The English Harbour Sherry Cask Finish Batch No.3 is a 5-year-old rum with a rich and complex flavor profile that is a testament to its unique aging process. Distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2021, this exquisite rum hails from The Antigua Distillery, located in the capital city of St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda. Initially aged in former bourbon barrels, the rum undergoes a secondary maturation period of three to six months in former Oloroso sherry casks. This special treatment imbues the rum with a wide array of flavors, ranging from earthy and spicy notes to fruity and sweet undertones.
Naming this exceptional rum after the town of English Harbour—a significant Caribbean natural harbor and a charming settlement on the island of Antigua—pays homage to the region's storied history. Antigua was originally a Spanish colony known as Santa Maria de la Antigua, named after a church in Spain. Following a tradition that dates back to the time when the Spanish brought rum from the Caribbean in sherry casks, English Harbour combines the heritage of former bourbon barrels with the elegance of Oloroso sherry casks to craft a truly unique spirit.
Bottled at a robust 46% ABV, this rum delivers a perfect balance of tradition and innovation, making it a must-try for rum enthusiasts and anyone seeking a rich, layered flavor experience.
