    How is this rum rated?

    7.6/10 71 reviews

    The tasted one here is from batch 002. Have also a bottle from batch 001, unopened. I tasted it the first time during my vacation in Antigua down at a restaurant in Falmouth Harbour. Thought that the nose was great, but the nose of the port version is even better. But nevertheless this is a great rum, well worth trying, that’s very complex and has a great finish.

    Burning afterwards and that burning lingers a bit

    The sherry finish is noticeable and fits well. The result is a round, roasty and nutty rum that lacks intensity. Compared to the port finish, I have to classify this rum as somewhat weaker. Nevertheless, a very good value for money rum, like almost everything from English Harbour.

    Rums from English Harbour were among my favorites in the beginning. This love has waned somewhat in recent years. But as an easy sipper, the Sherry Cask still works. I still like the woody, spicy and fruity notes, but the bottom line is that I now miss the complexity.
