English Harbour 1981 Rum (750ml)

Rums under the English Harbour label are produced from fermented molasses via copper pot distillation. Maturation takes place in small 220 litre x-whisky and bourbon barrels. Aged 25 years (distilled in 1981 and bottled in 2006), this is the oldest rum from the Antigua distillery and limited to 5712 bottles. Needless to say, stocks are extremely limited. Generally ranked as one of the greatest rums on the planet, it will take pride of place in the collection of any serious rum devotee.

Other reviews...Deep amber copper color. Fantastical rich aromas of warm chocolate pudding, caramelized bananas, pears, and nuts, maple are mesmerizing and follow through on a plush, vital entry to a dry-yet-fruity full body with superb depth, balance, and intricacy. Finishes with a seemingly endless flourish of evolving, oak driven flavors of caramel, tobacco, leather, and spice. An Olympian aged rum.
