"Explosion of plum compote," one member wrote, and that captures this old Enmore well. Burned wood, caramelized walnuts, dark chocolate, tobacco and dried plums, all thick and oily with an almost honey-like texture. Most call it heavy, creamy and endlessly long. The 64.4% is impressively integrated for the strength, though a few still find the heat a touch sharp over that dark sweetness.

How does Silver Seal Enmore Demerara Rum EHP 1977 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Heavy, oily old Enmore, endlessly long finish Almost universally loved: deep caramel, cocoa, tobacco and dried fruit with a huge finish. A couple wish the high ABV sat quieter, and some miss a contrast to the heavy sweetness.

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.

A sweetness that doesn't come from the wood. Mega woody but a bit superficial. Nice nutty flavor
Review by Oliver
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!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
This rum needs no comment. 😋😋 😋
Review by Johannes
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.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by LukaŽiga
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..
Review by zabo
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.
Review by Serge
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.
Review by Felix Reiber
How awesome is that? This bottling hits exactly my taste! Heavenly! On the nose I encounter a dense, deep spectacle of caramel, cream toffee, wood, cherries and dried plums. Almost simultaneously vanilla, chocolate and cinnamon join in. On the palate a fantastic, almost honey-like texture. Dense caramel, dried fruits, cocoa, vanilla and leather go into tobacco, buttery toffee, dried plum and delicate oak. The very long and slightly roasted finish benefits again from caramel, chocolate, leather and especially coffee. Demerara sugar, vanilla and some oak linger. I am really impressed! Delicious and creamy! Interestingly it has a relatively big similarity to Dictador Best of 1979, but is much fuller-bodied and more complex than that. Thanks to @DanielS for the sample 😀
Review by DutchRumPirate
What a fantastic Enmore this is. Incredibly complex, heavy notes. Wonderfully warm, lots of wood with sweet cherries and a touch of smoke. Delicious dark chocolate, tobacco, and caramel. Everything just perfectly balanced. The finish is simply endless. What a wonderful experience this is. As a rum lover, I feel blessed to have tasted this. Thanks, RumX community! ❤️
Review by Dr.Django
An absolute high-end rum! The dark flavor notes including coffee, dried plum, fruits, wood, bitterness,... are wonderfully integrated. There's also a fairly distinct hint of smoke. Similar to the 1974 Silver Seal. Apparently not enough to be as controversial for the few tasters. I like them both.
Review by Mopar Rules
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….
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
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!
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Tasted a Demerara this old for the first time. The basic data alone is already amazing. From the start you can tell that you have a very old rum in the glass. Burnt wood, plum jam, raisins, spices and chocolate are just some components I could taste. The consistency is already slightly creamy. The rum also has quite some steam which gives a long finish. So why only 90 points? I would always prefer a good Caroni because of the flavor profile. But it is and remains a great rum with which you can take a little time travel.
Review by Manuel
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.
Review by Filip Šikula
I haven't had many more intense experiences with rum this year. Extremely rich and complex nose, full of wood, tobacco, leather and chocolate. After sipping it fills the mouth with an oily consistency that opens an extremely complex taste experience. Gorgeous!
Review by FischeJ
Great nose. Caramel, molasses, full. In the mouth the same. Really nicely full. Caramel and cocoa.
Review by Buddudharma
I'm not a Guyana fanboy who likes all of these old bottlings without hesitation, on the contrary, I've also experienced bitter disappointments here. But this rum makes me understand where the hype comes from. It really has everything that a great rum can offer in terms of flavor nuances, plus a great intensity and a wonderfully creamy mouthfeel. All in all: a sensation!

Color mahogany Nose caramel, strongly feel walnuts, bitter chocolate, astringency, old wardrobe Taste caramel, walnuts, chocolate, cocoa, pleasantly stings the tongue at the beginning, astringency, bitterness, old wardrobe, alcohol is well integrated and pleasantly warming Finish long caramel, bitterness of bitter, bitter chocolate, old furniture
Review by Djehey
A legend of rum. Tasted after a KFM 1991 which I already find superb. Here we go even further, in intensity and indulgence. The 64.4° is dangerously well integrated. I still find it hard to believe that this rum didn't get a big splash of molasses during its barreling. But no matter, the pleasure is definitely there.
Review by Florent Apl
A very impressive EHP, age gave it a lot of complexity. Very well balanced, alcohol doesn't bite at all. It's of the better EHP I've tried, mature enough, complex and with even a surprising layer of freshness with tobbaco notes
Review by Adrianv
Amazing nose, cherry, cocoa, orange, pinaple, caramel, spectacular palate full of tastes, apple, chocolates, prunes, wood, orange, cinnamon, extremely complex and balanced, strong alcohol content, longlasting warm finish with candi fruits, marzipan, coffee and much more, great rum, the legend Retasted after while right after Skeldon 73: both incredible rums, so different. SS Enmore shows more fruital spectre and freshness, Velier's Skeldon is bitter and woody. Amazing evening:). Edit 2026: Very unique taste of plum jam, cherry, roasted caramel - amazing profile!
Review by Martin Švojgr
I've been putting this sample off for a long time because I wanted to make time for it. The colour when poured is mahogany, a bit like cherry wood. The aroma reminds me of cherry wood too, with cocoa, oak and toffee. The aroma is very intense, but subtle nonetheless. The taste shows the same thing, subtle strength, toffee, tobacco, dried fruitwood (why do I keep thinking of those cherries?). The finish is very long, dominated by tobacco and wood.
Review by Pavel Spacek
.. Enmore - drive distiller, now just a functional distillation device. Probably the only wooden still in the world that is very popular. The Enmore rums have a flavour of ash, leather, heavy wood, which will delight especially the lovers of whiskey. And if in the traditional Guyanese way the producer adds a little molasses to the rum, you have a unique very distinctive and heavy rum in the bottle. One of my favourites.
Review by JFehr
Wood and dark chocolate. Bitter, roasty and heavy. A great rum
Review by Tim Reiber
The 1977 has reached an enormous complexity after 32 years. Extremely much caramel on the nose, which is sometimes so dark that you can also perceive a sooty chimney. Added to that are nutty notes like popcorn and also dried fruits and herbs or tea. The 64.4% are powerful on the palate and almost disturb the sweet component of the distillate. Nevertheless, you taste dark chocolate, nuts, Demerara sugar, spices, sour cherry, and old oak. The very long finish then goes more into the herbal notes with tea. Great bottling.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
What a pleasant experience from top to finish this is a burned melange of sugar and wood. Lots of spice and cocoa that turns into dark chocolate on the palate. This keeps up the good experience from start to finish
