8.7/10

Cross Tastinge across 12 bottlings of 1990 Versialles destilled Enmores. As the youngest by far also coming with the highest ABV, the Cadenhead‘s is a different beast versus the 20y+ bottlings surely. But what a beast this is! Nose is intense with classic Versailles markers, cream brûlée and some grainy notes. This is significantly more engaging and exciting compared to any later destilled rather young VSG bottling I tried so far. Same goes for the palate. Creamy in texture with a fruity sweetness as well as herbs and the pencil shavings. I very positively surprise. Only downside: alcohol integration isn’t terrible but still far from perfect.

A young Versailles with the typical pencil note but at the same time a nice fruity sweetness. Really surprisingly good! Alcohol a bit borderline.

The typical pencil notes are very prominent here, surrounded by a pleasant sweetness. Not particularly complex, but all the more intense in the aromas of its simplicity. Very tasty. Almost an easy sipper with over 75% xD A very special rum, thanks Alex.

Avg Rating 8.8/10 over 210 Rums

Enmore gave the world the last wooden Coffey still, built here around 1880 and still running at Diamond. It is also one of only two Guyanese estates where you can actually buy rum distilled while the place was open: 17 vintages between 1962 and its closure in April 1994. On most Demerara pages that sentence is not true.
