English Harbour 90th Anniversary Limited Edition Rum (75cl)

This limited edition marks ninety years of Antigua Distillery, founded in 1932 by Madeiran families whose descendants still run it. It is built around blending: rums aged between 6 and 12 years from the English Harbour cellars, finished across six cask types. Those casks held ex-bourbon, Armagnac, Cognac, Calvados, Sauternes and Tokaji. The rum comes from a 36-hour open-top fermentation and distillation in a copper John Dore and Savalier hybrid still. It is bright gold, with butterscotch, toffee, vanilla crème brûlée, red apple, pear, nutmeg, cinnamon, cashews, raisins and figs on the nose. The palate is bright, with cinnamon and vanilla leading into apples, pears and orange rind, then a warm finish of raisin and nuts.
