If so, what did you think of them?

The Ron Zacapa 15 year is on my to buy list. I had a glass several years ago at a friends house that he got up in PA. I don't remember it very well at the moment. Hoping to run across a bottle some time without having to order it.

The English Harbor 5 year. I do have a bottle of that. I have had a couple tall shots of it. The first taste has an above average bite that really sits on the tip of the tongue with a strong brown sugary taste. No real burn going down but a nice feeling of warmth. The next sip is smooth with a brown sugary caramel allspice aftertaste with no tongue bite. Waiting 5 minutes or so between sips brings back the tip of the tongue bite for me.
On a scale of 1-10 I'd put it around a 6.5/7. Overall it's a nice addition to the rum shelf.
