Review by Stefan Persson
Overall a great rum that’s fresh, complex and unmistakable an English Harbour that tastes quite much as the 5yo, but of course with stronger tastes thanks to the higher ABV that I bought a sample of from RhumAttitude. It’s a single barrel selection from Antigua Distillery Ltd distilled in 2015 based on molasses in their column still. It’s aged in an ex-bourbon cask, bottled at cask strength at ABV 64,9% in just 257 bottles.

Absoluter top Antigua cask strength!
Review by Gil Firth
בקבוק שלום לך 92 אצל לונלי קיינר. כבר על ההתחלה הריח משגע. ריח של פירות בהירים. טרופים. תותים. ודבש. מאוד חזק ואינטנסיבי. זה לאט לאט מתפתח ונהיה מתוק, קצת עשבוני, אבל הרשמין הדומיננטים ביותר הם. פירות בהירים כמו ארפסק, פירות יער. תותים וכו. מאוד מיוחד אבל לא 92🙂
Review by Djehey
The nose is not very expressive unlike the mouth.it is greedy and intense! A little lime goes through to refresh the whole and excite the mouth.the final is rather average on cappuccino, tiramisu.
Review by Tim
Eine ähnliche Nase zu den anderen English Harbour Rums, nur hier mit einem krassem Kräuterzusatz. Während der Verkostung wandelten sich die Aromen auch stark ab, sehr interessiert. Im Mund hauptsächlich würzig, leichte Süße, Holz, wobei im Abgang wieder die Kräuter kommen.
Review by DomM
Sweet nose with vanilla, coconut, some tropical fruits and a hint of herbs and brioche (?) in the back. Similar on the palate with a touch of woody bitterness embedded in the mix which adds a bit more complexity. Very enjoyable overall.

01.02.2025 retasting at the Nordlichter tasting. --------------------------- Another release where the price tag is really good compared to what you get. Fruity with natural sweetness and caramel. The palate is nice and warm as I like it and the chocolate and coffee balances the overall profile. I had to rest it for a good while before the flavours really came through.
Review by Jarek
Not very complex, but very drinkable. Nice coconut notes and pleasant sweetness. Burns a little too much. Addendum: I have just shared a bottle of this in the forum and tasted the rum again when bottling. The overall impression is confirmed. The alcohol could be a little better integrated, but overall I think the bottling is slightly underrated.
Review by Chrischi78
Werde es vermutlich nie verstehen, warum Antigua in der Rum-Welt so underrated ist. Auch hier ein toller Rum mit einem komplexen Geschmacksprofil und darüberhinaus einem klaren Signature-Gaumen der Distillerie!
Review by zabo
Wow, not bad, this rum is more on the sweet side, which I really like, especially at 30° degrees. The nose is dominated by cream toffee and on the palate it's not very reminiscent of Milka's cow's milk chocolate. The only thing that bothers me is that the alcohol is quite sharp-edged and not too well integrated. Otherwise there would certainly have been more in it.
Review by julie
Diving into Antiguan rums tonight. Exciting new profile for me. Coconut, lots of creaminess and pretty sweet. In general it feels quite indulgent to drink, although it can be sharp and biting at times. It reminds me of toffifee and rich milk chocolate. Doesn’t linger for too long. All in all a pleasant rum to drink.
Review by Thunderbird
A fruity floral nose as in the Caribbean...wonderfully beguiling...so opens the game on the palate, a heavy sweetness with lots of tropical fruit. The longer it lingers in the mouth, nut, chocolate and vanilla flavors are added. It becomes slightly pimento towards the end, and some ester joins in as well. In the finish it remains on the coarse herbaceous side! A very multi-faceted rum, but a little too unbalanced for me.
Review by w00tAN
Northern Lights Meeting 2025: In the nose first of all a bit of glue, vanilla and some fruit. In the mouth then strong, slightly sweet, spicy with a good pepper note. Perhaps a little thin. Very chocolatey, medium-long finish.

"This is a nice reminder of what the house of English harbour could be, if they were not to make the cask selection themselves. Those rums shine with their sweet complexities. but still my excitement is not pant wetting"
