English Harbour 1981 25-Year

If it would not be so dry it would have been 10 for me. It wins on briefing for at least 20 minutes.

Sugar: Estimated at 15 gpl. The flavours in this rum are so well balanced that none of the vanilla, butterscotch, almond, wood, and baking spices stand out. Extremely smooth with no burn at all. This rum seems to disappear on your palate leaving you with a pleasant warmth. It’s so easy drinking that the rum seems to disappear and that’s a shame given the price and rarity of this rum. I tasted this in a flight that included El Dorado 25 and for that reason I give this a 9 out of 10.

I tried this Rum in an Annapolis rum bar and it was fantastic. I was blown away by its balance. It was nearly perfect . It has all the elements of a great and memorable spirit. Up to that point I enjoyed Bourbon until I drank this neat with a drop of water and the results were life changing as I abandoned the Bourbon ship and entered the rum world. I do not own a bottle but wish I did . This is up to this point the best I’ve ever tasted and has led me to many other Guyana Rums. If you love rum you must try this and I emphasize the word must.

It has a great opening and a fantastic finish. Must have.

Ein wirklich hervorragender Rum! Er hat ein wenig etwas von einem Scotch. Sehr gut zum trinken. Hat Spaß gemacht diesen Rum zu kosten.

- vůně velmi příjemná, ovoce, vanilka a čokoláda
- chuť nasládlá, citrusové plody, pomeranč, zakončení dlouhé s příchutí rybízu
další vynikající, jen ta cena...

Had this in the Cayman Islands and was very impressed. Warm and sweet, with hints of molasses and the woodsy flavor of the casks.

Recommended by the owner/bartender at the Occidental Lounge. Easily became one of my two favorite rums. A delightful mixture of strong oak and caramel.

Great rum but between the price and the difficulty to find I’m torn on another bottle.

After aging for 25 years, you can taste the oak, vanilla, caramelized fruits, toffee, cashews, cinnamon, and honey. But its overpriced. I glad i taste tested this one before buying a bottle.
