English Harbour 5 years 40°: Description and customer reviews

English Harbour 5 ans is anAntiguan rum made from particularly sweet molasses from the Dominican Republic and Guyana (English Guiana). It is distilled in copper column stills.

This is a blend of rums aged in small bourbon casks, some of which are 25 years old. The blend is then homogenized, rested in tuns, filtered and bottled.

Drink neat or in cocktails.

Nico's tasting notes

The nose opens with a fairly light rum, underlined by a strong toasted woodiness. Some fruit rests at the heart of the glass, with a little orange peel bringing precision and a certain hold. Vanilla and other sweet spices retain their liveliness and freshness.

The aeration brings more freshness, and the fruit takes advantage to deliver a rich, sweet juice. Orange peel is the first to emerge, paving the way for more exotic fruits, ripe to the point of ripeness, without exaggeration. American oak follows in classic fashion, with luscious notes of vanilla, coconut and blond tobacco.

The palate is soft, and entirely devoted to the American oak cask. After a slight bite of dry wood, vanilla and toasted coconut quickly invade the palate, taking us into familiar territory. The wood becomes more toasted on the mid-palate, approaching caramelized nuts such as pecan.

The finish is light, with luscious coconut returning to service.

" A beautifully balanced rum, proud representative of an English tradition carried on the bourbon cask... "
