Romdeluxe DDL Wild Series Rum Enmore No. 15 MEC 1988
One reviewer called this "a very well balanced rum with good ABV integration," and that fits — a heavy, dark Demerara from a wooden pot still, all woody tobacco, leather, licorice and burnt sugar. Several tasters love the depth and long finish, but the smoky, slightly burnt note runs strong; a drop of water tames it. A winter, fireside pour rather than an easy one.
- Deep woody complexity
- Long finish
- Leather and spice

How does Romdeluxe DDL Wild Series Rum Enmore No. 15 MEC 1988 taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Heavy, smoky old Demerara for sippers Loved for its deep, spice-and-leather Demerara character and long finish. The recurring catch: a pronounced smoky, burnt note that several tasters wished was dialed back.
Fans of old, heavy Demerara and smoky whisky

Review by Tschusikowsky
Puh, Dieses Profil ist ultra speziell und sehr eigen. Mit alten Demeraras bin ich nicht so erfahren. Kann das gar nicht richtig einordnen. Erinnert mich an den SilverSeal 1974 den ich mal hatte. Aber für mich ist diese Abfüllung Meilenweit entfernt von anderen Enmore Abfüllungen desselben Jahrgangs, die ich bisher hatte. Braucht unbedingt ein Re-Tasting. Re-Tasting: ich bekomme gefallen an dem Profil, wahnsins komplex mit langem Abgang. Melasse, etwas Tannennadeln, Gewürze wie Piment, Anis, dunkle Schokolade. Es lässt einem an fleischige Dinge erinnern, etwa eine Art mexikanische Mole. Tiefer Geschmack. Einzig das verbrannte ist leicht zu dominant, nicht stören für mich, etwas weniger wäre aber hervorragend gewesen. Mit einem Tropfen Wasser balanciert sich das etwas aus.

06.11.2021 Another visit to "Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival and once again with special access and many very drunk people both days. Notes. Another secret mini bottle came out of nowhere and we all liked it. A very well balanced rum with good ABV integration. Medium fruity with light caramel and a vegetal touch. The palate is oily and has nice chocolate and a light smoky note. The finish is long and woody with a light minty note. This was the end of day 2.
Review by Thunderbird
This is a very heavy, dark Enmore. I can imagine drinking it in winter on a nice cold evening. The long ageing is already clearly evident in the cask aroma, but it's still just okay. The alcohol is barely perceptible. Overall, a finely balanced Enmore. I like it.
Review by Serge
Gaumen kann mit der Nase nicht ganz mithalten. Etwas zu verbrannt. Nur nach der Nase käme er fast an die 90 ran.
Review by zabo
Nach ein wenig Zeit wird er schon besser. An der Nase echt schön, aber mir ein bißchen zu rauchig im Geschmack, sonst wäre die Bewertung ein wenig besser ausgefallen.
Review by w00tAN
Schönes Teil, volle Kanne Holz, Tabak und Leder. Leichte Süße aber vor allem Gewürze, Gewürze, Gewürze. Sehr schön wenn er nicht so teuer wäre!
Review by Jakob
Nice heavy demerara profile, unfortunately a bit too smoky for me on the palate for the otherwise delicate aromatics of heavy dried fruit, licorice, leather, balanced spices and wood.
Review by Mentalo
komplexer Rum mit toller Nase. Viel Holz, Leder, Gewürze, Lakritz, Kräuter und etwas Frucht. Langer Abgang. Leider auch eine ausgeprägte Rauchnote die mich stört. Sonst sicherlich 3-4 Punkte mehr Wert.
