Review by mto75
mit den 25 Jahren, die der Origin R im Fass verbracht hat, zählt er eher zu den ‚jungen‘ Vertretern. An der Nase habe ich Karamell, kräutrige Würze, Dörrpflaume, Graphit. Am Gaumen altes Fass, Schwarztee, gebrannter Zucker. Bei den vielen exzellenten 88er Enmores spielt er nicht ganz oben mit, dennoch ziemlich gutes Teil!
Review by Thunderbird
Das ist ein Enmore ganz nach meinem Geschmack. Intensiv, holzig und würzig… An der Nase noch recht verhalten, entwickelt er am Gaumen ein intensive Aroma mit einer anfangs schönen Karamellsüße. Schnell wechselt er jedoch in eine kräftige dunkle Würze von Piment, Lakritz, Leder und Holz. Etwas Rosine gesellt sich dazu. Das passt und der Abgang zieht sich schön in die Länge .. so muss das sein 🤩

03.03.2018 A wonderful day with my friend from Singapore at the whisky.dk event in my hometown. Notes: A very dark rum and a bottle hidden under the desk and it only came out when one commented on the flavours in their glasses. Notes: and a long finish. Very light medicinal notes in the profile.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Hat mich bei der ersten Verkostung beeindruckt, habe mir deswegen ein Sample besorgt (danke, FischeJ). Heute konnte ich den Rum in Ruhe verkosten und er überzeugt mich nicht mehr so wie beim ersten Mal. Ja, schön Kaffee ist zu schmecken. Aber auch viel zu viel nasses Holz. In meinen Augen hat der Rum seinen Zenit leider überschritten, er war zu lange im Fass.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,7:On the nose, the first impression is a bit dirty, strongly woody, with pencil shavings, roasted, burnt notes like caramel, roasted nuts, spicy with Maggi and fruity with prunes, raisins, yellow, citrus fruits. On aeration, even more roastedness joins with caramelized Demerara sugar, leather, coffee, cocoa and some smokiness, as the molasses is herbaceous. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is intense with 2 aspects of this rum, pairing each other, roasted wood, later perhaps charred, with caramel, leather, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, quite spicy with variety of them and fruits with raisins, berries, cherries, citrus and yellow fruits.The molasses is dark with licorice, herbaceous, some menthol and bitterness join with longer oxidation. 8,8:The finish is really great, round, with dry and tannic wood, roasted and spicy, slightly smoky, dried fruits and coconut, some pencil shavings..
Review by Basti
Sehr leckerer Enmore. Bringt für mich alles mit was ich erwartet habe. An der Nase viel röstige und würzige Aromen, etwas ✏️, Dörrpflaume, Verkohltes, Lakritz und Holz. Am Gaumen sczhon intensiv, leicht bitter und viele Röstaromen.
