An easygoing five year old Antiguan column still rum with light wood, vanilla, caramel and soft dried fruit, gently sweetened and versatile enough to drink neat or pour into a mixer at 40%.
Description
English Harbour 5 is a column-distilled rum from Antigua, made by the island's distillery from molasses and aged around five years in ex-bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels. It is a light, friendly everyday rum rather than a heavy aged statement, built for broad appeal.
The profile is gentle and rounded: vanilla and caramel over light wood, with soft dried fruit and a faint honeyed, sherry-like edge. It is lightly sweetened, so the texture is smooth and the sweetness sits on the easier side of dry, which is part of why it works so well both neat and in cocktails. At 40% it is undemanding and good value, a dependable bottle that most drinkers will enjoy without much thought, and a reasonable pour for casual mixing.
