    How does this rum taste?

    Dry, woody value Madeira-finish

    Most enjoy its dry wood, dried fruits and value; some find the nose too alcoholic and the profile a bit simple. Consensus: well-made, sugar-free everyday rum with a nice Madeira twist.

    Who is this rum for?

    If you’re moving from sweetened rums into drier territory, this is an easy upgrade: honest, sugar-free, good price, and just enough Madeira character to keep it interesting.

    Not really suitable for

    Those wanting a sweet, soft sipper or very complex, funky profiles; drinkers sensitive to bitter oak or slightly sharp, alcoholic noses.

    Aroma

    Woody Tropical fruit Alcoholic Vanilla

    Taste

    Woody Dried fruit Caramelized Allspice

    This English Harbour series (Sherry, Port, Madeira) are probably the best cheap rums you can get. Very solid rums for very good price. I always recommend it to beginners that want something sugarless.

    Nose wood, spicy, a little Madeira; great on the tongue: lots of wood, more wood, subtle sweetness, nicely complex towards the back, a little spicy, but very exciting

    Good rum. Very good value for money. Slightly alcoholic on the palate but still quite balanced. Lots of caramel and tropical fruits. I recommend tasting although my favorite remains the sherry cask finish.
