Still not a "kick you in the face cuz yer a pirate" rum, but a good rum just the same.

EH5 is not 'rummy', but it is wonderful. And not too pricey for the quality. It lies down the path of Mt. Gay, Santa Teresa, etc, rather than that of Demeraras, Zacapa, Zaya, Goslings. Much more accessable to your whisky drinking friends, with more bite and less syrup. Its youth is to its credit -- over aging this little sweetheart would probably blur out the character and bite. By the way, it has been a while since I checked in, I like your new format which is more blog-like. Cheers David Bilge, I have to disagree. EH5 is not ‘rummy’, but it is wonderful.

Rum is made from the ocean. But with less salt - and fish. Apparently English Harbour, despite it's name, has few overtones of salt, fish or other oceanic qualities. Actually, Bilge, it sounds like a rum I would like. Sweet and delicate - like me. :P Rum is wet, like the ocean. Rum is made from the ocean. But with less salt – and fish.

Now I have no real taste for rum but judging Bilge's inebriation, I'm going to have to judge this one at a 2 star. True he was off track and having fun, he still held the ability to form words and group them together as a sentence. This just isn't pirate. Oh but cheers mate for spreading out the supply on yer good rum. Get tanked on free samples which is what a REAL pirate would do. Rum gives pirates super powers… to use against… the dutch.
