    Probiert an zwei verschiedenen Tagen. Was für ein Kracher, was für ein Fantastischer Rum. Meine Frau wollte das Glas mit dem Sample gar nicht mehr hergeben. Farbe: Goldener Bernstein Geruch: Wow, riecht der aber lecker. Intensiv, rund und süß nach reifen tropischen Früchten, Melasse mit einer Riesenportion Fudge (Vanille Karamell Toffee). Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Geschmack: Nochmal wow! Unglaublich lecker. Im Mund zunächst süß, dann übernimmt der hohe Alkoholgehalt. Beim Schlucken dann sehr kräftig, vollmundig, süß, alkoholisch und würzig aromatisch mit Aromen von Melasse, Fudge (Vanille, Karamell, Toffee), Sandelholz, Zimt, reifen tropischen Früchten (Papaya) und getrockneten Datteln. Abgang: Lang, wärmt von tief innen. Bleibt dabei süß und immer angenehm. Die Aromen aus dem Geschmack halten lange an.

    #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!

    This is unmistakably an English Harbour. The taste is quite much like the 5yo, but with much longer and stronger finish. My feeling is that it tastes very much like an genuine and typical rum a little from the past.

    Yummy 😋 - a Couple of years later since last tasting and this is really good.
