The S.B.S Antigua 2015 is a luxurious 2015-vintage rum from Antigua, meticulously crafted and matured in an ex-bourbon cask until May 2022. Part of the renowned Single Barrel Selection range from Danish bottler 1423, this exquisite rum was distilled in a column still and aged in a former American oak bourbon barrel. With a limited release of only 257 bottles from a single cask, this rum stands out for its purity, having undergone no reduction or cold filtration during the bottling process. This Antiguan gem is a molasses-based rum, aged for 7 years, and represents the very first Antigua bottling released by the Danish trading company. It encapsulates the rich heritage of Antigua, one of the two main islands of Antigua and Barbuda. The aroma profile of this rum is rich and inviting, featuring notes of buttery cookie dough, milk chocolate, vanilla, and peppery oak spice. On the palate, you'll discover harmonious flavors of caramel, candied papaya, oak, ginger, cinnamon, and biscuits. This multifaceted flavor profile offers a delightful blend of tropical sweetness, spice, and woody undertones, all leading to a creamy, lingering finish.

The S.B.S Antigua 2015 has received favorable reviews for its rich, sweet aroma and well-balanced flavor profile. It has been compared to other high-quality rums, with notes of coconut, vanilla, and caramel reminiscent of holiday baking. Although some reviewers found the alcohol intensity slightly overpowering, the overall opinion is that it delivers a warm, fruity, and chocolaty experience, making it a great value for its price. While it may not be the most complex rum, its harmonious blend of flavors makes it highly enjoyable.
