Silver Seal Enmore Demerara Rum 1977

Intense spectrum of predominantly cocoa, oak, caramel, tobacco and spices. This is accompanied by subtle mineral notes, hints of dried and yellow fruit and roasted nuts. The aroma spectrum of the heavy sweetness is almost perfectly pronounced, especially on the nose, from caramel to vanilla and fully ripe mango. In the mouth, the high alcohol content is unfortunately a little too noticeable and somewhat overshadows the overall profile. In the end, I feel there is a slight lack of contrast to this heavy sweetness, such as dark fruits or more nuanced spices. Nevertheless, this is still a great distillate.

Incredibly dense and complex aromas on the nose - lots of wood, cherries and roasted aromas. A fantastic, dark chocolate note on the palate, spicy and an exciting (bitter) orange note. There is also smoke and a strong bitter note from the long maturation in wood. Eternal finish. A real firework of aromas!

This rum needs no comment. 😋😋 😋

Lots of molasses, wood and roasted flavors form the Enmore into a great complex rum with a very long finish. The alcohol could be a little better integrated.

I love going to this bar because they have a huge selection of top shelf and super rare rums. This Enmore is just up there with the best Enmore releases. Fruity with nice smoky wood notes and lovely spices. The caramel is very light and more obvious in the empty glass.

9,2:On the nose,the first impression we get is a very round rum with roasted wood notes like caramel, Demerara sugar, nuts and chocolate, a bit spicy with vanilla and cinnamon, velvety, buttery with an orange, dried fruits like apricots, prunes and a little varnish. On aeration, bourbon ageing is even more evident with toasted coconut, brioche, cocoa, leather, as a molasses brings us some tea. 9,2:On the palate, the attack is immediately bourbon like, very tasty and round with dried fruits like apricots, prunes, raisins, then orange, a bit later with mango and toasted coconut.Here we have charred wood notes, very creamy with caramel, cream toffee, nuts and dark chocolate, an apple is baked, a bit smoky, spices with vanilla and cinnamon.The molasses is earthy with tobacco, musty. After resting, some menthol arises, the rum becomes a bit bitter, the fruits candied and for a moment some salt is present. 9,1:The finish is long, with dry, spicy and roasted wood notes, a bit bitter, earthy, as the fruits are dried and candied..

On the occasion of my dear wife's birthday, we treated ourselves to this old drop. For me, it could almost have broken the sound barrier. Unfortunately, it is a little too sharp-edged and alcoholic for me, even after a long time. This unfortunately ruins its good, complex aromas for me.

Old, dark Guyana profile with wood, leather, cocoa and lots of tobacco. But anything but dusty. Immediately after pouring, the nose is unexpectedly fruity with prunes - but there are also fresher notes of cherry, orange, even some mango and pineapple. There is also vanilla, varnish, dark chocolate and cinnamon. Also some smoke. The pleasantly high ABV brings the aromas to the nose with plenty of steam. Darker and roastier on the palate with a slight coffee bitterness, a fine sweetness of burnt sugar, soaked prunes, ... a poem.

Wie genial ist das denn ? Diese Abfüllung trifft genau meinen Geschmack ! Himmlisch ! In der Nase begegnet mir ein dichtes, tiefes Spektakel aus Karamell, Sahnetoffee, Holz, Kirschen und Dörrpflaumen. Fast zeitgleich kommen Vanille, Schokolade und Zimt dazu. Am Gaumen eine fantastische, ja fast schon honigartige Textur. Dichtes Karamell, Trockenfrüchte, Kakao, Vanille und Leder gehen über in Tabak, buttriges Toffee, Dörrpflaume und zarte Eiche. Der sehr lange und leicht röstige Abgang profitiert wieder von Karamell, Schokolade, Leder und vor allem Kaffee. Demerarazucker, Vanille und etwas Eiche schwingen mit. Ich bin wirklich begeistert ! Lecker und cremig ! Interessanterweise hat er eine relativ große Ähnlichkeit mit dem Dictador Best of 1979, ist jedoch weitaus vollmundiger und komplexer als dieser. Danke an @DanielS für das Sample 😀

oh my god! Explosion 💥 of plum compot on the first nose, then burned wood and caramelized walnuts. ABV is almost not realizable. Cherry flavors rise after the rum is resting a while in the glass. Palate: Oh, I love these massive falavors. Your grandma’s plum jam forgotten in the oven. Burned, a bitterness from the long time it has been in the cask, oily, it really fills the mouth with all these flavors. And these flavors stay there for an endless finish. Not as complex as the top caronis or these old Long Ponds, but massive. Every flavor, the burned caramel, the plums and cherries,the wood is quite dominant and just massively intense. What a rum! Glad to have a bottle in the shelf. And it still lingers in the mouth after a long time….

Once again a great split from Daniel. Very very cool Demerara Rum. The long maturation in the barrel is well noticeable by woody and spicy influences without being negative. Very pleasant sweetness in the taste and absolute explosion of flavors in the mouth. Lingers for a very long time.

Das erste mal einen so alten Demerara verkostet. Allein die Rahmendaten sind schon erstaunlich. Von Anfang an merkt man, dass man hier einen sehr alten Rum im Glas hat. Verbranntes Holz, Pflaumenmus, Rosinen, Gewürze und Schokolade sind nur einige Komponenten die ich herausschmecken konnte. Die Konsistenz ist schon leicht cremig. Dazu hat der Rum auch noch ordentlich Dampf was einen langen Abgang gibt. Also warum nur 90 Punkte? Ich würde aufgrund des Geschmacksprofils immer eher einen guten Caroni vorziehen. Aber es ist und bleibt ein großer Rum mit dem man eine kleine Zeitreise machen kann.

Moc intenzivnějších zážitků jsem s rumem letos neměl. Extrémně bohatý a komplexní nos, plný dřeva, tabáku, kůže a čokolády. Po napití naplní ústa konzistence oleje, která otevře extrémě komplexní chuťovej zážitek. Nádhera!

A really fantastic old Demerara! Strong bitter-sweet mocha, dark dark chocolate, Virginia tobacco, caramelized Demerara sugar, cinnamon, prune, apple and orange and all very concentrated, heavy and oily and yet extremely harmonious. The alcohol integration is very good and the cask influence is surprisingly low for 32y in cask! Unusually sweet and delicious, which I definitely wouldn't have expected! The only thing missing for me would be an aromatic contrast to achieve a little more complexity. But that's complaining on a damn high level!

Tolle Nase. Karamell, Melasse, voll. Im Mund das Gleiche. Richtig schön voll. Karamell und Kakao.
