Schönes Honiggelb im Glas,
In der Nase frisch und fruchtig. Menthol und frisches Holz bauen eine gewisse Spannung auf, mit Karamell überzogene Medizinkräuter sorgen für den Twist.
Am Gaumen weich und angenehm mit einem speziellen Touch. Schön ausgewogene Aromen von Vanille, Karamell, Holz und etwas Zitronengras sind zu entdecken. Kandierte Früchte und ein wenig Schokolade kommen im fliessenden Übergang zum Abgang.
Im Abgang lange und fruchtig, am Schluss bleibt etwas Menthol mit Zimt und Schokoladen Nuancen.
Ein toller Rum mit eigenständigen Profil für laue Sommertage an denen sich Einsteiger und Geniesser treffen.7+

Beautiful honey yellow in the glass,
Fresh and fruity on the nose. Menthol and fresh wood build a certain thrill, medicinal herbs coated with caramel provide the twist.
Soft and pleasant on the palate with a special touch. Nicely balanced flavors of vanilla, caramel, wood and some lemongrass can be detected. Candied fruit and a bit of chocolate come in a smooth transition to the finish.
Long and fruity finish, some menthol remains at the end with cinnamon and chocolate nuances.
A good rum with an independent profile for warm summer days where beginners and connoisseurs meet.7+

Vanilla, fudge... not super complex or textured in mouthfeel; but a solid, sweet, easy to drink straight rum at a very decent price. Maybe it's a luxury shot; maybe it's an entry - level sipper? I don't think many will fall in love with it, but I can't imagine not liking it. Given it's sweetness, I don't think it would make a complex cocktail, but I imagine it would disappear in soda pop... Which, sometimes, is just what you want.

A pale golden colour. A light sweet smell, some sherry and honey, really nice. The taste is a little bit like a Whisky, not really sweet at first, later on it gets a little bit sweeter. The finish is short to medium long, a little bit sharp. A nice dram.

This rum gets better after some months in the bottle. It's first a little bit harsh.

I get some old celar in the nose, like in the Kirk& Sweeney 12. That's a smell of apricot with wood.
The taste starts also with the old celar, apricot with wood and vanilla. Quite simple taste, there is spice, some tanins and some alcohol in the finish.
Not very complex and young rum but not bad for the price.

Nose: vanilla, white oak, burned sugar, toasted cask, some apricot and peach, old celar
Taste: apricot, white oak, vanilla, soem burned sugar, peach
Finish: spice, some tanins, white oak and apricot

Sweetness: 1.5/5
Fruits: 2/5
Spice: 3/5
Mildness: 2.5/5
Complexity: 2/5
Value (18€): 3/5

Do 500 Kč dobrá volba - pil jsem dost dražších a mnohem horších kořalek. Celkový dojem je vskutku takový britsky koloniální; pro sledování Pirátů z Karibiku jako dělané. I lahev je taková starosvětsky lodnická; bakelitové víčko to sice drobet kazí, ale pod ním se překvapivě skrývá poctivý korkový špunt.
Dobře vymyšlený, lehký a příjemně pitelný, jen jaksi pořád stejný rum - což ale v téhle cenové kategorii nepřekvapuje. Kupodivu ale obstoji i v bezprostředním srovnání s dvakrát dražšími kolegy, což z těch levných zvládne málokterý (rozuměj - ne, že snad byl stejně dobrý, avšak nejenže nepůsobí jako úplně hnusný, ale dá se jím neurážlivě, ba dokonce vcelku uspokojivě pokračovat).
Nějaké zralejší flašce z ostrova Antigua v podobně rozumné relaci bych se určitě nebránil, opakovat tuhle už ale nebudu - Plantation Grande Reserve, ale dokonce třeba i Pampero Aniversario zahraje za stejné peníze přeci jen podstatně lepší bigbít.

PS: Po okoštování dražších variant mohu jen konstatovat, že v poměru cena/výkon je tohle nejlepší English Harbour, jaký pořídíte.

This rum goes well with cola and I drink it straight up all the time. Simple but good taste!

Je to jeden ze skupiny jednodušších rumů typu Abuelo Anejo, Contadora 12, Plantation Grande Reserva. Za zmínku stojí spíše jeho upravení bratříčci, Sherry Cask, Port Cask u těch sudy přidali mnohem více charakteru.
