Sipped neat, this is where the surprise lands: 73.6% that most tasters call shockingly drinkable. Expect cocoa, dark chocolate, caramel and roasted oak, with mealy banana and dried fruit underneath. Several people blind-guessed Foursquare or Belize — a Spanish-style column profile more than a heavy pot rum. The heat cuts at first, then the alcohol reads warm and creamy.

How does English Harbour Coeur de Savalle taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Chocolate-heavy cask strength that drinks shockingly easy Most find the near-74% remarkably well-integrated, praising the chocolate-caramel depth. The recurring gripe isn't the rum but the value, and a couple call it metallic or a touch thin.

Tasted this great rum from English Harbour from a sample I had before opening one of my bottles. It’s distilled in their Savalle copper column and was barreled at 80% in lightly toasted oak barrels for 8 years whereafter it was bottled at cask strength at 73,6%. The nose is intense, fruity, roasted and woody with aromas of cocoa, caramel, vanilla, banana and dried fruits. At the palate and during the long finish it’s elegant, roasted, spicy and woody with flavors of vanilla, caramel, cocoa, chocolate and dried fruits.

Very caramel-y, a bit chocolatey. Goes very much in the direction of Foursquare without the strong bourbon notes. The high alcohol makes it a bit metallic and unfortunately one-dimensional. The extremely high price ruins it for me. Simply unbearable for 8 years.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
🤯 with 74% info so unbelievably smooth?! Mega cool. Could easily pass as a really good Belize or Foursquare in a blind tasting for me. This thing is really fun. Banana split/chocolate and salted caramel cream. Very tasty! If the price wasn't over €200 for a full proof Spaniard, the rating could definitely be a bit higher...
Review by Jakob
As expected, the alcohol is quite recognizable, but next to it show some quite appealing notes of especially heavy sweetness of caramel, vanilla and dried fruit. Has subtle hints of sherry, overall quite pleasant to title. Great that one has dared a bottling with this strength.
Review by reina
Bought this bottle at Premier Cru next to the Antigua Distillers Ltd Headoffice in Saint John‘s. The nose is really special, rich and complex. Fruity banana with some wooden and chocolate notes. The taste is quite strong due to the 73,6%, but still surprisingly comfortable enough for pure sipping with notes of chocolate, roast and spice. Long finish down the throat, warm and roasty. This is really a weapon. Great great stuff! Thanx to the staff of premier cru for the recommendation!
Review by Frank
A whopping 73.6%! Of course, it cuts the nose a little at first. But then you can carefully approach the aromas. And they are very nice and full-bodied. The first notes are cocoa and chocolate, plus a little floury banana and the tart sweetness of maple syrup. Lovely wood, tobacco and leather are added. More tropical fruit and papaya on the back. The high ABV makes it creamy and warm. But the alcohol is incredibly well integrated. Immediately has that chocolatey note again, but with a hint of brioche and caramel or toffee. Maple syrup, vanilla and tropical fruits are present, as well as dried dates. Brioche and vanilla in the finish too. It has a lot to offer. But we recommend trying it.

No interest, alcohol, flat profile, too bad...
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#6853 Back from my aunts birthday and time for a few samples. Listening to some nice tracks by Hardwell, AVAO, Kysh and Giorgia Angiuli. This is a nice rum but I think the price tag is a bit off, that is of course my personal opinion. A nice and intense profile with fruits, chocolate, caramel, spice and a light bitterness on the palate.
Review by Timo Groeger
Oh wow, I would have expected it to be worse but it's really good. Has a nice nose consisting of caramel and cocoa. Also some wood comes through. On the palate also chocolate and cocoa. Also wood and very roasted.
Review by Jarek
Tasted together with the Antiguas from Nectar RX12756 and SBS RX12782. The high ABV makes it interesting and it comes across as surprisingly smooth. But compared to the other two, I find the price premium unjustified,
Review by Banana Joe
Well, the almost 74% are well integrated. Certainly a good rum, but for me the price-performance ratio no longer fits at today's prices. Didn't convince me now.
Review by Oliver
Blind I would have packed the sample rather direction Foursquare. Very nice nose. On the palate then a bit too rough.
Review by w00tAN
I saw and tried it at the GRF and quickly fell in love with it. Tasted it again today. This thing is an explosion of flavor with great fruit, woody notes and a perfect integration of the 73! %.
Review by DomM
Very nice and intense nose. On the palate vanilla and chocolate akin to high quality Spanish columns or FS. Alcohol is a touch to present overall.
Review by Johannes
Very chocolaty rum in Spanish style. Alcohol is relatively well integrated for the 73.6%. The taste of the rum is reminiscent of Foursquare and Panama.
Review by TheJackDrop
Coup de coeur de la fin du salon Brussels Rhum Festival. Un Cask Strength à 73.6% extrèmement buvable. nez intense : vanille, fruité, caramel salé et chocolat à des notes de menthe et de cuir. En bouche, une attaque épicée évolue vers des saveurs de chocolat noir, La finale oscille entre fruits mûrs et chocolat (blanc plutôt). Très élégant !
Review by Alexander Rasch
The Belize and Foursquare comparison fits well. Probably assigned there blind. Still closed on the nose, it is surprisingly pleasant on the palate. The alcohol is never disturbing. Unfortunately a bit short and thin at the end. Otherwise quite appealing. But it can't keep up with the depth and body of an ECS Foursquare bottling.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is very pleasant and intense on banana with chocolate. Whiffs of wood and tobacco box complete this picture. On the palate, it’s warm and creamy with a chocolate/vanilla/caramel/toffee profile. Nice persistent length on vanilla brioche. OK, you can feel there’s power under the hood, but overall I find it very well integrated. To be honest, I expected a heavier rum and in the end it’s more of a complex Foursquare profile. I find this juice very nice, but let's avoid talking about the price because I can't understand that an 8-year-old Antigua rum comes out around €350! The proof is there were only 570 bottles and you can still find some. There’s a problem, doctor...
Review by Jacques etdom
Caramelized fruity, toasted wood, vanilla, cocoa, light coconut. Oily palate and nice intensity. Very surprising and quite pleasant.

S 8.3 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.
