TRC Enmore Guyana Single Cask Rum REV REV 1994
A slow neat sipper, best given time in the glass to open up. Expect dried plum, dark chocolate, leather, tobacco and burnt cask, with a long, slightly bitter finish. Several tasters catch fresh blackcurrant lifting the dark, malty core. Most agree this REV sits near the top of the 1994 vintage — though a few feel the wood is pushing past its peak.
The community says- Rich dried fruit

Aggregated from 47 community reviews.
Deep, woody old Enmore with prune and leather One of the best-loved 1994 REVs here. Rich prune, chocolate, leather and spice with well-integrated alcohol. The catch: heavy wood and a bitter edge some find just past its prime.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Despite its advanced age, this Enmore delivers a most honorable performance. The nose develops dark, heavy aromas. There's lovely fruitiness on prune, plum, blackcurrant and raisin, but also woody notes accompanied by dark chocolate, coffee, walnut, leather and malty, spicy notes of licorice, pepper and cinnamon. Cola and molasses add sweetness, while black tea, floral and herbaceous notes add freshness. A complete and delightful olfactory profile. The palate is rich and opulent: prune, raisin and black tea are heavy, followed by ample notes of dark chocolate, coffee, ultra-dark wood with malt, leather, warm spices (licorice, chili, cinnamon) and roasted notes. Tobacco, herbal notes and burnt sugar only amplify this gourmet mouthfeel. The alcohol is superbly well integrated. The finish, however, is a little short and effete compared to other REVs, surely due to long and intense aging, showing the age limits of the REV profile. Overall, the same aromas are present, but with more bitterness and a drier finish. An extremely pleasant, rich and elegant rum, confirming the almost legendary status of Enmore 1994.
Review by Arnsen
Unterm Strich ein schöner Rum mit wirklich sehr gut eingebundenem Alkohol. Starke Aromen von geröstetem Malz, Bitterschokolade und leichte Noten von Trockenfrüchten. Für meinen Geschmack zuviel Holz, was aber nicht störend ist, sondern nur nicht so ganz mein Ding ist. Ich hatte bereits einen jüngeren Vertreter ebenfalls von The Rum Cask im Glas und war von diesem absolut begeistert. Das war quasi Pflaumenmus in flüssiger Form. Dieser Kandidat hier fällt dagegen leider ab. Und unter solchen Vorzeichen bin ich leider aufgrund meiner hohen Erwartungen etwas enttäuscht.
Review by cigares
A full, generous nose of salted butter caramel, yellow fruit, toffee and tobacco. The palate is a little stuck at first, but then everything picks up again, with salted butter caramel, leather, prunes, tobacco and dark chocolate. The fruit is more subdued than on the nose. The finish is long, with the same aromas. The empty glass offers vanilla, wood, smoke and some fruit. Apart from its generous nose, this rum seems stricter than I expected. Perhaps I should have let it wait even longer in my glass? Thank you Mirko for the sample.
Review by ilRummista
A very good 1994 Enmore REV. Rich, powerful nose, with chocolatey hints and lots of forest, especially currants. The palate is dense, and the roundness we find on the nose is even more evident. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is a great solo with very pleasant notes of bitter chocolate, brine and dates. I love Enmore 94s and this rum is definitely one of the best expressions of it even if one or two points lower than the next Enmore Rev 94 that will be bottled by Distilia and that I had the pleasure of tasting in preview.

#4464 11.11.2023 Enjoying a few samples before I have to give a tasting close to my home. Advantage is I can walk there and back really fast so I can participate as well. Ooooh, what a nice release. Intense and well balanced, what more can you ask for in this world. I knew this was going to be good, but it's really good. Medium fruity profile with an intense palate in good balance. Fruity with spices, wood and a light licorice touch. The palate is oily and kind of refreshing. The finish is long, intense and medium dry with chocolate raisins. Draws wonderful curtains in the glass. The empty glass has stronger chocolate and licorice as well as a light coffee note.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
"Blue hour" reinterpreted for a change: in a daring blind crosstasting with the now considered Unicorn REV 1994 from Wild Parrot (RX7680). Well, one glass content was more appealing on the nose and palate, deeper and more intense than the other, but both incredibly attractive, dark and malty. And when I looked under the glass after pre-labeling, the more appealing rum was the legendary WP. But - and now some may be disappointed or surprised - I perceived the differences to be minimal, the rums were hard to tell apart, especially olfactorily. Ultimately, only the longer, roastier finish of the WP tipped the scales to give it 1 point more than the TRC. One can see this assessment but also very positive: Both rums are absolute top class and the new TRC turns out to be a real stroke of luck, can play for me among the 94 REVs at the top. Congratulations! Update 2023-10-14 (Day after initial tasting): SAKRILEG! But it really is an empirical fact that the TRC keeps the great typical REV smell significantly longer and more intense in the emptied glass than the WP. And that is clearly worth me an upgrade of 1 point, so that now between the two compared REVs 1994 TRC and WP is equal - who would have thought that before! (There I was probably a bit hasty with my rating yesterday and should have done it like @Kevin - always also smell the emptied glass!) Blind Crosstasting definitely recommended to imitate, am curious about the impressions of others. 😉
Review by RumTaTa
Oh, that color in the glass alone, mahogany with red reflections! Nose: overwhelming! Ripe plums on the baking sheet reduced to thick mush with a hint of clove. No trace of alcohol far and wide. On the palate, the fruitiness recedes into the background and makes way for the spices and especially the barrel notes. In between I perceive a note like resin and herbs. The finish is very long and varied. The barrel notes are dominant, but leave enough room for dried fruits and spices and a slight bitterness. A wonderful rum for the colder season!
Review by Lukas Jäger
REV in the glass = REV in the whole room! What a scent that spreads from the glass over the entire room! Strong nose that delivers a surprising amount of blackcurrant for me! A REV that is rather on the fruity side, unlike some herbal bombs lately, and thus very pleasing to me! On the palate then neat dark, bitter-roasty and woody flavors, which unfortunately can not come up quite so intense-complex fruity. Seems to me the zenith in the barrel for REVs seems gradually passed. Great REV, but clearly nose >> palate, so it's not up to the REV top for me personally today.
Review by mto75
the Nobilis 94 Enmore REV / 28 yo competes against the TRC 94 Enmore REV / 29 yo. The higher ABV of the Nobilis is definitely noticeable, but not distracting. Both are nicely balanced, with the typical markers of dried fruit (prune), tobacco, malt, herbs. The TRC comes across a bit more red currant. Probably due to the higher ABV, the Nobilis still seems a bit more sweet-caramel, likewise on the palate. Both top, but the TRC I like (today) still a nuance better.
Review by Jakob
Great REV with a beautiful presence on the palate. The nose initially has the expected notes of prune and leather, but paired with a great fresh fruit note reminiscent of redcurrant. On the palate, in addition to prune, leather and barrel impressions, the alcohol is also recognizable, but this suits the rum well and brings out a pleasant intensity. All in all, a great release that doesn't have to hide in the wider field of 1994 REVs. Excellent!
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Kräuter, Holz, Tabaknoten, etwas Bleistift, eingebrannter Kaffee, Bitternoten. Der Rum braucht viel Zeit im Glas, um sich zu öffnen. Stark adstringierend, es zieht den ganzen Mund zusammen. Sehr spannender Rum, kein easy sippin, eher fast schon anstrengend. Mir persönlich war er zu lang im Fass und grenzwertig bitter, mit längerer Stehzeit weniger bitter. Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein.
Review by DomM
Very nice bottling again. However, I feel like we have surpassed the peak for the 94 REV vintage, looking at the latest releases. While this one is a good pick from TRC, it is very wood/leather/dark notes forwards missing out on the dried fruits which put some of the prior bottlings at the very top for me. That said: I‘d drink this one happily every day. :)
Review by Jarek
Sehr leckeres, typisches 1994er REV Profil. An der Nase recht fruchtig (Dörrpflaume) und röstig. Am Gaumen sind die Trockenfruchtnoten im Hintergrund, Röstaromen, Gewürze und Holz übernehmen. Länger hätte der Rum nicht im Fass bleiben dürfen, sonst wäre der Holzeinfluss ins Unangenehme umgeschlagen.
Review by Thunderbird
This is an excellent REV that fits in seamlessly with the 94s...and relatively far ahead. The high alcohol content transports the aromas perfectly. The wood influence is now clearly noticeable and this vintage should not be aged much longer! A great anniversary bottling from TRC, my highlight!
Review by Gigi Balestra
Another great REV. Nose is outstanding. On the palate, typical dark aromas - oak, prunes, herbs, leather, licorice. Bitterness is present but not pronounced. Alchohol integration is very good. Needs some time in glass to fully open up. Intense and challenging. 94/100
Review by Serge
Super REV 🤤 drank without direct comparison but found it very, very tasty. Either everything tastes good to me - because I've been drinking extremely little recently - or it's a blast 😂 I'll take the second half of the sample with me for a more active drinking time.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow, hervorragender Rum, echt klasse. Hat eine schön holzige Nase, in der man auch Malz riechen kann. Kommt dunkel rüber. Im Gaumen kommt dann noch leicht dunkle Schokolade, Leder, Mokka und Lakritze hinzu. Viel länger hätte er allerdings auch nicht lagern dürfen.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Great REV. In the nose dark dried fruits, leather, spicy but also associations of water ice, Japanese rice cakes and hay. Almost perfect balance in the mouth. Long finish with some burnt notes. A surprising amount of sweetness overall, which bothered me slightly.
Review by Lot-NAS
What a dram, sweet and spicy, balanced without any off-notes and just the right amount of wood. The alcohol is also integrated pretty well but I preferred it with a few (!) drops of water. Doing a re-visit with another sample, it even gets closer to 9.2.
Review by Buddudharma
Certainly a great rum, but for my taste already noticeably over the Zenith in terms of maturity, which manifests itself in a strong woodiness and a flavor nuance that reminds me a little of soy sauce. I like the somewhat younger bottlings a little better.
