English Harbour Sherry Cask Finish (Batch 003) 2016

If you like sherry to show up loud, this Antigua column-still rum delivers exactly that. The finish leaves a clear vineous, dry-then-sweet character — raisin, a musty edge, vanilla, nutmeg and a hint of coffee. At 46% it's got some backbone but stays gentle, and the finish runs a touch short. Several members single it out as a strong everyday pour for the money.

  • Strong sherry note
  • Good value
  • But: Short finish

An excellent value for money. This English Harbour reveals a charming profile, with a nice strength at 46%. The Sherry cask finish brings a pronounced vinous character, with roasted and spicy notes, highlighted by a touch of caramel. The finish, pleasant but rather short, leaves a balanced impression.

#6730 Running a few samples whilt watching "Steal" on Amazon Prime. Price to quality is pretty good on this bottle in my mind. A fresh and spice driven profile with fruits, caramel and some musty notes.

I am really glad I had an opportunity to try this rum. Aroma was little bit alcoholic (let it rest), than I noticed sweet note of vanilla, spice, wood and lot of fruit. I noticed a hint of coffe, nuts and that sherry/wine scent (very gentle). Taste was gentle with flavor of wine/sherry, sweet and wood. I noticed hints of nuts and nougat with lot of that fruity and dry flavor (loved it). Finish is short, fruity, woody and also very dry. Very nice rum, nothing special but for that price I think it is from that “MUST TRY” category.

Considering the low price, this is a very interesting rum for everyday drinking. I dare say it will excite a newcomer and definitely won't offend an experienced rum drinker. If you like rums aged in Sherry casks, which is really pronounced here, this is a great choice for you at a super price.
