Review by Frank
One should always taste with longer pauses high-quality rum, then the aha effect is much greater 🥹Nose: intense, full-bodied, beautiful! Woody-spicy-roasty-fruity. Strong-sweet comes the oak barrel, followed by vanilla pipe tobacco and soft, sweet Danish licorice. Plus juicy dried plum and sweet-tart dried blackcurrant with some caramel. It's dark, slightly bacony-smoky and malty-roasty. A really nice and full bouquet.Palate: wow, intense and powerful on the palate too, nice woody-roasty-spicy. First something malty-salty and woody-acidic with iodine. Spices in the direction of nutmeg, maggi and umami. Something slightly dirty, like rubber with tar pushes forward, which fits very well. Tart nut is also there.Really round. Very good
Review by Maxence
Typical "Dark Demerara". Amazing color, very well balanced nose but slightly too bitterish palate. Still a very nice rum 😋
Review by RumTaTa
Rum-X Calendar 2024 Very nice color in the glass! On the nose I thought we were visiting the Caroni Distillery but it's too bitter and not enough tar/diesel/car repair. I think we have a really old Guyana Enmore KFM in the glass today and because of the intense bitterness I'm guessing RX7441. Resolution: a different good KFM from 1991 than I suspected. I didn't know this one yet. It is already borderline bitter. Rating -0.1 ----- The nose already reveals aromas that usually only appear on the palate or in the finish: woody, licorice, herbs and coffee, for example. On the palate: a powerful board! But with lots of little nuances, great! The alcohol gives just the right boost. Finish: very woody and very on the bitter side, but again with lots of nuances that don't let the bitterness get boring. A very good rum on the verge of "excellent", but the bitterness doesn't really appeal to me. An exciting experience!
Review by Galli33
It‘s a good one! Maybe it‘s diluted, because i was missing the power… the finish is really short, only the wood notes remain. Very impressive enmore nose, fruity, woody, nutty, leather, some fresh minty/licorice notes and a lot of rubber. Lovely nose😍 All these notes continues in mouth. In addition i found some notes of apricots. The finish is quite unspectacular short. All these notes disapper after some seconds, the wood is the only taste which remains. It‘s a good KFM 91, but can‘t keep up with the KFM‘s from Flensburg.

Update 2025/01/01: Today in crosstasting with the Isla MEC from 1988. The oxidation has already clearly affected the sample. Less fruity compared to the Isla. The smokiness is still clearly noticeable. It is no longer as aggressive as in the fresh rum. The acidity has also decreased in the mouth. Compared to the Isla, the strong dried plum, red fruit and fruit compote with gravy that is so typical of the old Demeraras and is fully present in the Isla is missing. On the other hand, it has a nice strong side that Isla lacks somewhat. On the finish, the umami and stewed fruit flavor that I missed in my mouth comes through for another visit. Still a great rum, in my opinion criminally undervalued here. No update of the rating due to the strong oxidation Original 2022/10/12:The third KFM after the new FRC and the RA. As little fruit as the FRC, but less inviting: more polish and varnish, less herbs and tea, the smoky note is more reminiscent of ashtrays. In the mouth, it is more balanced and yet it has a surprising and rather unpleasant acidity, which also intensifies the bitterness. This is criticism at the highest level; this KFM is also a great rum. I find the FRC noticeably better because it is more balanced and more intense, and it is on a par with the RA.
Review by Martin Augustin
Ein sehr ledriger Geruch mit kräftigen Kräutern und Lakritze steigt einem intensiv in die Nase. Diese Noten sind im Geschmack noch intensiver mit einer sehr ausgeprägten bitteren Note. Diese bleibt auch lange im Abgang. Ansonsten sehr viel Leder, leicht schokoladig und Bleistift. Hat auch was von Karamalz. Insgesamt schmeckt er sehr leicht. Ein Rum, an dem sich die Geister scheiden. Entweder man liebt ihn, oder man hasst ihn. Mir gefällt er sehr gut.
Review by Thunderbird
What a wonderful nose, heavy dark spicy, with prunes, leather, wood and some fresh mint. The palate can't quite keep up... the barrel impact is too strong! Otherwise the palate follows the nose, wonderful! The finish is long and pleasant, with prunes returning at the end! However, the RA is still the best of the KFMs for me at the moment
Review by mto75
The Nobilis has to prove itself today against the Flens KFM 91/21. Both with a nice nose of dried fruit, herbs, leather and toffee. The Nobilis comes minimally more about licorice, the Flens a little more about the dried fruit. On the palate, but especially on the finish, the Nobilis does come more over the wood barrel and is a bit more bitter. The Flens can score here with a better balance of nutmeg and caramel. Overall, in this respect, one point less than the Flens.
Review by Alex1981
RumX Kalender 2024 Day 8: Spannende Nase, Kirsche, dunkles Holz, geht in die Richtung Armagnac. Jetzt mehr helle Früchte in Richtung Apfel? Calvados? Wtf? Am Gaumen bleiben die Äpfel, nehme an Calvadosfass. Dazu Röstnoten, Holz, schön integrierter Alkohol. Entwickelt sich mehr dreckig und leicht bitter. Tannine. Gefällt mir mega gut! Spannend wie er sich entwickelt und die Komplexität kommt. Alter Enmore im Calva Fass? Leider nur im Finish ein wenig schwach.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Really well made and not too blatantly bitter KFM 91! Here I would have blindly guessed an old Clarendon first, crazy. Great combination of sour cherry, dried plum, licorice, dark chocolate, old leather, very subtle violets and lavender, strong mocha and lots of essential oils such as menthol but also spruce and pine needles, like a sauna infusion. 🧖🏼♂️🌲 Rather bitter and fresh on the finish. Great bottling! On a par with the equally grandiose Bellamy's 1991 KFM in direct comparison, only slightly fruitier.
Review by Banana Joe
Advent calendar #8: The typical Caroni aromas on the nose, but they fade after a while. What remains is a lot of wood, tannins and, for me, Amarena cherries in the background. No more Caroni for me on the palate, it lacks "dirtiness" Overall very bitter, but that doesn't bother me here.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Well hello dirtiness… Fist impression options: Caroni A dirty TDL one of the “Demaroni” rums Could the Clarendoni bottle (RX16068) be an option? Haven’t tasted that one myself. I was just thinking about “weird” Caroni bottles and that one popped in my mind. In the mouth for me the rubber/tar/dirty/workshop notes are dominant, evolving to wood and some menthol in the finish. Personally I’m tending more towards a dirty-type Caroni. Can’t say if it has ever been in my glass or not 😅 lets find that out at 21h. It will probably be some kind of mindfuck 😂 After Serge’s suggestion: 1991 KFM That could work indeed. The KFM stands out in a Guyana as well as in a Caroni line-up, sitting somewhere in between. Now a little bit sweetness up front evolving to burnt wood… Well done Serge 👏 PS: nice rum for the 400th tasting in the app 🥳
Review by DomM
Very much in the dark / woody / roasted side of the spectrum. Personally I think this has been bottled at a very nice point. However, I appreciate that this profile is not right for every taste and might be considered to bitter/wood forward.

"More fruity on the nose than on the palate. Typical KFM bitterness that you have to like. I like it though. Well balanced and spicy, but not the king of KFMs in my opinion. In direct comparison, the alcohol is very soft on the palate."
