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.
The community says- Strong sherry note
- Good value
- But: Short finish

How does English Harbour Sherry Cask Finish (Batch 003) 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 8 community reviews.
Sherry-forward, dry-sweet everyday Antigua rum Members agree on the appeal: bold, well-priced sherry character that a newcomer enjoys and a seasoned drinker won't dismiss. The main knock is a fairly brief finish.

Review by Matej
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.
