Review by Johannes
Really top stuff! Can join the top REV league!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
On the nose, the rum comes so sweet-nosed and without any deterrent Alk appearance that children would drink it without hesitation - so be careful when children are around! 😉 I smell not only permanently dark red fruits, also like pickled in syrup (papaya), but in the meantime also dry coal dust. The latter impression solidifies on the palate: I taste concise pencil shavings (yet this is not PM! 😳)! Exciting, but unfortunately somewhat at the expense of the deep dark red fruitiness and the malt impression of the nose.Will only say that this rum is with me nose winner - and what a!Briefly a word to the one year younger REV brother: The is similar, but because of the lower ABV expectedly thinner and weaker on the chest.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Beautiful old Guyana rum. The fruit components really come through. Nevertheless, the heavy, dark flavors remain, which have a decent age in tow but are very, very well balanced due to the volume.
Review by mto75
joins the ranks of the great 94 REVs seamlessly. A similar profile to the RC Ed 22, with neat dried date, butterscotch and chocolate on the nose, perhaps a touch sweeter than the RC (without the direct comparison). The palate similar, but with more old barrel, mocha and leather, providing a pleasant counterpoint to the sweeter notes.
Review by Andi
An der Nase zunächst, würzig, röstig, Kaffee, Schokolade, getrocknete Früchte, sehr komplex. Am Gaumen dann sehr vollmundig, intensiv, getrocknete Früchte (Richtung Rosine), Tabak, röst Aromen und Kaffee.
Review by Basti
An der Nase neben vielen röstigen und würzigen Noten auch getrocknete Pflaume und Bleistiftspähne. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Am Gaumen dann genau das was man von einem 94er REV erwartet. Gefällt mir in Summe sehr gut!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Definitely on par with the predecessor 94 REV from Bellamys. Flavors a little more cassis, more burnt caramel, dark chocolate and rosemary / lavender, as well as dried fig and grapefruit peel. Also very tasty but really hard to say which one I like better!Flavor-wise this one is a bit more intense and has the longer finish due to the more %, but the other one is a bit more complex if you let it and has the nicer nose. Both at eye level!
Review by Oliver
Less intense nose than its predecessor. On the palate, however, the higher percentages do it very well. Relatively little herbs and licorice for a REV - I like!
Review by Frank
A nose to fall in love with: dark fruity, spicy and woody-roasted. The first thing you notice is pencil lead and pencil shavings. Then a pleasant vinegar note with a fine orange aroma. Slightly acidic, dried currant, cola. Very full-bodied with a hint of chocolate. Wonderfully full-bodied and complex on the palate. Spicy, roasted and woody. Here too, slight pencil shavings at the beginning, then dark malty, chocolaty-cocoa with a little aniseed and nutmeg. Dried oranges and dried plums meet brioche. Leather and tobacco on the back. Remains pleasantly woody, roasted and spicy in the finish. A great old Enmore. For me, as a Demerara fan, a real treat.
Review by Mike H.
This REV hits my sweet spot. It was an immense pleasure to smell and taste this Demerara and every time I sample such an exquisite rum I tell myself that Demerara rums are probably what I like the most along with the better Caronis. As is often the case with a great Demerara I could nose this rum for hours. Roasted, chocolate, leather, toffee, woody, delicate spices and extremely round. I get the same in the mouth, add some dried fruit and coffee and the result is a top bottling. I think that I’m in love. 😅
Review by Johannes B
Pure licorice
Review by Blockzeitwilli
Wunderbare Nase mit getrockneter Dattel, Karamell, etwas Bleistift und Schokolade an der Nase und eine leichte Süße. Am Gaumen kommen noch Mokka und Leder dazu. Wirklich tolle Komplexität. Gefällt mir ganz hervorragend.
Review by Thunderbird
For me not the strongest 94 Enmore! In my opinion, the wood notes predominate and suppress the other flavors that can be perceived behavior!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Cracked open the next 3 from my present. This is a really nice complex and well balanced rum from the famous Enmore still. Near perfect between roasted wood and the other elements. Price to quality is really good.
Review by Christoph
Krass wie sich der Bleistift in die Nase bohrt. Neben der Eiche eher auf der kräuterigen Seite.
