Review by Giorgio Garotti
We are in the face of a true masterpiece! The rum literally sticks to your mouth! Integration between aromas and wood almost perfect! My new continental aging rum reference!
Review by Pavel Spacek
Nose- typical Enmore profile with dozen of added molasa. Smoky, woody. Tongue- strong taste Enmore. Strict, woody, smoky, not a single gram of sugar. If tou have a chance to taste this rum, do it. For any cost. Money will be there all the time, a chance to taste this rum not.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Fruity, sweet but also musty, evolving into very beautiful old wood. Rest of the sample needs to be tasted alone for further assessment.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one is almost up to par with its older brother and just a joy for your nose and palate. Again you'd probably need to get it at auction like me if you want it.The nose is setting off with varnosh/polish followed by spices and nuts. The sherry cask is in there too with somme mint.The palate lives up to the nose again setting off with varnish and spices. Then it goes into chocolate, nuts and minty molasses. A very complex yet balanced rum.The finish is, like its older brother, forever and besides oak boasts spices, cocoa and a hint of sherry.
