One taster sums it up neatly: not always does a rum need long years to be great. This is one of the rare Velier Enmores bottled at just nine, and it plays lighter than most Demeraras — citrus and herbs up front, a little vanilla, then wood and a touch of honey-smoke. At 64.9% it starts prickly and closed; give it time in the glass and the EHP still character opens up, drying out to a long, minty, faintly chocolatey finish.

Review by Johannes
Beautiful Guyana with a lot of molasses / licorice flavor
Review by Johannes Eisner
The honey and smoke notes almost give it a Rockley feel. Completely new and exciting look at the Mark EHP. Clear distillery character.

Review by Giorgio Garotti
It takes patience and time to fully understand the potential of this rum! One of the few Demerara Velier with only 9 years of aging! At first it is rough and not all aromas are perceived but as minutes pass the distinctive traits of Enmore fully come through! This is an example that a long aging is not always needed to make a good rum!
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Old Velier Demerara rums are the best you can taste in the rum world. Rums aged rather accidentally for several years in the tropics and nobody topped up the cask contents. The angel's share was 90% or more, which is why the taste is especially full and intense. Even though it's an extra expensive affair, I recommend trying a rum from this series at least once in your life.
Review by ArminK
Today a sample I was very curious about. Beautiful light color, the nose is quite mild at first. Some herbs but mainly citrus fruits with a bit of vanilla. On the palate, first citrus fruits, somewhat woody, also a light sweetness. The finish brings in some mint.
