English Harbour 5-Year

Nice nose, absolutely drinkable, only small problem I had with strongness. The rum seemed a little bit bland, but it was not bad at all. It tastes to me like some kind of very mild Eldorado 12yo.

Den er god til folk der er ny til rum. Dejlig rund og god vanilje smag

Nose nothing special, also I can't find something interesting in taste.

Quite light color, caramel aroma, sweet beginning of the body, oaky middle, short alcoholic end of the body. Almost absent tail, just decent touch in the middle of the tongue.

Premier rhum English Harbour, Calendrier de l'avent. Si je le compare à d'autre rhum de 5 ans, il bien bon. Peux se boire seul facilement.

English Harbour 5 Y.O. je všestranný rum, lehký a velmi jemný. Po destilaci zrál v sudech po bourbonu po dobu minimálně 5 let. Potěší i milovníky koňaku a skotské whisky.

Aroma: třešně, dřevo, náznak kouře, jemné koření, banánový a ořechový chléb.
Chuť: suchá, velmi jemná, s tóny zralých jablek, robustní kávy, pražených ořechů, tmavého cukru a koření.
Zakončení: čisté a elegantní, s přetrvávajícími tóny tmavého tropického ovoce.

Burn, not much else. Bit of orange but it’s a reach to get there. Going on my cocktail shelf.

barva : světlejší zlato
vune lehce těžší, caramel a lehce koření, máslo, vanilka
chut příjemně pitelný, opět lehce koření
zaver : plný bez pálení

$32 CAD I purchased this one on recommendations for a solid rum with a good price. Perhaps due to it’s accessibility and frequently large amount of bottles in the store, I never paid much attention to the English Harbour 5 year. I knew it was only a matter of time before I gave it a try though.

When you get the bottle on it’s own, it’s actually quite nice aesthetically. I really like the clean shape and subtle palm trees on the label.

The rum is very easy on the nose with lots of dried fruit and sweetness. Light colour.

Nice clean rum flavour. There’s a little bit of sweetness, some oak, but just solid rum flavour. Minimal heat. Finish is quite long and very enjoyable. It’s on the drier side but I still very much enjoy it.

All together, this rum delivers exactly as you think it would. From label, to colour, to taste; English Harbour 5 year knows what it is and follows through on that promise. Great rum.

I'm not sure what it is, but it's not quite what I like. I think I'm becoming more of an Appleton guy, with most else just seeming to be somewhat flat.

I'll see if this one improves during its stay on the shelf
