The Rum Mercenary Enmore 1990
Sip this neat and slowly — it's a demanding old Guyana rum built on that wooden Versailles still. Medicinal, herbal, faintly metallic "pencil shavings" up front, then chocolate, coffee, licorice and dried fruit fill in on the palate. The smoky, woody finish runs long. Several tasters flag it as challenging and not for beginners; the 53.7% is mostly well integrated.
The community says- Complex old still
- Long smoky finish
- But: Medicinal streak

Review by Djehey
Nez plutôt discret sur les fruits jaunes avec une odeur étrange. Des médicaments, une odeur minérale. La bouche est douce, très gourmande, boisée et pâtissière, avec quelques épices. En fin de bouche, on retrouve ces arômes étrange de médicaments. La finale est longue. L'alcool est plutôt bien intégré. Les notes médicamenteuses ne m'ont pas gênées, voire je les trouve agréable... Mais je comprends que ça puisse en gener certains. Le prix est cohérent.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
30.05.2020 Had a nice afternoon with friends and friends of friends including some nice bottles of rum. Notes Light to medium dark colour. Nose Light wood, vegetal, light olive, orange, grass, dried fruit. Palate Fresh, wood, light roasted, grass, herbs, natural sweetness, spicy, light nutts. Finish Medium to long, wood, dried fruit, medicinal, light nutts.
Review by Jakob
Classic VSG profile, sweetness of candied dried fruit, plus the slightly metallic minerality of the typical pencil shavings notes, licorice, pepper, wood. Still a very good rum, but there are better representatives of the vintage.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Almost 2 years after the 1st tasting still very similar impressions. Lots of dry herbs, almost like an ethereal elixir. Medical undertone and smoky finish. Very complex and demanding, not a rum for beginners.
Review by alex
Très bien fait. Très pâtissier. On sent bien l’amande, les fruits exotiques et après 15/20 minutes des notes de cerises et pruneaux. C’est très bon.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un rhum qui aurait pu me plaire (chocolat, café) mais qui me paraît trop minéral. L'alcool pourrait être mieux intégré.
