Made for drinkers who chase old, wood-forward Guyana rum and know 32 years in a barrel means the oak runs the show. Old varnished wood, leather, pencil shavings and prune, with coffee and burnt sugar underneath — then a menthol coolness that keeps it from drying out. One reviewer flags that the nose promises a touch more than the palate delivers, but the balance holds.

How does Distilia Enmore Greenheart Versailles 1988 taste?
Summarized by AI from 17 community reviews.
Old, wood-heavy Enmore with a menthol lift Deep, heavy wood with real freshness cutting through — one of the higher-rated pours here. Fans of ashy, leathery Enmore call it dangerously drinkable; the oak sits front and centre.

A beautiful nose, the kind that makes you want to dive into the liquid. Old varnished wood, leather and dried fruit. The palate is full-bodied, very woody, with pencil lead and prune. But there's freshness too, with a nice menthol note. The finish is long, balanced, woody but also fresh. Lots of wood here, but wonderfully counterbalanced by the freshness of the menthol. A great show.

... Enmore - drive distillery, now just a functional distillation device. Probably the only wooden distillation device in the world that enjoys great popularity. Enmore rums have flavors of ash, leather, heavy wood, which especially excite lovers of smoky whiskies. And if the producer adds a bit of molasses to the rum in the traditional Guyanese way, you have a unique, very strong and heavy rum in the bottle. One of my favorites.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
When buying Distilia releases you know that you will spend more than average on your bottle. This one was not disappointing. The nose promises more than the palate can deliver, though the overall impression is still good. 32 year in a barrel has a tendency to leave heavy wood notes and some bitterness and that's what you'll find here. Heavy yet well balanced notes. Be aware that the wood is taking first row 😊 The empty glass reveals even clearer notes.
