In a big blind lineup of 1990 Versailles Enmores, this one kept coming out on top for a lot of tasters — "my winner" shows up again and again. Expect pencil shavings, licorice, leather and black tea, with dried plum and yellow fruit softening it. Dry and elegant, and one member found the alcohol well integrated with no water needed.
The community says- Very balanced
- Complex, layered
- Keep in mind: Shy, slow nose

Review by Johannes
Extremely good Versailles with a nice marzipan note! Blind Tasting Enmore 1990 by Alex: Quite perfect, intense on the palate, nice complexity.
Review by zabo
Just retasted the last 5 Enmores from Alex's cool split. All from the same vintage and quite similar in profile, though there are definitely some differences in my opinion. My conclusion: not bad, but the profile just isn't really grabbing me right now.
Review by Mirco
RumX Blind Tasting 8x Enmore 1990 Rum No. 8 For me, the winner of the tasting. Round and complex with a classic profile. Wood, leather, and fruit components with a hint of orange blossom. Many thanks to Alex for organizing!
Review by Thunderbird
Enmore 1990 Blind tasting No.8: This is my 2nd place out of 8 in the blind tasting. Just behind number 5. In terms of complexity, it is very similar to number 3, but overall a bit more balanced. I like it a lot.
Review by DomM
Cross Tastinge across 12 bottlings of 1990 Versialles destilled Enmores. Looking at the cask strength / 50%+ ABV bottlings in the line up (CG, DT, Duchess, Greenheart I & II, RdL, Sponge, TWJ), all deliver on the classic Versailles notes: Pencil, herbs/anis, some continental fruits and a wet/moldy woodiness. Quality wise I don’t see an outlier tbh, all very enjoyable. Noticeable, however, is a very intense nose on the Sponge, which adds lots of resin and „woody“ notes to the mix,probably paying tribute to its (partly) maturation in wine casks. This is clearly outstanding out of the batch. Bonus points for the older Greenheart and TWJ for highest intensity on the (continental) fruit notes for me. DT and The Duchess gravitating more towards spicy notes in the mix. Same overall verdict for the palate. All rums in the batch are of high quality and there is no dramatic outlier (good or bad), except for the Rum Sponge. While I enjoyed the nose, on the palate the bottling is overwhelmed by wine notes. As for a lot of finished/double matured releases I just don’t see the point and here don’t like it particularly. Among the other bottlings: the DT is particularly nicely balanced with a pleasant sweetness working nicely with herbal and more darker notes. Very enjoyable. My favorite on the palate is probably the younger Greenheart (at least in this sitting). Almost as balanced as the DT but with a bit more anise and herbal notes for a bit more excitement. The older Greenheart is also very nice, with a bit less sweetness yet also very nicely balanced. TWJ and The Duchess are overall a bit more in the harsher side concerning alcohol integration, yet still very good. Very strong bottlings of the vinatage overall and a pleasure to have some side by side. Cheers to Alex for curating (most of) the tasting set! 🙌

I got a pre-birthday present from my wife with 25 highend samples and it made me very happy 😊 This is a lovely Versailles. First off really good and no water needed ro release all those yummy flavours. Lightly fruity with nice wood and spices. Nice and dry on the palate.
Review by Serge
Community Tasting Enmore 1990 VSG/MEV as a blind tasting. Rum 8 Classic notes on the nose and palate and very tasty.

Tasted were: Rum 1 = rx1560 Alambic Classic Rum 2 = rx3280 Cave Guildive Rum 3 = rx12797 RDL Rum 4 = rx 1432 Rum Nation Rum 5 = rx 5924 Duncan Taylor Rum 6 = rx 5423 Moon Import Rum 7 = rx 17311 Rum Sponge Rum 8 = rx 12427 Greenheart My ranking: 8 > 7 = 5 > 6 = 3 > 4 = 2 > 1
Review by cigares
Community Tasting Enmore 1990. No. 8. A fruity, pastry nose, different from other Enmore. Kumquat and candied fruit. On the palate, there are pastry, fruit and herbs. Wood does not dominate here. It reminds me of No 1 for its finesse and balance, but has more complexity. The finish is rather long and balanced all the way through.
Review by Skyfly
An extremely good Enmore that is incredibly complex from nose to finish. The aromas of licorice, dried fruits - especially dried plum - black tea, and various spices run consistently throughout. Additionally, many nuances like mint, leather, and juniper.
Review by Timo Groeger
We've got a really awesome Enmore here. It has everything you expect, it's fairly woody, but you can also detect licorice and leather, plus there are pencil shavings and herbs noticeable as well.
Review by Jarek
RumX Community Tasting - Enmore 1990 (thanks to Alex!) I like this one very much. Very balanced and classic, nicely fruity on the nose, herbs and tea on the palate. Spicy-woody finish with tea notes.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Assurément un des plus beaux représentants des Enmore 1990. Le nez est maîtrisé, offrant un bon compromis entre intensité aromatique et délicatesse. On a un beau mélange entre les épices (anis, réglisse, poivre, piment, vanille), le boisé rôti, le cuir, les notes herbacées (thé, herbes aromatiques, feuilles de tabac) et des fruits plutôt exotiques pour le style (fruits jaunes, agrumes sur les zestes de citron). L’ensemble est très homogène et agréable à sentir, un régal. On retrouve en bouche un rhum tonique, expressif mais encore une fois d’une grande élégance. Le côté végétal sur les copeaux de crayon, le thé et le tabac apporte une fraîcheur bienvenue qui équilibre face à la déferlante d’épices « enmorienne » décrite au nez. Les notes sombres (café, cuir, rôti) et le boisé se mêlent aux fruits (zestes de citron et raisins secs) pour un mélange des plus stables. L’alcool est perceptible mais bien intégré dans sa globalité. La finale est longue et fait parler des arômes plus tanniques et sombres, notamment sur le caramel brûlé et la mélasse, mais aussi les épices, le bois, le cuir et le café. Le côté fumé ressort bien en opposition avec le souffle mentholé qui ressort à la toute fin. L’ensemble est sec mais on sent une forme d’harmonie parmi les arômes, où les transitions sont parfaites. Un superbe bijou qui fait office de porte-étendard pour son Millésime.
Review by Manuel
Delayed evaluation of the Enmore 1990 RumXCommunity Tasting. Solid rum that is more on the dry side with strong herbal and tea influences. Also slight influences of the cask and vanilla.
Review by Jakob
A fabulous Enmore-Versailles with impressive aromatic depth. First with dry pencil shavings, leather, licorice; then pleasant dried fruit notes open up, bringing an elegant sweetness. The flavor profile is flanked by tart spices and wood aromas, which bring subtle vanilla and caramel notes. Great release and an exquisite Versailles.
Review by Jack M
Delicious. Lighter in colour and taste than the 28yr. Smooth and round. Leading with caramel flavours still.
Review by MarcT
No8 of the 1990 Enmore Tasting, thanks to Alex Kunath. This one was one of my favorites, while the nose (which is true for all of those) takes its time and is often a bit shy the tongue here got fruit and herbs added tobthe typical Enmore taste that lingered a while. Shame the sample was so small.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Enmore - drive distiller, now just a functional distillation device. Apparently the only wooden still in the world which is very popular. The Enmore rums have a flavour of ash, leather, heavy wood, which will delight especially the lovers of whiskey. And if in the traditional Guyanese way the producer adds a little molasses to the rum, you have a unique very distinctive and heavy rum in the bottle. One of my favourites.
Review by F.L.O.
Guyana Tasting 1990 by Alex. All rums have been in the air for 30 minutes, equal rights for all :-) Last but not least, No. 8 and my tasting winner. It contains all the notes of 1-6, but also the rough edges that I missed before. A little more complex and interesting. It's fun.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Beautiful, soft and long Versailles. Everything I love about Guyana is here in one.

Review by Richard Krupa
Lots of pepper and anise
Review by Buddudharma
For me, one of the best and most balanced in the series.
Review by Adrianv
Very good MEV, lot of herbs, marcipan, mint, pepper, caramel, wood, leather, glue, smoked nuts, some bitterness all in harmony. Those who like old Versailles style would be pleased.
