Aroma visualization from community tastings
The Antigua Distillery S.B.S 2015
Most tasters land in the same spot: a bubblegum-and-tropical-fruit nose over light wood, with coconut, caramel and dried fruit on the palate from its 9 years and Marsala finish. The recurring gripe is the 55% ABV still feeling too present, even reduced. One reviewer admitted enjoying it "far too much neat," and drew a Foursquare comparison.
The community says- Bubblegum nose
- Coconut and dried fruit
- But: Alcohol quite present

How does The Antigua Distillery S.B.S 2015 taste?
Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Fruity, woody Antigua at cask strength Well-liked column-still Antigua: coconut, dried fruit and a bubblegum note, with a light Marsala touch. A few find the alcohol pushes through more than they'd like.

A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024, S.B.S. Masterclass. A bubble gum nose reminiscent of certain Savanna rums (here too, fermentation is particularly long), tropical fruit and discreet woodiness, all accompanied by a pleasant sweetness. On the palate, bubble gum and tropical fruit go hand in hand, supported by alcohol. The finish is on fruit, cedar wood and a reminder of Marsala (2 years in Marsala casks after 7 years in ex-bourbon).

Docela jsem čekal odlišnou vůni. Marsala finiš udělal své. Přijde mi to až moc jemné, skoro tam necítím takový ten zvláštní kořeněný prach, který byl specifický pro EH high congener. V chuti už to tam je. Kokos, sušené ovoce, pepřovost a trochu pralinky. Zde se to naopak high congener dost podobá.

Ve vůni žvýkačky, v chuti opět žvýkačka říznutá dobře integrovaným alkoholem

Review by Basti
Fair evaluation. Tasted as part of the S.B.S. tasting. The bottlings from Antigua I have tasted so far have always reminded me strongly of FS and this one is no different. Unfortunately, despite the reduction, the alcohol is too present on both the nose and the palate.
Review by Filip Heimerle
Vůně tropické ovoce ananas. Velmi prijemna v chuti délce. Lehce sladký ale velmi decentně

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →I was enjoying it far too much neat. If you like Foursquare, particular there "lighter" Doorly's range then this might be a good addition. It's quite a good intro to Cask Strength rum as well. Whilst it's not lacking in complexity, it is quite an easy drinker for the ABV....
