One taster called it "heavy and dark," and that's the whole story here: varnish and wet old wood on the nose, then licorice, leather, coffee, dried plum and dark caramel underneath. Bone-dry on the palate with earthy, spicy depth and a long finish. This 1988 Enmore rewards patience — it opens up over half an hour and keeps unfolding.
The community says- Deep complexity
- Long dark finish
- Keep in mind: Savory soy note

How does Silver Seal Enmore Demerara (Blue Label) 1988 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dark, dry old Enmore for slow sipping Members treat this old Enmore as a rarities-set highlight. Dark, woody, bone-dry and deeply complex, with the 55.7% well integrated. A few noted a savory soy-sauce edge and slightly too much bitterness.

Review by Jakob
Needs some time in the glass, but then the rum drives an impressive spectrum of spices, fruits, heavy sweetness and even some minerality. Seems like an EHP with a touch of Versailles, but this can probably only be speculated. In any case, an excellent drop.
Review by cigares
RumX rarities day 1. A heavy, dark nose of varnish and old wet wood. Look for tropical fruit. Slight bourbon in the background. The same heavy, dark side is present on the palate. We go underground, a vaulted cellar with a dirt floor, a smell of mystery and old smoke. The finish is super-long on wet varnished wood. Light vanilla, pencil lead and brown sugar come through. I love these atypical rums that tell a story. It's a long way from a light, easy-drinking rum, but I'm fascinated by the red cargo here.
Review by Oliver
The nose is intense and complex. Prune, leather, spice and some currant. On the palate, salty licorice and a pleasant dryness. Leather, spice, coffee and an earthy undertone. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. Wow, a real highlight!
Review by TheRhumhoe
A superb Enmore from the good old days, which opens with an elegant, round and complex nose. There are notes of dried fruit on prune, aromatic herbs and tobacco, but also noble oak, spices, licorice, leather and dark, roasted notes that go as far as Demerara sugar, molasses and caramel. A very enticing profile. On the palate, the finesse of the nose returns with notes of dried fruit and herbs, but then the noble wood, spice and old leather take over. Slight bitterness, dark and even salty notes add an extra touch that makes all the difference on the palate. The profile is very round and the alcohol very well integrated. The finish is of decent length; it could have been a little more lively, but the delicacy of the aromas partly explains this more subtle withdrawal. There's just the right amount of bitterness for it to be well appreciated, it's very well balanced. A superb Enmore, a good rum like no other.
Review by mto75
the #1 from the Rarities set. To start on the nose brine, a bit like the continental PMs. Then after more standing time in the glass, licorice, mocha, caramel, pencil. I can also relate to the currant. Also kind of dusty-dry, but that's meant in a positive way. Reminds me of the '85 RA VSG now. On the palate a nice balance between fruit and coffee, leather. The rather moderate ABV contributes to a very pleasant, almost mild finish, with old barrel. Class part!
Review by Mirco
Heavy and dark. A real firecracker! A highlight from the RumX Rarities Sample Set. 😊
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Having been invited to a friends today for an early tasting of some of his demerara collection. An amazing rum :-)
Review by Joachim Guger
The nose is dominated by wonderful and strong lacquer and solvent notes. Underneath hide macaroons, tobacco, leather, wood, roasted aromas, licorice, dried fruits, etc. - all very fragile, fleeting and very complex. A wonderful nose, I could sniff for hours. 🤩🤩🤩 On the palate then very strong, woody and spicy. Bone dry. A great, long finish! Spice, caramel and a hint of dried fruits. A great rum you can spend 1-2 hours with, very similar to the 1986 bottling and almost even a bit better. 😀😀😀 Shoutout to Bonn for this awesome sample!
Review by zabo
Wow, what a drop. That’s quite a statement. Unfortunately, I was on vacation during the blind tasting. I would never have guessed it. I probably never had such a drop in my glass. Thanks again to everyone who made this possible. Edit: in short, "it tastes like so much!"
Review by Mentalo
Very nice, complex rum with a heavy sweetness, dark caramel, licorice root, wood note, herbs and a bit mineral. Sweetness alternates with bitter notes. Alcohol is perfectly integrated. Reminds me a bit of RA 1994 REV, but that was clearly sweeter. I liked the Silver Seal.
Review by Serge
Blind tasted in the RumX Rarities Tasting. Guyana recognized, but could not assign it to a particular still, so probably a Guyana blend around 55% with probably a Versailles share. Alcohol well integrated and the very dark profile after pouring with a very spicy (almost soy/maggie) component develops nicely and is fully there after half an hour. Not yu dark, not too light with elegant bitterness.
Review by TheJackDrop
First blind tasting thanks to RumX and not disappointed, it was top notch, it's true that it reveals more aroma little by little, it would have taken more to fully appreciate. Otherwise, it is indeed a significant Guyana! Top !!!
Review by Cinci
Drunk at The Auld Alliance in Singapore - Intensely woody, the tannins still come through. Complex aroma spectrum and stays long on the palate, alcohol well integrated, but for me it could have a bit more power. (04/26)
Review by Buddudharma
Rum Rarities 2023 Day 1: Reminds me very much of the 94 REVs, with lots of wood and spices, heavy sweetness and some dark fruit like plum. In addition, there are a few too many bitter notes for me, as well as a note reminiscent of Maggi or soy sauce, which I have a hard time with. In sum, a great rum, but not a profile that picks me up completely.
