TRC Enmore Guyana 1988
Old-Demerara fans who like their Enmore woody but not bone-dry will get the most out of this 28-year single wooden pot still. Expect licorice, dried plum, leather, roasted oak and pepper, with a surprisingly sweet, fruity edge several tasters didn't expect from a rum this old. It runs slightly bitter through the long finish, and a couple of people felt the body could be fuller.
- Balanced spice and fruit
- Dried plum, leather
- Oily, long finish

Woody, licorice-heavy old Enmore with fruit Most find it rounded, intense and balanced, with dark fruit, licorice and oak. A few note the alcohol isn't perfectly integrated and the body lacks a little fullness.

Review by Christoph
Für einen so alten Enmore unerwartet süß und fruchtig im Geschmack aber auch schon in der Nase. Das Holz ist zwar da, wird aber von einer sehr kräftigen Fruchtnote etwas in den Hintergrund gedrängt. Zur süßen Note kommt später gesalzener Speck und im Abgang dann eher bittere Noten. Insgesamt eine spannende Geschmacksbombe. Leichte Abzüge gibt es in der B Note weil der Alkohol nicht ganz so perfekt integriert ist wie man sich das wünschen würde.
Review by Frank
Wow, intensiv würzig-fruchtig in der Nase. Wiederkam die getrocknete und geschwefelte Aprikose vorne. Dahinter aber süße Kirsche. Aromatisch-holzig mit Leder und etwas leicht karamelliges. Gefällt mir gut. Kräftig am Gaumen. Bitter und gleich Lakritz. Würzig-holzig hinterher. Er wirkt auch etwas dumpf-erdig. Leicht pfeffrig mit Muskat. Im Abgang bleibt etwas Lakritz und etwas bitterer Tee. Sehr schöner, alter Enmore.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum was a very nice surprise and I got one for my collection right away. The nose is very fruity with spices and in the back i can find leather and nice wood. The palate is well balanced, intense and slightly bitter with fruits and spices. There is a nice peppery spiciness here and in the back a tiny bit of earthyness. The finish is long and slightly bitter with roasted oak and a tad of coffee.

Holzig ist er hinten raus aber geht noch - fürs damalige Geld absolut top
Review by Mirco
Beautifully balanced between spicy wood and fruit. Great rum.
Review by Oliver
Clearly rounder and tamer than the Flensburg. Nevertheless, intense and complex. I really like it.
Review by Jakob
Despite identical rating but again clearly different from the 32-year-old sister barrel. Here, some aroma strands are still present in a little more force, which gives the rum more balance and occasionally reminds of the minerality of old Versailles. This is somewhat at the expense of the heavy Demerara sweetness, which is not able to trump up in the absolute finesse. Still very good.
Review by Daniel
Nase: Alkohol ordentlich an der Nase wahrzunehmen.dunkle Früchte überwiegen. Gaumen: deutlich pfeffrig und stark zu Beginn, dann warme Kakao und Kaffeearomen von kräftiger Ausprägung. Dazu dunkle Früchte und Lakritz sowie Holz. Abgang: langanhaltend, bitter und holzig. Deutliche Kaffee- und Tabaknoten. Fazit: stärker als der S.B.S 1988 an Nase und Gaumen, aber sehr ähnlich.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
2. Versuch. Immer noch viel Holz. Heute kamen aber auch Früchte durch. In der Nase hatte ich heute etwas röstiges wie Kaffee. Hier passt dann auch die am Gaumen bleibende Bitterkeit.
