Rum from Antigua
Within the group of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean lies the island of Antigua, which was colonized by the British in 1632 - around 150 years after its discovery. The first sugar cane was finally grown on the island around 1650 and the first rum was distilled a little later. Sugar cane production grew dramatically in the following years and by 1897, 6,000 hectares of the island were already planted with sugar cane, which was processed in almost 80 factories. By 1939, the number of factories had dropped to two, which meant that the end of large-scale rum production was in sight.
The dwindling number of distilleries also meant that the number of different rums available to bar owners for blending their blends also dropped. This led to discontent within the bar scene, which is why some shop owners joined forces and bought their own plantation, where they eventually opened their own distillery and began distilling muscovado molasses in pot stills, with the distillates eventually being sold as white and aged brown rum under the brand name Caballero. In the 1950s, the pot stills were replaced by a copper column system and the name of Caballero rum was finally changed to Cavalier Rum. In addition to the well-known Cavalier Rum, the Antigua Distillery also produces the English Harbour export line.
English Harbour Madeira Cask Finish
The rum used for the English Harbour Madeira Cask Finish matures for five years in ex-bourbon barrels before it is finally finished for 3-6 months in Madeira barrels from Malmsey & Bual. On the nose, the copper-coloured rum shows warm and inviting notes of walnuts and hazelnuts, which are launched by cinnamon, fresh citrus fruits and marzipan notes. On the palate, the rum is reminiscent of marzipan, white chocolate and light citrus fruits. The aftertaste is strong and with a noble Madeira note. The noble English Harbour Madeira Cask Finish should be enjoyed neat and is well suited to combining with dark chocolate.
