English Harbour 5Yr Rum

The English Harbour Rum arrives in a squat, smoky green coloured rum bottle. The labeling is nice; it has a bit of a parchment look, giving the impression of tradition and age. The top of the bottle is sealed with a solid cork which has not deteriorated during the rum’s long stay on my rum shelf. I like what I see. A fantastic rum from Antigua, which has been made in copper plated continuous stills.Produced from molasses, this is a dark and tasty spirit, matured in oak barrels for 5 years. The rum serves up plenty of bright apple-y spirit flavours, with some toasty dark oak and brown sugar notes, and a little coconut and pineapple.A versatile rum, great in stirred drinks or when drunk over ice.
