Aged to perfection, English Harbour 10-Year Reserve is a deep mahogany rum, distilled from molasses and matured in whisky and bourbon barrels. Since its 2006 debut, it has captivated connoisseurs, offering a richer, more refined evolution of its 5-year counterpart. The aroma teases with coconut, cinnamon, and tropical florals, leading to a palate of butterscotch, coffee, and baked apple. Smoky cedar lingers through the finish, unveiling notes of cardamom, caramel, and ripe blackberries. Crafted in a 100% copper column still, it ages in Antigua’s warm climate, enhancing bold flavors of spice and cigars—an experience of pure sophistication.

Collin van Schayk has been making rum at the J. Gow distillery, located on the uninhabited island of Lamb Holm, for almost 8 years. In 2015, his father tried to get him to take over his fruit wine business (founded in 2001), but Collin decided to go into rum production. Thus, he took half of the building for rum production. He ferments and distills all of the rum at J. Gow, as well as designing all of the company’s labels and graphics. TRL: How do you see the rum market evolving in the next 5-10 years, and what trends do you think will shape the future of the industry? There’s a growing demand for quality rum especially older aged rums as they become more readily available and consumers learn more about the amazing range of rums available outside of the supermarket norms. It’s an exciting time for Scottish rum as the older rums come of age, it’ll be really cool to see 8 and 12 year old Scottish rums in the not too distant future.
