English Harbour 90th Anniversary Limited Edition Rum
English Harbour 90th Anniversary Limited Edition Rum celebrates nine decades of Antigua Distillery Ltd: a limited-edition blend drawn from the rarest rums in the distillery's cellar — including components aged in Armagnac, Cognac, and Calvados casks — bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV) in this 700mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Antigua Distillery was incorporated in 1933, when rum shop owners of Madeiran origin pooled their resources to build a proper distillery in St. John's, Antigua. For the 90th anniversary, the blending team reached into the cellar's deepest stocks rather than chasing an age statement — a tribute to the art of blending, built on English Harbour's classic five-column all-copper continuous still, molasses-based rum, finished with rare brandy- and wine-cask components.
Tasting notes (official-label copy): nose of butterscotch, toffee, vanilla crème brûlée, bright red apple, pear, nutmeg, cinnamon, cashews, raisins, and figs; palate of cinnamon, vanilla, apples, pears, and orange rind — bright and friendly; warm, lingering finish of raisin and nutty tones.
Why buy the 90th Anniversary? Because it's a distillery milestone in a bottle — cellar-deep blending from one of the Caribbean's oldest distilleries, and a limited edition that won't come around again. Browse the rum collection, the English Harbour brand collection, and more aged expressions in spirits.
Serving note: neat in a copita or snifter at room temperature — this one earns the good glass.
