In the early 19th century, the first rum's produced in Antigua were concocted by individual estate owners using crude "Pot Stills" to make their home brews. But even in those rollicking days, Antigua Rum was known for its lightness and rather elegant flavour.
With the demise of rum production on the estates in the early 20th century, the trade shifted to individual rum shops whose owners concocted their own blends and sold them under colourful names like Red Cock, House and Silver Leaf. In 1932 a number of these rum shop owners joined together to form the Antigua Distillery Ltd.
In the early days the company sold two types of rum and an aged "mature" rum known as Caballero Rum. In 1934 the Company purchased a number of estates and a sugar factory and began to produce its own molasses. The factory produced a very high quality and distinctive grocery sugar known as Mucovado.
Antigua Distillery has long been the Premium Distiller of fine rums in The Leeward islands. As we move into the new century we are committed to maintaining the high standards production and packaging that have been developed over recent decades.
ENGLISH HARBOUR RUM is considered by many experts to be one of the finest blends of both Dark and Light Rum distilled in the Caribbean today, benefiting from multiple awards. In 2006, Forbes Magazine voted English Harbour Rum one of the ten most remarkable rums.
English Harbour 5 Year Old Rum
The polished copper hue of the spirit prepares the drinker for the initial impression of cherry, oak and a wisp of smoke. The first sip of ripe apple, coconut and hints of cinnamon fill the palate. Then the slightly sweet coconut, spice and smoke finish complement the body of the mature spirit.
Rich...amber colour. Mildly spicy, banana nut bread aromas...off dry medium to full bodied palate with robust toffee, roasted nuts, sugared butter and brown spice flavours...very rich and sexy with great mix ability.
