The English Harbour 5yo is a renowned rum from Antigua, crafted with particularly sweet molasses sourced from the Dominican Republic and Guyana. Distilled in copper column stills, it undergoes a meticulous aging process for a minimum of 5 years in small oak barrels that previously held bourbon, imparting a rich and complex flavor profile. Produced by The Antigua Distillery, established in 1932 by three Portuguese rum vendors, this rum stands out for its smooth and light body, with a slight bite of dry wood that soon gives way to delightful notes of vanilla, toasted coconut, and caramelized nuts. The aroma is fruity, featuring hints of orange peel and exotic fruits, followed by the luscious notes of American oak. The English Harbour 5yo is a blend of rums aged in small bourbon barrels, some of which are up to 25 years old. After aging, the rums are homogenized and left to rest in tuns before being filtered and bottled. This rum is versatile, suitable for both sipping and mixing in high-quality cocktails. Its harmonious flavor profile, with notes of vanilla, honey, coffee, and a hint of citrus and spices, makes it a favorite among rum connoisseurs and beginners alike.
