Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Having been invited to a friends today for an early tasting of some of his demerara collection.
Review by Double Barrel
Everything fine and typical for an Enmore of this vintage until the finish where i can feel the wood a bit too much. A clear bitter and musty note (tannins, burnt sugar and wet wood) that you can get used to after the 3rd sip ;)
Review by Zorman 🇩🇰
This is so thick you have to chew it. Dark, musty where the many years in oak comes thru. Unfortunately the finish is too short.
Review by Oliver
Really tasty, mature Guyana Rum!Nice heavy, dark and intense. The drinking strength suits the rum well.
Review by lamb Dave
It should have been a comfortable strength, but it wasn't. little disappointed
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
On the nose we find plum, raisins, date ... It is not at all aggressive on the nose with its 46.5%, on the contrary it is very sweet. The nose is fruity and fresh but not only, because with aeration appears a heavier profile with notes of roasting, leather, wood ... The nose is undoubtedly attractive. In the mouth, it is creamy and less fruity than the nose, it is more woody and fat on the chocolate. We find some burned caramel. But a rather disturbing bitterness is present (bitter coffee, tannins ...). The finish is long on burned wood.
