English Harbour

One of the best
This is the best rum tasted so far, but I have Appleton Joy, El dorado 25 and Zafra 30 left to check out. But i’m sure this one will remain top five t

Best Agricole ever tasted. It’s not what you expect when you taste an Agricole. This one has a nice nose which is not very common when it comes to Agr

One of my top 5
It’s much alike the 21-year old, but much smoother even though it’s 90 proof. Another difference is the taste of ginger and species. Unfortunately it’

This must be one of the best from O&O. It’s made out of both suger cane juice and molasses. In the beginning it’s quite sweet and then comes the citru

I’m a fan of English Harbour and this one doesn’t disappoint me. Very dry and oaky. Can’t compete with the 1981 but a fantastic rum which I always enj

Just below my top choices
If you’re ready to pay around 90€, this is one of the best choices. It’s very smooth and it tastes sweet fruit, spices, leather, some candy and vanill

Rare Proof 1998 - 18 years
Another great one from Malecon
This one is a little bit stronger than the ”Rare Proof 20”, which gives it a signficant character. You can taste wood, caramel, peach and cocoa. In th

Opthimus
25-Year Malt Whiskey Finish
A little bit too sweet!
It’s a complex Ron with lots of nice notes, but the strength (43%) don’t quite balance up the sweetness. You can clearly feel whisky notes in the end.
