Un très beau rhum de 33 ans à qui il faut laisser un temps d’aération. Des notes de fruits jaunes et de noix. Une très belle longueur en bouche et une finale très douce! Vraiment un très beau travail du maître de chais!
Review by Jakob
RumX Community Tasting with Rum Artesanal for the June 2023 Tasting Lottery: Crisp Versailles from 1990, great profile that is absolutely on a par with other bottlings from this vintage. Pencil shavings, aniseed, wood, dried apricot, subtle citrus notes - a little sweeter on the nose, then very balanced on the palate, dry and accentuated wood, spice and barrel notes. Great release.
Review by Oliver
Opens properly after an hour. More barrel influence than the Our Rum & Spirits. Nice apricot note which harmonizes with the typical pencil profile. Great 1990 Enmore. I like it very much!
Review by Tschusikowsky
Nice one👌🏼 Super balance, very harmonious rum. Fits from the nose to the finish.
Review by Frank
RumX Lottery June 23, RA online tasting. A beautiful 33 year old Versailles. I already tasted it at the 12th GRF, but today with a little more rest it comes into its own much better. Nose: intense, round and delicious. I like it very much. Pencil shavings and pencil lead are the first things that come to mind. Behind that a tart sweetness of molasses, licorice and slightly sour. Could also be wood acid. Dark roasted, but not too woody and bitter. A slight honey sweetness rounds off the finish. 8.7 Palate: intense and spicy. Again clearly pencil shavings in the foreground. Slightly bitter with treacle and liquorice. Sweetness from the fruit bread with this candied orange peel and candied lemon peel. Malty, roasted and herbal at the end. 8.5 Takes a while, but then has a very nice profile. The almost 60% are very well integrated. I really like this pencil aroma.

Generally, earthy like pu-erh with forest fruits on the nose and pallete as well. Quite likeable. :)
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
From the RumX sample set. Nose: herbal. Pinewood. Pencil shavings. Weirdly spiced. No idea what to think of this yet. Taste: dry. Old wood. Hay/malty tones. Not much fruit to discover. Complex. Different layers of spices. Hard to describe and I wish I had more than 2cl so I could try it on a later date again. For now...I do like it.
Review by Timo Groeger
Hier ein schöner Rum Artesanal von Heinz Eggert. Sehr fruchtig in der Nase, aber auch Anis und Kräuter sind zu riechen. Das meiste verfliegt dann am Gaumen, nur Kräuter und die Fruchtigkeit bestehend aus Aprikose bleibt. Des weiteren dann noch holzig.
Review by Mateusz
Very complex and fascinatingly developing flavour. Love this one!

Výborný, užil jsem si ho! Bohužel jsem měl příliš malý vzorek
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Tasted as part of the RA online tasting for the RumX lottery 06/2023. In the nose anise, pencil shavings, a slight sweetness, but above all fruit, herbs barely perceptible, reminds me surprisingly of the last Worthy Park of RA. Balanced on the palate, but here the herbal notes now come out and gain the upper hand over the fruit. I wonder if this is due to the one hundred percent continental aging. A fine dry rum, of which, however, one sample is enough for me.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Surprisingly relaxed Enmore with little bitterness. I would have expected more barrel influence with the long storage period. The alcohol is extremely well integrated. I like it very much. Many thanks to Oli and RA for the sample.
Review by Sebastian.W
A nice rum, but a bit too much licorice for my taste.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Very spicy and powerful taste, with fruity notes of apricot, notes of leather and herbs - no sweetness that could be expressed here - The aftertaste is long and dry with spice. I would like to express my gratitude to Rum Artesanal for the flavor sets 🙏🏻
