Tasting notes
English Harbour Five Year Rum has Superior excellence and flavour. Viewed by Rum Connoisseurs in the Caribbean and Worldwide as an impeccably smooth, light bodied Rum. This Rum is aged in oaken casks and is a minimum of five years old. With numerous awards under its belt English Harbour 5yr Rum speaks for itself as it has converted many cognac and scotch drinkers into 5yr Old adorers. The polished copper hue of the spirit prepares the drinker for the initial impression of cherry, oak and a wisp of smoke. The first sip of ripe apple, coconut and hints of cinnamon fill the palate. Then the slightly sweet coconut, spice and smoke finish complements the body of the mature spirit. Rich...amber colour. Mildly spicy, banana nut bread aromas...off dry medium to full bodied palate with robust toffee, roasted nuts, sugared butter and brown spice flavours...very rich and sexy with great mix ability.
