Our Rum & Spirits Enmore MEV 1990
"This is Guyana I like," as one taster put it — and that captures it. A 1990 Enmore wooden-pot-still at 61% that hides its heat surprisingly well. Expect apricot and pineapple up front, then caramel, licorice, black tea, marzipan and cedar. Dry, thick-bodied, spicy on the swallow. Not the most complex Guyanese, but a lot to chew on for a long evening.
The community says- Well-hidden 61% ABV
- Apricot and marzipan
- But: Spicy heat on swallow

Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Dry, fruity old Enmore that hides its strength Members love how well-integrated the 61% feels — dry, fruity and woody without the oak getting heavy. Not hugely complex, but plenty to give. A real favorite here.

Review by Galli33
Very pleasant enmore. The alcohol is integrated very very well (61%!!). Is not a complex rum, but it has a lot to give. What I like a lot is that the long aging(barrel, oak taste) isn‘t that dominant as in other rums. Value for money = very good In the nose: it begins with some notes of licorice, minty, apricot, pineapple, vanilla, brown sugar, coffee and cedar wood (if you‘re a carpenter you‘ll notice it for sure). In the mouth: caramel, ok, licorice, black tea, peppery, marzipan, leather. Feeling: astrigend, dry, thick - full body Finish: oak (barrel), vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted and caramel.

Review by Jakob
Very fresh profile with fruit, wood and subtle spices. On the palate, green tea is added, moreover, the wood notes continue to develop elegantly and also bring subtle caramel, licorice and marzipan to light. Overall, the rum has something light, but without losing depth or complexity - on the contrary, the profile is complex and balanced. Great bottling.
Review by Harald
Farbe: Gold Geruch Riecht fruchtig aromatisch nach gelben Früchten, Ananas und Aprikose sowie Vanille und Sandelholz. Die Fruchtigkeit lässt mit der Zeit nach. Geschmack: Sehr süß, lecker und cremig. Würzig-holzig im Mund. Beim Schlucken dann eine Geschmackseplosion von Gewürz, Sandelholz und Karamellpuding. Zudem Aromen von Kaffee Creme und Toffee. Die Würzigkeit ist etwas scharf. Abgang: Mittellang Würzig scharf, trocken und holzig. Karamell im Nachgeschmack. 89 Punkte
