English Harbour Madeira Cask
This was created in honour English Harbour’s Founders who came from the island of Madeira, a sovereign state of Portugal.This Madeira Finish is held very dear to their hearts and so in the creation of their third extension, they wanted to make it very special. The casks were sourced from Blandy’s and unlike their first two Finishes, where only one type of wine cask was used, they used four different type of Madeira cask for this blend. The casks are a mix of Bual, Sercial, Malvasia and Tinta, which gives this Finish a complexity that is not easily describable.
Country of origin AntiguaCask Finish Series
The line extensions of English Harbour 5 YO Rum were crafted and released to celebrate the company’s 85th anniversary in 2017. Three cask types were carefullly chosen based on their historic connection with eithre the company or the island of Antigua. Before Antigua was a British colony it was owned by Spain. Early traces of rum leaving rh Caribbean, reveals that rum was being shipped back to Spain in sherry casks that were brought over by the Spaniards on their journey across the Atlantic. Each finish starts with English Harbour 5 YO rum as the base. After being aged for 5 years, in traditional Bourbon barrels, the rum is disgorged and finished in authentic Port, Sherry or Madeira casks. When finishing period is complete, 5% 10 year old rum is added to the final blend. Then the product is bottled at 46% using a non-chill filtered method, to maintain the true flavor of the product.
