English Harbor is the trademark of Antigua Distillery Ltd., the only distillery of Antigua. Anthony Bento and his family are the owners of the lands and are originally from Portugal. At the end of slavery, in the mid-nineteenth century, farmers came from the Portuguese island of Madeira to grow cane.
The contract includes 5 years of work and the return journey. They do not hold up the climate and want to return but the British do not pay the return, so the Portuguese remain in Antigua, they begin to market rum and, in 1932, they open the distillery.
English Harbor is a molasses rum, with 36-hour fermentation and distillation in a triple continuous column with the Savalle column originally from 1932 still present. Aging takes place in the 3,000 barrels ex-bourbon.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
