The look inside the bottle
How does Bristol Enmore Versailles Still 1985 taste?
Aggregated 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.
