English Harbour Small Batch Cask Finish Rum - Smooth Caribbean Rum

A Smooth Caribbean Rum with Elegant Barrel-Finished Depth – English Harbour Small Batch Cask Finish Rum

English Harbour Small Batch Cask Finish Rum is a premium expression from Antigua that layers classic Caribbean rum craftsmanship with refined cask finishing for enhanced complexity and character. It begins as a carefully distilled rum, then undergoes a secondary maturation in specialty casks to add richness and nuance.

Craftsmanship

• Distilled on Antigua using copper-column stills for a clean yet characterful rum base

• Initially aged in American oak (ex-bourbon barrels), then finished in specialty casks — the second cask often previously held port, sherry or wine — to build depth, complexity, and layered flavors

• Bottled at 40–46% ABV depending on the release, without chill filtering to preserve aromatic and flavor integrity

• Produced in small batches, giving each bottling unique character that reflects thoughtful cask selection and artisanal rum-making tradition

Best Enjoyed
Savor neat or over a large ice cube to fully appreciate its balanced sweetness, oak influence, and fruit-driven finish. It also works beautifully in premium rum cocktails such as a Rum Old Fashioned or a refined Mai Tai.
