Antiguan Rum
Antigua is an island in the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean and was not colonised by the British until almost 150 years after its discovery in 1632. Just a few years later - around 1650 - the first sugar cane was grown on the island and a little later the first rum was distilled. In the following years, sugar cane production grew dramatically and by 1897 6,000 hectares of the island were planted with sugar cane, which was processed in 78 factories. The number of factories had fallen to two by 1939 and this also meant the end of large-scale rum production. As the number of distilleries dwindled, the number of rums available to bar owners for blending also decreased, which is why in 1932 a small number of shop owners joined forces and bought their own plantations, eventually opening their own distillery. In this distillery, muscovado molasses was distilled in pot stills and a white and an aged brown rum was produced, which was sold under the brand name Caballero. The original pot stills were replaced by a copper column system in the 1950s and the name of the Caballero rums was changed to Cavalier. In addition to the Cavalier rums, the Antigua Distillery produces English Harbour rums for export.
English Harbour Port Cask Finish
The rum for the English Harbour Port Cask Finish is stored for five years in former bourbon barrels made of American white oak before being finished for 3-6 months in approximately 100-year-old Royal O'Porto port wine barrels.
The slightly amber-colored rum impresses on the nose with nuances of plums, dried fruits, almonds, citrus peel and ginger. Aromas of grated black pepper, wild berries and a hint of leather are present on the palate. The aftertaste is long and infused with notes of tobacco leaves. An ideal dessert rum that also goes well with a pipe and is best enjoyed neat.
