The Antigua Distillery English Harbour 5 Years

The rum has a light golden hue. It smells sweet, a little like sherry and honey, very pleasant. The taste is already a little whisky-like, hardly any sweetness at first, but some of it comes out later in the finish. The finish is short to medium-long, with a slight spiciness. A pleasant drop.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

The molasses comes from Dom. Rep. and Guyana. After distillation it’s aged in former bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels between five and eight years before blended and bottled. In my opinion is this an outstanding everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account.

Top price-performance ratio. Ideal for beginners in this price segment

Very relaxed rum. As a mixer I like him.61/100 for me.

Price-performance ratio is simply mega. Really a rum for beautiful days. Also long lasting. Both the nose and the taste are harmonious and intense.

#5028 04.01.2025 Relaxing at home with some samples. Nose Wood, light roasted, light caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, faint cherry. Palate Round, wood, light roasted, light caramel, light vanilla, oily, light spicy, faint polish, dried fruit. Finish Medium long, wood, light roasted, vanilla, raisin, light cherry, light caramel, light tannins. The empty glass has wood, a light sour note, light honey and light marzipan.

Good quality rum, especially so for the price tag. Caramel, gentle vanilla and burnt sugar flavour comes through nicely alongside woody notes. Genuinely very pleasantly surprised at the price to quality ratio.

7,4:The nose opens with a light rum with a strong toasted woodiness. Some fruit rests at the heart of the glass, with a little orange peel.Vanilla and other sweet spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg, retain their liveliness and freshness.There are some medicinal notes and roastedness, mocha. The aeration brings more freshness and the fruit takes advantage to deliver a rich, sweet juice. Orange peel is the first to emerge, paving the way for more exotic fruits, very ripe. American oak follows in classic fashion, with luscious notes of vanilla, coconut and tobacco, dried fruits. 7,5:The palate is soft and entirely devoted to the American oak. After a slight bite of dry wood, vanilla, sweet spices and toasted coconut quickly invade the palate, some metallic notes. The wood becomes more toasted on the mid-palate, approaching caramelized and roasted nuts such as pecan. 7:The finish is light, woody, with luscious coconut and orange peel returning once again..

Hammer Preis Leistung!

If alcohol hadn't been given the mantle of being unhealthy, english harbour would be my daily friend. Not too complex, not too full-bodied, but a loyal and gentle friend by the fireside in the evening. Absolutely convincing in taste and PLV. One of the best you can get in this price segment.

bin Rum Einsteiger, hab schon einige "verkostet",finde den Rum Preis Geschmacks mäßig unschlagbar! Pur zum genießen,aber auch klassisch mit Cola, für mich einer der besten!

This rum is not really a secret tip. It is surprisingly complex with fruity aromas on a toffee-caramel base. The barrel ageing is also very clear. Really great for the price.

Am Anfang direkt aus der Flasche, leicht und Mild mit einer gewissen Karamell/Vanille süße. Nach ein paar Minuten später entwickelt er Charakter und eine gewisse Schärfe. Leicht zu trinken, Ideal für Beginner

Probably the best rum in this price segment and one of the best value-for-money rums ever. Nothing more needs to be said. Simply harmonious and round. Most importantly, without excessive sweetness.
