How does this rum taste?
English Harbour Madeira Finish Batch 003 leans into wood and dried fruits, with most RumX members highlighting a pronounced woody core and dried fruitiness. Vanilla and caramel pop alongside touches of allspice. Several comment on the alcohol’s presence—@cigares calls it an "assez alcoolique" nose, though others agree it’s better integrated on the palate. Complexity and balance appear after the initial sniff, with @R Wehner noting it’s "schön komplex nach hinten raus" and no distracting sweetness, drawing solid ratings for quality at the price.

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.
