English Harbour 5 Year Old Rum

English Harbour 5 Year Old Rum has been produced in Antigua since 1783, and some will say it is the best rum on the Caribbean island. With its whiskey hued golden color and rich, smooth flavor, English Harbour 5 Year Old Rum has a quality that is soft and mellow. It hits the nose with notes of sweet molasses, oak, and almond and hints of baking spices, developed in the aging process in lightly-charred oak barrels. It has a wonderfully long finish with a hint of sweetness that will linger long after the last sip. With a sip, English Harbour 5 Year Old Rum has a instantly warm and comforting taste. The first notes that hit are vanilla followed by syrup, toffee, and hints of baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish is wonderfully long with perfectly balanced notes of oak, butter, and a slight touch of sweet tannins. English Harbour 5 Year Old Rum is a great choice to use in a classic Caribbean inspired cocktail. It is a great mixer for rum punches, Mojitos, and of course the famous Antiguan Rum Swizzle. However, this rum is best enjoyed neat, over a large cube, or with just a splash of water.
