What surprises most people is how sweet this reads for a cask-strength Demerara. From the EHP mark and the wooden Coffey still you get burnt caramel, vanilla, toasted coconut and a bit of oak, with an oily, syrupy mouthfeel. A few dried apricot and spice notes round it out. Not the most complex Enmore, but the alcohol sits well at 54.3%.
The community says- Burnt caramel, vanilla
- Oily mouthfeel
- But: Not very complex

If you like the beguiling notes of fresh oak with caramel and vanilla that so often accompany tropically aged Demeraras, you'll be right at home here. While there aren't too many other flavors to add to the flavor profile besides a few nuanced spice aromas and subtle dried fruits, this concentration and syrupy melt alone are simply fun for me as a Demerara lover and probably also give the bottling a subjective flavor bonus in the rating. No rum that would overwhelm on the basis of its complexity - instead simply seductively delicious at a high level.

Nose: Slight Burnt Caramel, a hint of vanilla, slight vegetal notes, lime juice, Dried Apricot Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel, Toasted Coconut, Vanilla Bean, black tea, dried apricot, faint lime Finish: Medium length finish, Burnt Caramel, Toasted Coconut, Vanilla, Black Tea, Lime, Dried Apricot Rating: 7/10 This is a great rum. Oily mouthfeel, good finish. It hits you in that dessert rum kind of mood with the caramel, vanilla, and coconut. Some of the savory elements bring it in. Tropically aged DDL is awesome and Im glad these are available in the US.

This is a very nice bottling and a well balanced one indeed. Love the round almost velvety profile with its fruity side well mixed with nuts, chocolate and nice caramel. This was the last one in the tasting and I'm happy we saved it for last. Not that it was a huge argument, because when you have cask finishes you want to start with those first 😊
Review by Oliver
Enmore in top form. Please more of this quality in the El Dorado series!
Review by abaker-rum
Overall a really good rum. I still lean Port Mourant as I think it has more complexity, but this is a really good classic molasses rum with vanilla, caramel, and a really good burnt sugar finish. There was a bit more alcohol vapor on the nose than I expected.
Review by Johannes
Hammer! Everything a good Guyana needs!
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
A souvenir from New York. Was a bargain there for under $120, unmatched. Why doesn't El Dorado offer this here?! The nose as you expect from a tropical Enmore: soft, sweetish, heavy caramel framed by chocolate and nut nougat. A hint of tobacco gives some depth. Had a Dictador in the glass with Stefan in parallel and blind, I couldn't distinguish the two by the nose. In the mouth, it becomes noticeably drier and rougher. A polish note and a whisky-like graininess (Ovomaltine) provide more edges. In the mouth, it clearly outperformed the Dictador. Although the Enmore is also a real column still, it brings more body than the usual Spaniards. The tannin-rich finish could be a bit longer. The sweet chocolate from the nose is very dark here > 80%. It reminds me so much of the 1996 Enmore that it has to settle for the same rating. Maybe there will be a rematch someday. A nice comparison would also be a 2001 SWR with this typical cappuccino-caramel note, that is certainly very similar.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Clearly better than the 40% version! Really nice, unusually sweet Enmore. Alcohol is perfectly integrated. Burnt caramel, vanilla, green pepper, raisin and dried apricot, a bit of coconut, cola and molasses, dark chocolate and nutmeg, and very subtle mint and allspice. I surprisingly like it a lot and it’s fun! Makes you want to pour yourself another glass right away! 😁🤤
Review by HenryL
Nordlichter Meeting 21.08.2026 Remarkably good rum. It’s not the most complex comparatively but incredibly smooth and tasty. Classic Guyana notes of wood, spice, and dried fruits. Very round and balanced with pleasant sweetness.
Review by kondgab
Caramel, vanilla and oak.
Review by Schnubbii
