The Nectar The Antigua Distillery The Nectar Of The Daily Drams 2015
"A pleasant surprise" is how more than one taster sums up this Antigua pot-still. Toasted coconut, dark caramel, vanilla and dried fruit up front, with solvent and a spicy oak backbone. At 65% it runs hot, and several people say the alcohol isn't perfectly integrated — give it 20-30 minutes in the glass and it opens right up. A few compare it to Foursquare.

The look inside the bottle
How does The Nectar The Antigua Distillery The Nectar Of The Daily Drams 2015 taste?
Aggregated from 50 community reviews.
Hot, coconut-caramel Antigua that needs air Well-liked overall: coconut, caramel and dried-fruit richness with real power. The recurring gripe is heat — the 65% alcohol isn't fully integrated, so it needs time to settle.

Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Excellent bottle, superb length. An atomic bomb that gives me such pleasure when I drink it. I bought a bottle!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one was a huge surprise and when I look at the price tag you get a LOT for your money. Nicely fruity with spicy warm palate. The alcohol has been integrated pretty well. It needs to rest for 15-30 minutes to release all flavours and even the day after the glass smells wonderful.
Review by Righrum
A good Antigua, better than the 1423 SBS which should be a sister cask. On the nose rich of butter, glue and vanilla, the taste is really consistent but in the aftertaste adds a bit of burnt wood. Really nice
Review by Rare Akuma
Sharp and aggressive on the nose, but mellows out after a good 20-30 minutes. Then you get toasted coconut and dark caramel glazed pineapple followed by zingy lemongrass and zest. Active cask profile with lots of malt and almost overpowering vanilla. A touch of flowers and anise at the end. More toasted coconut in the mouth, now with clear apple influences that were less apparent on the nose. Again lots of influence from the cask with extreme caramelisation, vanilla and malt. It’s hot and peppery, counterbalanced by sweeter nuttiness, sugar-dusted breakfast cereal and pine resin. Very nice, sweet and lasting finish ultimately ending in bitter espresso. The alcohol is not integrated perfectly. This needs some time in the glass before it’s optimal. Still the price/quality at release is absolutely nutty.
Review by Johannes
I like it very much! Very spicy, especially lots of nuts and wood. Alcohol not perfectly integrated, but this gives the rum power!
Review by Basti
Könnte geruchlich fast ein Foursquare sein. Schöne Noten in der Nase, die am Gaumen leider vom Alkohol in den Hintergrund gerückt werden.
Review by Jarek
Ähnliches Profil wie der SBS, der Alkohol noch etwas dominanter.
Review by Mentalo
Erster Rum aus Antigua. Erinnert mich stark an Foursquare und ich bin kein Fan von denen. Alkohol könnte besser integriert sein. Nach etwas Zeit wird er auch besser und objektiv ist es auch kein so schlechter Rum, aber es ist einfach nicht mein Profil.
Review by Vincent D
I was expecting a lot from this rum which finally disappointed her.The nose is not expressive enough for me. Of the greediness with a caramel and vanilla. Solvents. But nothing more for me.In the mouth, I find that the alcohol crushes everything.Not for me.
Review by gali jo
Un nez très porté sur le caramel gourmand, en bouche l'alcool n'est pas très bien intégré, on retrouve le caramel et du solvant avec une amertume sans aucune gourmandise malgré une légère sucrosité
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Somewhere between velier 2012 and english Harbour 2015... Nevertheless, not nearly as good as the other two vintages. I am bothered by the iodine and solvent note, the alcohol could be a little better integrated and overall it is not as complex as the others and rather just caramel and slightly burnt. Definitely not a bad rum but long not at the level of the other Antigua single casks...
Review by Jonas
Hm. Komisches Ding. Könnte nen Foursquare sein. Außerdem etwas zu alkoholisch. Andere Liga als der Velier Antigua und der EH High Congener.

Ne me trochu ostrejsi, ale prijemny
