natural White Rum’s distinctive qualities highlight the distillery’s expertise. Its smooth texture and natural intensity make it a versatile choice for cocktails or sipping neat. Meanwhile, the Old Rum 3 Years offers a more refined experience for those who appreciate aged spirits.

Discover the Tropical Vibe

With the launch of the Tropical range, Engenhos do Norte continues its legacy of delivering high-quality rums while embracing innovation and sustainability. Whether you’re drawn to the boldness of the Natural White Rum or the complexity of the Old Rum 3 Years, these new offerings promise to bring a taste of Madeira to every glass.
