Distilia Enmore Floral Rum Series Victoria Amazonica (Catawiki) REV 1994
The kind of Enmore that wins blind flights — one member even called it their new benchmark over an old favourite. Deep prune and dried fig sit against old leather, dark chocolate and licorice, with the single-wooden-still oak present but never taking over. At 51.8% the alcohol is beautifully integrated; give it an hour open and the roasted, chocolatey side really unfolds. Heavy, dark, and rewarding.
The community says- Prune and leather depth

How does Distilia Enmore Floral Rum Series Victoria Amazonica (Catawiki) REV 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 64 community reviews.
Deep, woody Enmore with prune and dark chocolate Near-unanimous acclaim — heavy, complex, and wonderfully balanced, one of the standout 1994 Enmores here. A couple find the oak tips into bitterness late; most don't mind.

Review by Mirco
Powerful and complex bottling with the typical deep sweetness and intense fruit notes, primarily ripe plum. The wood is present, giving structure but remains well integrated. A prime example of the REV style from 1994, impressive without exaggeration.
Review by Jakob

The REVs actually continue to gain with increasing age. Compared to other releases a little less intense on the characteristic dried plum aroma, but with much more aromatic complexity by very present, but not exuberant wood influence, a slight floral impact and gallant spicy notes, which put the heavy sweetness a very appealing counterpart. Excellent release.

Ein Rum, der mich zwiegespalten hinterlässt: Tolles cremiges Mundgefühl mit viel Pflaume, im Abgang mir aber viel zu bitter, auch wenn diese dann verfliegt und im Nachgang dann wieder die Pflaume da ist. Mir persönlich war er zu lange im Fass,

#4175 When you do things then do the right and in my mind Distilia hit the nail with this one. We also sampled a future release and it was a tad better than this one actuly. Lovely profile with very good balance between the roasted wood and fruits. ABV super well integrated and a warm palate with an even longer finish.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Enmore lourd et sombre aux puissants arômes torréfiés, boisés et épicés. cacao, chêne, cuir et réglisse forment un corps profond et structuré. Les fruits secs arrondissent les angles, tandis que le parfum des fleurs et les notes herbacées sur le thym ajoutent de la profondeur et de la complexité. Un profil qui extasie les narines. En bouche, les années de vieillissement laisse paraître un rhum ultra sombre et boisé, dominé par des notes amères de cacao, des tanins, des épices chaleureuses et le vieux cuir, le tout sur un fond de notes rôties et fumées. Les fruits secs sont éclipsés, tandis que les notes florales et les herbes aromatiques peinent à se faire une place. L’alcool est très bien intégré dans ce profil élégant, puissant et marqué par le vieillissement. La finale revient sur de puissantes notes fumées et rôties partant sur le sucre brûlé, avec des tanins, une flopée d’épices et un boisé sec et intense. Chocolat, cuir et réglisse amplifient l’amertume soutenue les tanins. Les notes florales et fruitées montrent le bout de leur nez avec un peu plus de vivacité également. Un rhum délicieux, mais aussi très belle sélection de Distilia.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Excellent REV. Proportionately powerful, beautiful complexity, top balance between the woody notes from the maturation and the diverse fruit notes. Tropical fruits, also raisins and plums, slightly smoky toasted, spices such as mace and subtle cardamom. Great! Crosstasting 2025 - Guyana REV 1994 Vintage After ten tastings, we can say that you can't go wrong with REV 1994. The vintage stands for consistently high quality and is a real flagship for Guyana rum. Versatile, deep and full of character. The basic markers (plum, leather, licorice, dark chocolate and black tea) can be found in varying degrees in all bottlings. Conclusion: The REV 1994 vintage shows the range of Demerara rum: from creamy-sweet to smoky-roasted to complex-dry. Despite the different styles of the bottlers, the core remains clearly recognizable. An outstanding year that demonstrates great class. However, the tasting was challenging, as the roasted aromas dominated the bouquet over time and I had to take breaks to appreciate the subtle differences. Distilia REV 1994 A noble and complex profile. Classic markers with floral notes and distinct chocolate. Caramel sweetness and creamy texture, contrasting with toasty-malty accents. Multi-layered and elegant - happens a lot in the mouth.

Review by LukaŽiga
9,2:On the nose, the first impression is top, with wood perfectly pairing fruits, as we have variety of brown roasted wood notes like leather, Cola, dark chocolate, coffee and roasted nuts in perfect balance with red and dried fruits, especially prunes. On aeration, caramelized notes, cocoa might be recognized, some spice with vanilla, citrus fruits and after long rest, tannins and flowery molasses. 8,8:On the palate, the attack is tasty with roasted wood notes, smoky, creamy with caramel, walnuts, leather, quite spicy, fruity with prunes, dried figs, slightly tannic and herbaceous. On oxidation, more fruits arise with citrus, raisins and grapes,flowery molasses, slightly dark with licorice and a hint of sap.We could notice strong oak presence, burnt, the chocolate is very dark. 8,9:The finish is long, dry and tannic, slightly metallic, strong barrel touch, with notes from the palate lingering on and a very delicious caramelized Demerara sugar, herbaceous molasses. Edit:6.2.26
Review by Jarek
In der Nase wieder ein toller 1994er REV. Am Gaumen zunächst auch sehr lecker, aber dann mit einer Holzigkeit die ins Bittere überschlägt. Im Abgang wieder für meinen Geschmack zu viel Holz und im Hintergrund eine leichte Veilchen-Note die ich bei fast allen REVs als störend empfinde. Insgesamt finde ich den Rum etwas schlechter als die bisher verkosteten REVs, da am Gaumen bis auf den Holzeinfluss weniger intensiv. Nachtrag: Heute nochmals den Rum verkostet und ich muss die Bewertung nach oben korrigieren. Erstens habe ich das Profil inzwischen zu lieben gelernt und zweitens empfinde ich jetzt den Holzeinfuss als angemessen.
Review by cigares
The nose is heavy and deep, with varnished wood, old worn leather and smokiness, as well as hints of bitter herbs. The palate, after the burn of alcohol, appears without heaviness, almost with freshness, no doubt thanks to the bitter herbs. The finish is super-long and harmonious. A great rum! The alcohol is slightly burning, but I'm quibbling. Like a taste of licorice on the finish. A Versailles with notes of bitter herbs and pencil lead on the finish.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Lecker aber wirkt etwas "verbrannt"
Review by DomM
Very nice on the nose! Compared to other bottlings this one feels almost „sweet“ showing a very nice balance between fruity and dark, woody notes. While the nose is exceptional, palate is also very nice and ahead of some of other (later) 94 REV bottlings. Howver, for me it is not quite the very top notch bottling I expected from the nose. Still very nice though - no doubt.
Review by Serge
Very cool REV ... I'm glad I saved this one from the rarities tasting in August ... now is the better time of year for REVs after all This one is at a very high level and tastes really good to me. Not a plum bomb but rich in everything else. Intense and heavy, as it should be, but still fresh and floral. In comparison, probably the best REV I have tasted.
Review by zabo
A very fine drop! Once again an absolute REV grenade. I like this REV profile better from time to time. Alcohol super integrated. I gave it just under an hour in a covered glass and it was hard to wait, but it was absolutely worth it.
Review by Skyfly
Absolutely brilliant and heavy REV. The combination of woody, roasted and nutty aromas with dried fruits such as plums accompanies you from start to finish. Alcohol could not be better integrated. An absolute treat for the palate :)
Review by Thunderbird
A very intense REV that can sweeten your evening
