Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Probably the best product from Antigua on the market. Would not have thought that this particular barrel from the normal blend of the other 27 barrels brings so much more complexity but the thing is really ne grenade. Alcohol is extremely well integrated and even a touch more complex than the 66%. Hot stuff! Whether he is worth the considerable surcharge compared to the also very good "normal" bottling I do not know🤣"

"#bottlekill 🥲 extremely round rum for such a young age and the high alcohol strength. Grenade. still for me one of the best PLV cask strength rums on the market. ❤️🙏🇦🇬 compared to the new english harbour straight From the cask this one is ne track ahead as it has much more flavors to offer and I like it even better overall, more fruit, more power and more complexity.💥 My absolute #1 Antigua rum! Too bad I did not get here at the time for the ridiculous uvp of ~60€ directly ne box. Simply delicious!"

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This one was a huge surprise and when I look at the price tag you get a LOT for your money. Nicely fruity with spicy warm palate. The alcohol has been integrated pretty well. It needs to rest for 15-30 minutes to release all flavours and even the day after the glass smells wonderful."

S.B.S Antigua 2015 (Whisky & Rum Ijmuiden)
Top review from Rowald Sweet Empire:
"Tasted on the Whisky and Rum festival 2022. IJmuiden. www.zeewijck.nl First impression: very Travellers Belize. Heavy. Bourbon. American oak. Vanilla/caramel. Taste: christmassy: Cinnamon(rolls). Cherry. Cloves. Charred. Vanilla. A lot of taste. The bourbon ever present. 55% is perfect. Good pick from Richard. Update may 2023. Strangely he still has loads of bottles of this."

Top review from Jakob:
"As expected, the alcohol is quite recognizable, but next to it show some quite appealing notes of especially heavy sweetness of caramel, vanilla and dried fruit. Has subtle hints of sherry, overall quite pleasant to title. Great that one has dared a bottling with this strength."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"It’s a great super smooth rum and the best column still that I’ve ever tasted. Earlier before the price went up to todays levels I bought every bottle I found following the advice I read somewhere “If you got the chance to buy a bottle, don’t miss it”."

"Tasted one is from batch 002. Have also a bottle from batch 001, but haven’t tasted it yet. When I visited Antigua I got the opportunity to visit the distillery and the aging house. My fantastic guide who origins from Madeira and is related to the founders of the brand told me that the Madeira Cask Finish is the one of the three they’re most pleased with in batch 001. But I’m very pleased with the second batch, it’s very well balanced with rich flavors."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Another release where the price tag is really good compared to what you get. Fruity with natural sweetness and caramel. The palate is nice and warm as I like it and the chocolate and coffee balances the overall profile. I had to rest it for a good while before the flavours really came through."

"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."

"The tasted one is from batch 002. Have also a bottle from batch 001, but haven’t tasted it yet. My guide during my visit at the distillery told me that they’re most pleased with the Port Cask Finish, of the three, in batch 002. I’ll drink to that! It has a fantastic nose and the taste is very distinct with great flavors and a very pleasant finish."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"The molasses is bought from Dom.Rep. and Guyana. After distillation it’s aged in former bourbon barrels of American oak, which are charred, for between 10 and 25 years. To enhance the oak taste is a handful of oak chips added to each barrel. In my opinion is it a great rum that overall is very dry and oaky."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"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."
