Romdeluxe Enmore Wild Series Rum No. 27 (batch 1) MEV 1990
Sip this one slowly and neat — it's a 31-year-old Enmore from the wooden Versailles still, and it drinks dry and woody. Pencil shavings and licorice on the nose, then herbs, tea, roasted notes and dried apricot on the palate. Several tasters loved the intensity; a couple found it "too herbal" and slightly hot. Big, austere, not for cola.
The community says- Deep woody complexity
- Pencil-licorice character
- But: Very herbal

Aggregated from 28 community reviews.
Dry, woody old Enmore with pencil and licorice Loved for its classic Versailles pencil-and-licorice profile and depth, though a few found it too herbal and the alcohol not fully integrated. A dry, woody old-timer.

Community Tasting Enmore 1990. No 3. Du vieux bois verni au premier nez puis, au second plan de la fraîcheur végétale (menthol) et des fruits tropicaux. Le bois domine avec pas mal d’astringence qui recouvre tout et rend ce rhum austère et strict. La finale est moyennement longue avec une belle persistance des notes amères. Un rhum affirmé, très boisé et je comprends qu’il puisse déplaire. Mais il me plaît sans pour autant m’enthousiasmer. On se sent dans un trois mâts qui vogue à l’aventure.

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! 🙌

Community Tasting Enmore 1990 VSG/MEV als Blindverkostung. An der Nase deutlich fruchtiger als Rum 1&2 … sogar etwas floral. Am Gaumen eher Holz, Lakritze, Röstnoten und Kräuter. Für mich etwas zu kräuterlastig aber von der Intensität bis jetzt der Beste. Verkostet wurden: Rum1 = 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 Mein Ranking: 8 > 7 = 5 > 6 = 3 > 4 = 2 > 1
Review by Jakob
Similar to the second batch, it offers a blend of dried apricot, toffee, the slightly metallic minerality of the typical pencil shavings notes, as well as spices of licorice, pepper, aniseed, wood... aromatically complex, slightly drier at the back than Batch 2. With its pointed finish, it is just ahead of Batch 2 in my estimation, but this can also be the other way round depending on individual taste. Either way, both rums are convincing and are at a high level.

When nosing this rum it was the smell of my old friends wood workshop. An intense, well balanced and complex rum with nice deep dark flavours. The wood is heavy in a good way and the light fruit and vanilla compensates for it really well. I like the nice clear licorice in there as well. A great rum with even greater history. This rum was made in the original destillery before it was closed down 😊

Guayan Tasting 1990 by Alex. Alle Rum sind 30 Minuten an der Luft gewesen, gleiches Recht für alle :-) Die Nr3 kommt an der Nase deutlich eleganter her, mit Nuss und Leder Aromatik. Am Gaumrn ist davon leider nicht ganz soviel zu merken. Der Alkohol ist wieder am Start, aber weniger als bei 1 und 2. dafür kein so langer Abgang.
Review by zabo
Another one from the Enmore Megasplit by Alex. But somehow I still can't really get to grips with this profile. It's all too licorice and herbal for me. We'll see when I taste the others whether it becomes more accessible for me. Conclusion now, not bad but not my thing.
Review by Thunderbird
Enmore 1990 Blindtasting Nr.3: Das ist eine sehr gelungene Abfüllung mit reichlich Aromen und schönem Wechselspiel zwischen Nase und Gaumen. Ist an der Nase eine schöne Fruchtigkeit, erscheinen am Gaumen angenehme Gewürze und Holz. Bei mir ist diese Abfüllung auf Platz 3 von 8
Review by Mirco
RumX Blind Tasting 8x Enmore 1990 Rum Nr. 3 Auch hier wieder ein Vertreter des typischen Profils. Mirabellen, Birne sowie Lakrize am Abgang. Auch schöne (nicht bitterer) Tee ist zu finden. Besten Dank an Alex fürs organisieren!
Review by Jarek
RumX Community Tasting - Enmore 1990 (danke an Alex!) Schön fruchtig an der Nase, dazu schöne Kräuternoten. Gaumen wird noch mehr von den Kräutern und pflanzlichen Noten dominiert. Gefällt mir sehrt gut.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Nose a bit closed up, quite intense in wood, a bit metallic, some yellow fruit, a bit minty. I find it a bit sharp in alcohol. Might be too inexperienced to fully appreciate.
