The Antigua Distillery English Harbour Coeur de Savalle
Most love the intense chocolate, caramel and banana profile with impressively integrated 73.6%. Critics find it hot, slightly one‑dimensional and feel the pricing is hard to justify. Overall, a powerful, well-liked sipper.
Fans of powerful, chocolate-forward column rums and Foursquare/Belize-style profiles who enjoy exploring very high ABV sippers and don’t mind paying for something rare and intense.

How does this rum taste?
Chocolatey Antigua powerhouse for Foursquare fans
If you enjoy Foursquare or quality Spanish-style columns and want to see that profile pushed to 73.6% with more roast and chocolate, this will likely hit the spot—price caveat included.
Those sensitive to high ABV, seeking budget-friendly bottles, or wanting super-complex, multi-layered rums rather than a focused chocolate-caramel profile.

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.
Tasted this great rum from English Harbour from a sample I had before opening one of my bottles. It’s distilled in their Savalle copper column and was barreled at 80% in lightly toasted oak barrels for 8 years whereafter it was bottled at cask strength at 73,6%. The nose is intense, fruity, roasted and woody with aromas of cocoa, caramel, vanilla, banana and dried fruits. At the palate and during the long finish it’s elegant, roasted, spicy and woody with flavors of vanilla, caramel, cocoa, chocolate and dried fruits.
🤯 with info 74% so incredibly smooth? Mega cool. Could easily pass as a really good Belize or foursquare for me in blind tasting. Really puts you in a good mood. Banana split/chocolate and salted caramel cream. Very tasty! If the price of over €200 for a relatively full proof Spaniard wasn't so expensive, the rating could definitely be a little higher...
Bought this bottle at Premier Cru next to the Antigua Distillers Ltd Headoffice in Saint John‘s. The nose is really special, rich and complex. Fruity banana with some wooden and chocolate notes. The taste is quite strong due to the 73,6%, but still surprisingly comfortable enough for pure sipping with notes of chocolate, roast and spice. Long finish down the throat, warm and roasty. This is really a weapon. Great great stuff! Thanx to the staff of premier cru for the recommendation!
