English Harbour - 90th Anniversary Release Antigua Rum 700ml

English Harbour 90th Anniversary Release Rum is a breathtaking celebration of Caribbean craftsmanship. Created to honor the nine decades since the Antigua Distillery was founded, this limited release blends the rarest reserves in their historic cellars.

While many modern rums rely on mass production, this exclusive spirit is strictly limited. Only three hundred bottles were imported to the United States. The rum begins with premium Caribbean molasses, undergoing a traditional thirty six hour open top fermentation. It is then carefully distilled in a custom copper hybrid still. The true magic happens during its completely tropical maturation. The master blenders combine a remarkable selection of rums, including liquid aged for up to nineteen years in ex bourbon barrels. To create its signature complexity, the rum is then finished in an exceptional array of luxury casks. These include Cognac, Armagnac, Calvados, Sauternes, and Tokaji barrels.

In the glass, the rum shines with a bright gold color. The nose opens with classic Antiguan aromas of rich butterscotch, toffee, and toasted vanilla. These sweet notes are balanced by bright red apple, ripe pear, and a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg. On the palate, the spirit is brilliantly friendly and bright. It delivers layers of warm vanilla, orange rind, and crisp orchard fruit. The finish is warm and comforting, leaving pleasant hints of raisin, fig, and roasted cashews.

Bottled at forty three percent alcohol by volume, this rum offers a beautifully approachable yet deeply layered tasting experience. It is a stunning collector bottle and a triumphant toast to traditional rum making.
