A tasting from 2000 where I have the following notes. Beautiful dark colour, fruity with herbs and spices. Warm on the palate with natural sweetness. Well balanced with nice alcohol integration.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut

A lovely Guyana that really shines in the nose, complexities of varnish and brine. Than pimento and spices, old leather and raisins. Late in the smelling comes some wood. On the palate this is a lot more straightforward. Still brilliant

Avg Rating 8.8/10 over 210 Rums

Enmore gave the world the last wooden Coffey still, built here around 1880 and still running at Diamond. It is also one of only two Guyanese estates where you can actually buy rum distilled while the place was open: 17 vintages between 1962 and its closure in April 1994. On most Demerara pages that sentence is not true.
