Enmore El Dorado Sauternes Special Cask Finish 2003
The Sauternes finish sounds like it might sweeten things up, but this stays dark and dry. Ashy oak, dark cherry, plum and chocolate with an oily, almost bitter black-tea weight underneath — classic heavy Enmore, just rounded off. The sweet wine shows up early and folds into the finish rather than taking over. At 62% it drinks surprisingly composed, the alcohol tucked in well.
The community says- Heavy dark oak
- Well-tamed 62%
- But: Short-ish finish

How does Enmore El Dorado Sauternes Special Cask Finish 2003 taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Dark, dry Enmore with a wine-cask twist The consensus lands firmly positive: the Sauternes finish flatters the heavy Enmore profile instead of masking it. Several would happily meet it without the finish too.

Review by Christoph
Dry oak and super nice bitter notes from the wood. The herbal note gets stronger on the finish and harmonizes well with blackberry and plum before it. Accented with dried fruit. You can say what you want about double cask aging or finishes, but here it makes a complex, relatively heavy rum round and accessible without reducing its quality. Actually, exactly what a special cask should achieve.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Sauternes finish is not my favourite.
Review by MarcT
I finally got to this rum, and I was not disappointed. It is very dark and sweet, a fruity note I identify as cherry. The sweetness does not overpower the rum, and the high ABV also helps to deliver the taste. The finish brings more wood and some spicyness, which is nice.
Review by Christian Rudt
Very individual profile. Port wine barrel arrives on the nose. Pleases me very much. The palate is very fruity but dry at the same time. Finish falls unfortunately short it remains only something astringent.
Review by Andi
At the beginning directly wine aroma like the Versailles-SauternCask2005 and then the Guyana notes come through directly.
Review by DomM
The finish works very well with the enmore profile. Pleasantly surprised.
Review by Master P
Beautifully chocolatey and very pleasant to drink for 62%
