The look inside the bottle
How does Bristol Enmore Versailles Still 1985 taste?
Summarized by AI from 7 community reviews.
Textbook Versailles Demerara experience Highly praised as a classic Versailles Enmore: rich dried fruits, old wood and licorice, well balanced at 46% and deeply satisfying for Demerara fans.
Demerara lovers and whisky drinkers who enjoy leathery, woody notes with prunes, raisin and licorice rather than sweetness or tropical fruit bombs.
Those seeking sweet, easy rums or high-ABV intensity; the profile is dry, woody and subtle compared to cask strength Jamaicans or dosed dessert rums.

Very good rum, much better than the PM tasted at the same time.

... Enmore - drive distillery, now just a functional distillation device. Probably the only wooden distillation device in the world that enjoys great popularity. Enmore rums have flavors of ash, leather, heavy wood, which especially excite lovers of smoky whiskies. And if the producer adds a bit of molasses to the rum in the traditional Guyanese way, you have a unique, very strong and heavy rum in the bottle. One of my favorites.

Versailles essence! Fantastic!
Review by Jakob
Versailles in its purest form, unfortunately a bit too thin.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
A superbly well balanced enmore. The nose is a lot of old wood and prune and raisin. Burned sugar transists into tasting and a full bodied sweetened spice. Quite something where you are not missing abv.
