Rum Nation Versailles Demerara 1990
Most tasters clocked the port-cask finish before anything else — it wraps the old Versailles pot-still in prune, raisin and Demerara sugar, with leather and tobacco underneath. At 45% it drinks soft and creamy, almost sweet, and that's the sticking point: several would happily take a few more percent to let the Guyana DNA push through. Fruity, rounded, easy to sip.
The community says- Rich dried fruit
- Creamy rounded body

How does Rum Nation Versailles Demerara 1990 taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Soft, port-finished Versailles with sweet dried fruit Most rate it well — an elegant, sherry-sweetened take on Enmore 1990. A recurring note: the port finish softens the Versailles character, and a few wanted more proof behind it.

Community Tasting Enmore 1990 VSG/MEV als Blindverkostung. Rum4: Deutlich dunkler in Farbe als Rum 1-3. Nase schön dunkel Fruchtig mit Pflaume, Dörrpflaume und Rosinen mit Mandelnite. Geöltes Leder. Lakritze und vielleicht Portwein. Im Antrunk etwas dünn aber lecker. Evtl. etwas süß… nasses Finish vielleicht. Viel Beerenfrucht. Leider etwas zu süß im Mund.

Review by DomM
Cross Tastinge across 12 bottlings of 1990 Versialles destilled Enmores. Looking at the reduced bottlings (Alamein, RN, Moon). On the nose all can hold up predatory good with the higher ABv bottlings. The RN finis is well executed, while somewhat overwhelming the Versailles notes. Still nice. Alambic with a nice basket of continental fruits and Moon delivering all classic notes beautifully. On the palate all three are very approachable with RN‘s finish again being very noticeable and present - for me a bit too intense. Despite the reduction, the Alambic carries some sting while providing intensity. The Moon bottling adds quite some sweetness, yet also noctiable burnt notes in the background.
Review by cigares
Community Tasting Enmore 1990. No 4. Un rhum avec une couleur foncée, un nez de verni et de banane sur-mûre, de rôti, un peu décadent. Une attaque nette en bouche, pas diluée malgré l’ABV assez léger, des arômes disparates de cuir, de fruits. Un côté gourmand très agréable. Une finale longue, un peu amère, sucrée et heureusement avec une belle acidité. Le verre vide se révèle bien plus aromatique.
Review by MarcT
No4 of the 1990 Enmore Tasting, thanks to Alex Kunath. This is quite a fruity and light concoction, and I noticed the lower ABV immediately. This is, however, a case where this is not detrimental, I could easily imagine me sipping this casually, as it does not go all in with the Enmore DNA one gets with this bunch. Or, at least, the fruit is adding to the experience. I liked this one!
Review by Thunderbird
Blindtasting Enmore 1990 Nr.4: Diese Abfüllung sagt mir gar nicht zu. Zu Süß, zu Fruchtig, offensichtlich gefinished (Portwein). Von einem echten Enmore bleibt für mich nicht wirklich was essentiell übrig. Schade
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
13.01.2019 Nice and relaxing evening at home where I killed this bottle. Notes. Very dark in colour. Nose: fresh, wood, roasted, dried fruit, herbs, plum. Palate: light, wood, roasted, dried fruit, licorice, light leather. Finish: medium to long, wood, light smoke, dried and, caramel.

Guyana Tasting 1990 by Alex. Alle Rum sind 30 Minuten an der Luft gewesen, gleiches Recht für alle :-) Die Nr4 weicht nicht nur von der Farbe ab, sondern auch massiv an Nase und Gaumen. Schönes Teil. Holz, Nuss, Leder und schön trocken. Cremig und der Abgang ist nochmal richtig lecker.
Review by Mirco
RumX Blind Tasting 8x Enmore 1990 Rum Nr. 4 Leder, Pflaume und etwas Beeren. Durch das Finish ist die Abfüllung ziemlich süss. Zu süss für mich für eine höhere Bewertung. Besten Dank an Alex fürs organisieren!
Review by Jarek
RumX Community Tasting - Enmore 1990 (danke an Alex!) Wieder eine Abfüllung mit Finish, geht in die Richtung von Portwein. Schöne schwere ind fruchtige Nase, aber sm Gaumen etwas zu süß für neinen Geschmack.
Review by Johannes
