Review by Beau de Vries
Greatest Guyana I've had the pleasure of tasting!
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Probably one of the best Guyanas in this year for me. Impressed.
Review by Djehey
Compared to the 1994, it doesn't have that rotten wood aspect that I don't like. On the other hand, I think they've added a big ladleful of molasses to the barrel, which makes it very round, even nauseating. One glass at a time is more than enough for me. I also find the nose surprisingly discreet, perhaps a little closed because of the additions... With oxidation, the nauseating side disappears. It's simply an excellent rum.

Yes, "he makes the mocha round"! see RX11234
Review by Lukas Jäger
REV simply tastes good, even if it's the 2006 Little Brother Vintage! Incredibly delicious on the nose, I almost couldn't sit still next to the glass and let it breathe, I wanted to taste it straight away. Dark aromas of berries, resinous wood and bitter molasses entice you to try it. On the palate, the bitter representatives predominate and hit the tongue with an old wooden bar. Still cool, still delicious REV, but a clear drop compared to the nose. Nevertheless, a strong bottling that is a pleasure to have in the glass.
Review by Jonathan Massard
Cela n'est pas indiqué sur la fiche produit, mais le fût a très certainement été saucé (au minimum avec un ajout de caramel alimentaire pour la coloration) et a subit un vieillissement tropical et continental. Au nez, c'est dans un premier temps les notes de fruits secs (raisins, cerises) qui dominent ainsi qu'une amertume poussée par la vivacité de l'alcool sous forme de grains de poivre qui viennent chatouiller les narines. Puis, je distingue avec l'aération de l'orange confite, zeste et chocolat noir comme à l'ouverture d'un ballotin d'orangettes à Noël. C'est aussi gourmand sur du caramel bien gras et concentré, avec de belles odeurs de Moka (café, cappuccino, beurré, poudre de cacao). Plus éparses, j'ai un mélange de Kub Or, de réglisse en rouleau et de feuille de tabac à cigare. On a là une belle grosse mélasse aromatique. En début de bouche, il est assez rond et sirupeux. Les fruits sont toujours secs, accompagnés d'un caramel cuit dans la casserole. Cette relative douceur ne dure qu'une seconde. En milieu et fin de bouche une note évidente de réglisse en bâton fait son apparition! Puis une graine de piment oiseau vient d'éclore 🥵 C'est assez sale, amer, salé, boisé et acide. J'ai aussi du zeste de citron vert. En fait je dirais même sauce soja sucré salé. Il y a un aspect umami. L'alcool est bien intégré et délivre une bouche chaude et réconfortante. La finale est portée par un côté bois brûlé, très bien brûlé même et un peu cette sensation de cuve en aluminium. Puis, du thé noir, des quetsches cuites à la poêle, en fin de cuisson, des épices de cuisine (cannelle, baies rouges). Finalement, malgré l'amertume présente du début à la fin, celle-ci ne m'aura pas dérangée. Bien qu'on soit assez loin d'un REV 1994 (en terme de densité et de concentration), cette sélection réussie haut la main à livrer un joli représentant du style "semi-lourd" de Guyana. Sombre, complexe, étagé et gourmand, j'ai passé un très bon moment. PS: Le verre vide développe d'étranges odeurs savonneuses au début puis au bout d'une heure ou deux, du bacon bien salé (le goût des chips goût bacon).
Review by Alex Kunath
A really strong representative of its jarhgang and mark. Top rum!
Review by Maik Schütte
My first Enmore. Really tasty. Has been worthwhile to buy the sample👍 I must say but, it is not so my strength to smell out / taste the different characteristics.
Review by Thomas Wille
Beautiful REV 2006
Review by Mike H.
I tasted this rum at a store this week and it simply blew me away. Extremely complex and tasty.
Review by RumTaTa
Nose: very fruity, versatile and decidedly beguiling. On the palate (unfortunately) with a strong bitterness that extends far into the finish. Overall, however, very good and complex.
Review by Johannes
I love the REVs. The 94s are already a bit better, but the 2006s have a very high quality besides a slightly bitter off note. This one is one of them!
Review by DomM
On their first encounter, SBS and Nobilis are very much toe to toe. Nose goes to Nobilis for a little more openness and complexity. SBS takes the palate with (comparably) less wood/bitterness which leaves more room for some dried red fruits, which I don’t really find in the Nobilis very much - on my first try at least 🤔 Both very nice REVs, if you do enjoy this kind of dark and bitter profile.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
"Great REV! Dark, malty and complex. The fruit is not in the first place, but always accompanies the aromatics. One tastes the eight years of tropical storage in my opinion very well, thereby the barrel has worked well. Bitternotes are quite present, but not yet exaggerated. 2006 can definitely also what."
