Enmore Flensburg Rum Company Guyana MEC 1992
Pencil shavings fried in coconut butter, fresh paint, prunes, cedar and burnt caramel — this 27-year Enmore from 1992 goes deep and dark rather than fruity. Coffee, cocoa, leather and tobacco pile up, and at 59.8% the alcohol sits surprisingly well. The recurring note is a caramel bitterness in the finish that most love and a few find borderline. Heavy, oily, unmistakably Demerara.
The community says- Deep Demerara character
- Alcohol well integrated
- Keep in mind: Borderline bitter finish

From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dark, woody Enmore with a bitter edge Deeply loved as a dark, spicy Guyana. Coffee, prune, cedar and tobacco over a well-tamed 59.8%. The only recurring gripe: a bitterness in the finish some call borderline.

Review by Johannes
Very good MEC with borderline bitterness in the finish. I like it better and better with time! Beautiful complexity!
Review by Jakob
Absolutely lovable on the nose - Guyana essence with great depth. On the palate and finish, not quite on the same level, as it lacks a touch of complexity for the highest honors. In direct comparison with other Enmores from 1992, it's also on the somewhat more unruly side, a bit spicier and more intense on the finish. Nevertheless, it is situated at a remarkable quality level. Enmore from 1992 is and remains impressive.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
The best dark Demerara I know. The dark caramel coloration is heavy on the rum: treacle, burnt sugar and charred barrel. Next to that is rum turned prunes with gravy, some coffee, cocoa and always a slight vegetalness in between that hits the mouth as lightly perfumed pipe tobacco and turns to eucalyptus on the finish. The alcohol is fantastically integrated. On the finish, the bitterness of the caramel is a bit too present for me, but otherwise close to Demerara perfection for my taste.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
29.11.2025 Retasting at Whisky Watcher in Odense. ---------- This one is very similar to its older relative and I like this one as well. The nose is well balanced and intense with spices, dried fruit caramel /toffee and a hint of coffee and polish. The palate is intense and spicy with dried fruit and chocolate followed by roasted oak and tobacco. The finish is long and slightly bitter with a spicy and herbal touch.
Review by Thomas Wille
One of my first rums that I was allowed to taste. Still really gets me. Nice
Review by Serge
Beautifully complex Versailles, which develops from nose and first sip with fruitiness, leather, cocoa and burnt sugar nicely into a very fine bitter note. If you like it a bit more bitter (not too bitter, it is really still within limits), you will appreciate this Versailles. Glad to have ordered this sample too 👌
Review by Thunderbird
Oh yes, that's really good! From the palate to the finish a full taste experience! He offers exactly the flavor profile, which one expects at the age and mark! Also the barrel impact I think still well justifiable!Very tasty!
Review by Frank
What a beautiful, intense nose. Spicy, old cedar or even better: ancient, resinous wood attic. Mocha with a bit of chocolate and a cream candy. Very brown and sweetish. And something artificial like soap and polish. Dried orange and raisin in addition. A wonderful spicy toasty wood note prevails on the palate as well, very dark, like cedar. Powerful and intense. Something dried, most likely prune. Tobacco, leather and wood acidity. Mocha itself on palate.In the finish leather tea, if's there would be...Find the just good!!! Even after the second time of tasting.
Review by cigares
A typical Enmore nose with old varnished wood, prunes, dried fruits, and leather. But also freshness with dry herbs, menthol, and a polish side. The wood is very present on the palate but here too a nice freshness gives balance. Then come dried fruits, prune, and polish. The finish is balanced and lengthens with dried fruits, wood, and vegetal freshness. The bitterness develops more and more.
Review by RumTaTa
This is a wonderful color in the glass: dark reddish brown!Nose: Here announces a heavyweight: intense notes of dried plums, cedar and eucalyptus! No trace of alcoholic spiciness. Heavy and very intense on the palate. Less fruity, but slightly going into bitter-sweet: cocoa, coffee, licorice - the typical markers for old Guyana rums. But here in an excellent balance!Finish: bitter but not too bitter, very long, resin appears briefly.This is a rum where I can probably discover something new with ease at each tasting and such bottlings I love especially!
Review by Timo Groeger
And then this bomb, wow, a really strong one, Guyana at its best. A very dark rum, very woody, toasty and spicy. You can really taste a lot of chocolate, coffee, leather, and also cocoa. Excellent.
Review by Agricoler
Dark, strong, spicy. Not a rum for every day but incredibly intense.
Review by Boletus
From the nose to the finish, very complex and incredibly exciting. The woody aroma shifts from roasted-charred over dry-woody pencil shavings to a lush spice cabinet, while the dark side with leather, dark chocolate, strong black tea, licorice, molasses, and coffee is not left out. The fruity counterpoint is also present, with dried fruits meeting berries like blueberries, which further increases the complexity. A brilliant Demerara rum!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Exciting Enmore, very dark and spicy, personally a bit too bitter for me. Either way, a nice 1992 even if not my favorite among the 1992 vintage. Complaining at a high level though.😃😃
Review by The Rock
For me a very good Enmore. The subtle pencil lead taste paired with complex fruity rum aromas. Simply delicious.
Review by DosenZorn
Tried as a 2cl sample. Wow, both smell and taste are wonderful and intense. Plum, wood, cocoa, espresso, and tobacco harmonize together super well. Only criticism: a longer-lasting finish would be great, but that's nitpicking at a high level.
Review by MarcT
Wow. Never had a Rum with this amount of malt and earth in the taste, impressive. It is very woody (did not check the age before tasting) and requires water and lots of air to open up and get a bit sweeter and fruity, even if it is not by much. I am not sure if the bitterness results from age or burnt Caramel. The Alcohol is present and bites a bit, but it's not bad. Lovely experience, but not for every day.
Review by Nivius
Ne ziemlich tolle Mischung Aus Bleistiftspähnen, Holz, Tabak, dunklen roten Früchten, Kakao, Karamell, einer leichten Bitterkeit, die sich aber super in den Rum integriert, Anis, Kräuter. Ein Demerara, der schön viele Facetten Guyanas in sich vereint und dadurch sehr komplex und gleichzeitig intensiv ist.
Review by Oliver
The Flensburger has the intensity that I missed in the Kill Devil. The alcohol is not ideally integrated. Overall, however, the Kill Devil wins the race because of its complexity.
Review by Mentalo
A very good quality rum. The alcohol is very well integrated, nice complexity. Burnt caramel, coffee, wood, licorice root, tobacco. The bitter notes are personally too pronounced for me or the fruity notes that would balance the bitterness are missing.
Review by Fuwi
Everything here is dialed up to the max. The nose is wonderfully full and powerful - just barely not bitter. Burnt sugar from the pan - just on the edge of getting a shade too dark. On the palate, a fantastic Guyana MEC profile hits you, full of pencil shavings, caramel, and dark notes of leather, coffee - exactly what you'd expect from the color. Also here: strong, but not too much. Overall a great bottling with a complex aroma profile, not spicy but rather astringent, I like it a lot!
Review by Schnubbii
Intense and oily, a beautiful, very concentrated Guyana.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Enmore - a working distillery, now just a functional distillation device. Probably the only wooden distillation device in the world that enjoys great popularity. Enmore rums have flavors of ash, leather, heavy wood, which especially excite lovers of smoky whiskies. And if the producer adds a bit of molasses to the rum in the traditional Guyanese way, you have a unique, very strong, and heavy rum in the bottle. One of my favorites.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Intense, spicy, herbal. The alcohol remains quite strong though.

Read full review ›Nose EHP with trumpets! What?! In terms of smell this is much closer to rums from the Enmore Coffey Still instead of the Versailles still. Meaning: Lots of pencil shavings, but fried in coconut butter and fresh paint, together with manioc, green bananas, yarrow, fresh cut sugarcane and earthy roots, creating a feverish jungle vibe (caution, we're not talking about a crazy and bright jamaican funkiness). It's not on a level with the legendary 60's or 70's Port Mourants, but one can receive an immersive impression of the deep and earthy darkness that only rums from Demerara can create. Mainly the ones that dripped out of the three only existing Greenheart wood stills. Palate Impressive how smooth and balanced it is, considering the high strength. So rounded, dark and herbal, with a strong but not predominant espresso and grain coffee bitterness. Some dried Prunes and dates and smokes anchovies are also part of the delegation. The body is super heavy (which brings us back to the Versailles single pot still) and tastes almost tropically matured. It's not really complex, but very oily and pointed. ғɪɴɪsʜ Ciao ragazza! We feel like we've had a long and satisfying visit to a cozy italian coffee shop, with cocoa, cantuccini and crushed coffee beans all over the place. We like that finish a lot!
