Distilia Enmore (Versailles) Greenheart REV 1994
The pencil-shaving note is what catches people off guard here — that classic Versailles wooden-still signature sits right alongside deep dried plum, tobacco, leather and dark chocolate. This 1994 REV drinks dark and savoury, with wood and gentle bitterness balanced by dried fruit. Several tasters call the 50.2% a touch soft for the style, but almost nobody minds — the alcohol is beautifully tucked away.
The community says- Deep dried plum
- Beautifully balanced
- Alcohol well hidden

How does Distilia Enmore (Versailles) Greenheart REV 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 67 community reviews.
Dark, woody old Versailles with dried plum One of the loved 1994 REV bottlings — dark, woody, plummy and remarkably balanced, with the alcohol barely showing. A few wanted more power at this proof, and the pencil note isn't for everyone.

Review by Felix Reiber
Ach wie gut diese alten REVs doch sind ! Wahnsinns Nase mit Dörrpflaume, Karamell, Kräutern, Tabak, Leder, Cola und Schokolade. Schöne Würze mit Holz und nicht zu knapp tolle Noten von Lakritze. Ein tolles Geruchserlebnis. Am Gaumen wunderbar aromatisch und würzig. Tabak, dunkle Schokolade, Dörrpflaume, Lakritze, Trockenfrüchte und gebrannter Zucker mit einer dunklen, röstigen Note. Dann Kräuter, Bleistift und etwas blumiges. Sehr ausgewogen und harmonisch. Der lange Abgang weiß bei einer tollen Komplexität mit Würze, Tabak, Schokolade, Dörrpflaume, Lakritze und Kaffee zu überzeugen. Dann klingt er langsam mit Leder, Schwarztee, Bleistift und geröstetem Holz aus. Ich bin hellauf begeistert ! Danke an @Gunnar Böhme für das Sample 😀
Review by bur2000
An der Nase zunächst ein richtig schön intensives Aroma von Dörrpflaumen. Dann erinnert es mich an die leeren Zigarrenschachteln, die ich früher von meinem Onkel bekommen habe. Außerdem etwas süßliches, ein bisschen pflanzliches. Man denkt an ein Kolonialwarenhaus mit Tabak, Fässern. Wirklich toll und der Alkohol hält sich sehr zurück. Der Geschmack hält dann was die Nase verspricht. Kräftig, würzig, der Tabak scheint durch, sogar eine leichte Süße - soll allerdings keinen Zucker enthalten. Dazu eine kräftige Dosis Bleistift. Zum Abgang hin kamen noch überreife Früchte hinzu, das war unerwartet. Der Abgang an sich ist teilweise bitter, hat wieder die Tabaknoten und interessanterweise tropische Früchte, Richtung überreife Mango die sich lange halten. Gefällt mir sehr gut, von der Nase bis zum Abgang. Stets interessante Aromen, mit jedem Schluck entdeckt man etwas anderes. Der Alkohol ist unauffällig und bestens integriert. Ein Tropfen Wasser ins leere Glas erzeugt übrigens eine heftige Wolke Tabakduft... #18:250119
Review by Jarek
REV tasting of the Franconian Tasting Gang November 2024: A total of five REVs from 1994 were poured, the three bottlings from The Rum Cask, the Nobilis and Distilia Greenheart. At 27 years old, the youngest TRC still delivers the best performance for me, with very nice dry fruit notes on the nose. Its slightly older brothers are a little less fruity, but more spicy and toasty. The Nobilis has the most herbal notes of the five. The Distilia is also beautifully fruity on the nose, but quite sweet and a little thin on the palate.
Review by Jakob
Great cinema. Prune meets a full load of leather. Plus licorice and green tobacco notes, but also toasty wood and mineral notes that briefly remind the palate of the typical Versailles pencil shavings. In the finish, long-lasting, gentle bitterness from the leather, spice and wood flavors, which are given an almost aesthetic counterpoint by the dried fruit - because the often present heavy sweetness of the dried fruit flavors remains gallantly restrained here at first, before it takes its due space again in the finish. Even among the now numerous 1994 REVs a successful addition at the top of the spectrum.
Review by Frank
A little comparison of two, 28yo REV... that will be nice 🥰. Here the first, from Distilia:Nose: totally round! Complex and intense. A real nose-pleaser. Strong spicy, dark and toasty aromas with lots of molasses and licorice, plus light maggi and dark, fragrant sandalwood. Alongside dried fruit, like apricot, plum and tart blackcurrant. Also neat polish and pencil shavings I find, as well as fine herbs. Just very good. 9.2Palate: deliciously complex and round. But also distinct but pleasantly bitter. Very woody-malty-roasty, cedary. Lots of tart molasses but with less licorice. Instead, again distinct and more pencil shavings. Some subtle dried plum and dried apricot. Instead, more burnt caramel and mocha. Also on the palate light herbs and cereals.In the finish remains the pleasantly bitter woodiness with molasses and plum. ABV also fits quite nicely. 9.2Super REV. Noble and expensive.
Review by Chrischi78
Dieser Rum bringt eine tiefe Komplexität mit, die von dunklen Früchten, feiner Würze und einer angenehmen Holznote getragen wird. Dabei bleibt er stets elegant und harmonisch, mit einer leicht öligen Textur, die den Gaumen umschmeichelt. Dieses gewisse Extra ist deutlich spürbar – ein Rum, der perfekt in die dunkle Jahreszeit passt. Ein prasselndes Kaninfeuer dazu ist geradezu optimal. Gerade noch rechtzeitig vor dem Frühlingsdurchbruch getestet. Danke an Gunnar für das Sample.
Review by Mopar Rules
a bit fishy on the nose on a first impression 🐟seeweed, salt, wood, very herbal, not really fruity but quite complex, even more after resting a while in the glas. Now there are the dried fruits and as well the red fruits, dried cherries and goji berries. Complex as well on the palate, with the influence of the cask being more dominant over dried fruits, dark chocolate and burned caramel, orchestrated to a very harmonic rum. It doesn’t have to have a Velier badge on it.
Review by Schnubbii
Der Rum durfte 1h atmen. Tolle, würzige Nase mit etwas Sauerkirsche und Trockenfrüchten. Am Gaumen wunderbar rund mit Aromen von Sauerkirsche, Holz, edlen Gewürzen, vielleicht etwas Cassis. Der Alkohol ist unglaublich gut eingebunden. Ein, zwei Tropfen Wasser sind nicht nötig, tun ihm aber gut. Die Aromen klingen im Abgang langsam ab und zurück bleiben leicht Tannine und Sauerkirsche. Wirklich ein toller Rum!
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Enmore - drive destilerka, nyni uz jen funkcni destilacni zarizeni. Patrne jedine drevene destilacni zarizeni na svete, ktere se tesi velke oblibe. Rumy Enmore totiz maji prichut popelu, kuze, tezkeho dreva, coz nadchne zejmena milovniky nakourenych whisky. A pokud tradicnim Guyanskym zpusobem prida vyrobce do rumu trochu melasy, mate v lahvi unikatni velmi vyrazny a tezky rum. Jeden z mych oblibenych.
Review by Werni
Wow, what an intense heavy nose, a drought plum in a cola glass on a flower meadow with fine herbs in between. Could sniff it forever. Also in the mouth very intense, the drought plum pulls through to the end, in addition noble wood, spice and a fine sweet / bitter note. Absolutely class. Guyana is and remains my favorite. Thank you dür this wonderful gift. 😘😉

REV-1994-Tasting on 12.10.2024 Here is my ranking (nose and palate impressions were each given a 50% weighting in the overall rating, in the event of a tie the length of the finish was decisive, as was the case with ranks 1-3, which were incredibly close together): 1ST RX12425 2ND RX121 3. RX11107 4. RX21851 5. RX12203 6. 11402 Attention, daily form should not be underestimated!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very interesting rev profile compared to what I'm used to. Violet meets reduced cola, meets licorice, sea salt dark chocolate and molasses, as well as pencil shavings and light anise and coffee notes, as well as rotten wood and tobacco. Overall me too pencil...Not quite mine but still exciting!
Review by Serge
For the most delicious of the three tasted REVs (tasted with Rum Cask and RA). Has convinced over the complete breathing time in the glass as well as in the mouth the most. Wonderfully integrated into a heavy sweetness aroma. Fair to say: the other two bottles were open significantly longer.
Review by Andi
Ja wie fange ich an, wirklich ein hervorragender Tropfen. In der Nase Leder, Pflaume, Holz, Kräuter, Würzig und eine Cola Note. Am Gaumen dann richtig schön dunkel, Dörrpflaume, Holz, Tabak, eine leichte Bitterkeit, etwas röstiges und Bleistiftspähne. Einfach hervorragend! Exzellent!
Review by Master P
Very tasty REV. Incredibly round and beautiful plum notes on the nose. I like the fruitiness and the pleasant sweetness. Nice herbal flavor and notes of extremely dark chocolate with dried fruit and leather. Could do with a bit more oomph, but very tasty.
Review by DomM
Excellent stuff - top notch bottling of the 94 REVs vintage imho. Delivers on dark, woody, herbal and fruity notes on the nose as well as on the palate. My only critic here is the relatively low proof, which manifests in a bit less power on the palate versus other bottlings.
Review by Agricoler
Small REV tasting. Very tasty REV. Incredibly round and beautiful plum notes on the nose. I like the fruitiness and the polish. Nice herbal flavor and notes of extremely dark chocolate with dried fruit and leather. The finish is incredibly long.
