How does this rum taste?
RumX members love the power and complexity of this 66% Antiguan cask strength with a long, warming finish. Expect vanilla, caramel and coconut over assertive oak, spice and hints of chocolate. Frequently praised for balance and value, it’s enjoyed neat, while a few drops of water can soften the heat. Some note the alcohol feels forceful at first. A popular community favorite with 135 reviews.

#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.
Very sweet and round profile with coconut, almonds, pastries, vanilla and a very good alcohol integration. Impressive quality / (release) price ratio. A must have 😋
I don't like column-distilled rums because of the strong hint of vanilla and caramel that predominate over everything; this one has just the right blend. A good rum, but it doesn't fully convince me. Purchased at 55 euros, I absolutely would not buy it at a higher price. Unfortunately in the world of rums of a certain level there is too much speculation even on rums of dubious quality.
