The Antigua Distillery English Harbour Madeira Finish (Batch Number 003)
Woody, fruity, and balanced—a solid all-round sipper.
Strong woody and dried fruit notes lead into a moderately complex palate, with some initial alcohol on the nose smoothed out on tasting. One to try if you enjoy oaky rums with a dry, balanced finish.

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.
Quite an alcoholic nose despite the low ABV, the Madeira is present and reinforces this alcoholic side. The woodiness is quite marked, with tannins and bitterness. The palate is much fruitier, but more on the dried fruit side. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is of medium length, with woody bitters and vanilla. Apart from the nose, this is a fine rum, well-made and pleasant.

The nose doesn't really pick me up yet: Alcoholic, a little wood. Fortunately, the taste then picks up a little: fruit, roasted aromas, somewhat more complex. Finish: dry with vanilla and medium length. Really solid. PLV good.
