The English Harbour Madeira Cask Finish Batch No.1 is a limited edition rum that was first released in 2018, showcasing the venerable tradition of Antiguan rum production and the sophisticated character of Madeira casks. This special rum is crafted by The Antigua Distillery, a renowned name synonymous with quality and heritage. The base of this exquisite rum is the much-admired five-year-old English Harbour rum, which is further aged in three types of casks to achieve its unique and distinguished profile. After spending five years in ex-Bourbon casks, the rum undergoes a finishing process in Malmsey and Bual Madeira casks, imparting an extra layer of complexity and depth. Bottled at an ABV of 46%, this rum embodies a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas that captivate both seasoned rum enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The Madeira cask finishing yields a nuanced rum enriched with notes of dried fruit, nuts, and caramel, presenting a delightful taste experience that shines whether sipped neat or enjoyed with a slice of orange peel. This limited edition release is a testament to the artistry and refined techniques employed by The Antigua Distillery, making it a prized addition to any rum collection.
