"The tasted one is from batch 002. Have also a bottle from batch 001, but haven’t tasted it yet. My guide during my visit at the distillery told me that they’re most pleased with the Port Cask Finish, of the three, in batch 002. I’ll drink to that! It has a fantastic nose and the taste is very distinct with great flavors and a very pleasant finish."

"Leckerer Rum mit elegantem Port-Finish zu einem unglaublich guten Preis. Runder Rum mit roter Frucht, Portwein, Schokolade, Gewürzen und Karamell. Sehr gut, gefällt mir außerordentlich unter Anbetracht der Rahmenbedingungen!"

"The port finish is nicely integrated, much stronger, drier and smokier than expected and a slight alcoholic spiciness resonates. all in all, however, as usual at english harbour a top price performance and very tasty!"
