Here's the surprise: the sherry doesn't take over. It shows up as roasted, nutty warmth over the fruity, spicy, woody Antigua base, with a dry body that starts a little bitter before sweetening up. At 46% and only 5 years, a few tasters call it "relatively bitey," and several note it trails off short. Best known as an easy, no-sugar sipper at a friendly price.

Rounded, nutty sherry sipper, a bit young Well-liked as a rounded, nutty sherry sipper with no added sugar, though its youth shows — several find it a touch harsh and wish it had more complexity and length.

The tasted one here is from batch 002. Have also a bottle from batch 001, unopened. I tasted it the first time during my vacation in Antigua down at a restaurant in Falmouth Harbour. Thought that the nose was great, but the nose of the port version is even better. But nevertheless this is a great rum, well worth trying, that’s very complex and has a great finish.

Burning afterwards and that burning lingers a bit
Review by Michael Schillheim
Rums from English Harbour were among my favorites in the beginning. This love has waned somewhat in recent years. But as an easy sipper, the Sherry Cask still works. I still like the woody, spicy and fruity notes, but the bottom line is that I now miss the complexity.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Similar to the other two finishes, it is still relatively biting, which is certainly due to its relatively young age, but overall it does not hurt and is relatively mild and balanced. Sherry does not dominate too much here as I had feared... Overall, the port cask is the most successful of the 3 for me, followed by sherry and then Madeira. Nice range for the price!
Review by Patrik Onderka
Well I found this Oloroso Sherry Cask more matured than its Port Cask twin. On nose, it is very promissing, than it looses complexity and drive on palate with a little harsh and bland finish due to its lower age of 5 years. I liked the 46% ABV. Anyway, its price tag is very friendly and it is not a bad rum at all.
Review by Johannes
Very round due to the sherry finish. I like it very much!
Review by Rado Vito
The smell is notable but soft, you can distinguish sherry and oak, very nice. The taste is soar with strong sherry, even though there is a with nice soft dry ending. I expected this rum to be much more better. Well, let´s continue EH, you are doing great.
Review by Michael Janek
In the nose you can feel sharpness, 46%, and something gently fragrant, maybe it's the cherries? The taste starts gentle then immediately prickly, then it stops and various flavors develop.
Review by Tim
The sherry finish is noticeable and fits well. The result is a round, roasty and nutty rum that lacks intensity. Compared to the port finish, I have to classify this rum as somewhat weaker. Nevertheless, a very good value for money rum, like almost everything from English Harbour.
Review by Richard Krupa
Best compared to Madeira and Port. Most expressive of these three samples, which is a big plus. Sweeter than Port, which is a minus
Review by Michal Jurka
This English Harbour series (Sherry, Port, Madeira) are probably the best cheap rums you can get. Very solid rums for very good price. I always recommend it to beginners that want something sugarless. I liked the Sherry one the most.
Review by Montana
The rum has a strong red hue. A very sweet and spicy aroma, oily and slightly alcoholic. A dry body, first somewhat bitter, then later it becomes sweeter, the sherry comes through. The finish is long and mild.
