AP Liquid Pearls Single Cask Rum British Antilles (Bourbon & Virgin Oak Casks) 2018
Opinion lands in the middle here: pleasant but simple. Expect fresh oak, bourbon, vanilla and coconut, with butterscotch and a light spicy-citrus edge from the young virgin-oak aging. Several tasters call it a bit one-dimensional and, for some, too sweet — "sweet, a little spicy, not much more." Good for the young age, but no one's calling it a heavyweight.
The community says- Fresh oak and bourbon
- Vanilla and coconut
- But: A bit one-dimensional

How does AP Liquid Pearls Single Cask Rum British Antilles (Bourbon & Virgin Oak Casks) 2018 taste?
Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Easy bourbon-cask sipper, a touch simple Most find it pleasant and bourbon-forward with vanilla and coconut, impressive for five years old. The recurring gripe: one-note and, for a few, too sweet, with a weak finish.

Review by Leo Krüper
Für das junge Alter ein toller Rum, der zeigt was English Harbour wirklich leisten kann.
Review by zabo
Messebewertung Village'25 Nürnberg Meines Erachtens auch hier eine gelungene Abfüllung. Trotz des jungen Alters kann er schon so einiges und muss sich nicht verstecken. Der bis dato mir unbekannte Abfüller Glenfahrn aus der Schweiz hat hier echt was gutes aus dem Hut gezaubert.
Review by Johannes
Guter Rum. Er schmeckt nach viel frischer Eiche und Bourbon- das was drauf steht ist auch drin. Sonst passiert allerdings auch nicht viel mehr.
Review by Joël
Echt gut für das junge Alter, gefällt mir.
Review by DomM
Nice bottling. Despite the relatively young age, the combination with virgin oak created quite some woody/bourbon notes.
Review by Skyfly
Ein Rum mit starkem Fass-/Bourboneinfluss. Die in der Nase erkennbaren Zitrusnoten verschwinden im Gaumen; das Karamell ist ist nur noch auf Grund der Süße erkennbar. Die dauerhaft erkennbaren Röst- und Würzaromen sind sehr angenehm. Der Abgang ist relativ schwach. Alkohol gut eingebunden.
