The 61.2% barely registers — that's the first thing most tasters mention. This tropically-aged Enmore pours dark and thick: burnt sugar, oak, mocha and dried apricot, with a thread of glue and varnish underneath. The finish runs long, warm and slightly bitter. A handful of people find it a touch too spicy or too dry on its own, but almost everyone agrees the alcohol sits perfectly integrated for the proof.

Review by Skyfly
A dreamily dark and complex rum where you don't notice the 60% ABV at all. The combination of Demerara sugar, oak, mocha, leather, chocolate, and on the fruity side (dried) apricot harmonizes perfectly and lingers forever in the finish!
Review by Oliver
Excellent Demerara from Velier! Perfectly balanced on the palate and the over 60% ABV just carries flavor without being too harsh.
Review by Giorgio Garotti
The best Enmore I've ever tasted so far! A sublime taste! An endless finish! Just one word: incredible!
Review by Serge
Update: Three months after opening the sample, the rum is still strong and aromatic. A wonderful rum. Elegant, but at the same time dark and strong. Significantly darker and more bitter than the ED 1996 ... and more complex. In addition to a beautiful profile with oak, vanilla, apricot, orange zest, toffee and glue, dark malt, raisins, cedar wood and aniseed waft across the nose. On the palate, the pleasing basic profile is complemented by bitter, burnt mocha, cocoa and fruit in dark syrup. Strong!
Review by Pavel Spacek
... The Old Velier Demerara rum is the best thing you can taste in the rum world. The rums were aged in the tropics for several years by mistake and nobody refilled the barrel. The Andel tax was 90% or more, which is why the taste is especially full and intense. Even though it is an extra expensive product, I recommend to taste a rum from this series at least once in your life.
Review by zabo
For me, this is simply a great old Demerara rum. I think the alcohol is simply superbly integrated. The complexity is simply wonderful and the finish is a poem. It's nice to be able to try this one. If the prices weren't so high now, I'd get myself a bottle.
Review by Johannes
Not my absolute favorite of the Velier Demeraras, but still high quality.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A magical Enmore. The nose is complex, with fruity aromas merging with the dark, sweet profile of Demerara, followed by glue, toffee, floral and pastry notes that form a structured, balanced and delicious whole. On the palate, the dark side is again present, with spices, coffee, mocha and chocolate, while caramel, toffee and sugar notes are not far away, with wood and fruit (dried fruit and apricots) rounding out this superb profile. The rum is very round, complex and balanced, the alcohol very well integrated. The very long finish is slightly bitter, with notes of leather and licorice, malt flavors, spices, dried fruit, a hint of freshness and a slight sweetness. A sublime rum, but unfortunately a victim of its own success.
Review by Frank
I love these super high quality old demeraras from Velier.Beautiful intense and harmonious nose. Old cedar, malty toast with intense tart-sweet plum jam and cherry. Dark caramel and sweet and sour, licorice molasses. Some dry vanilla powder at the back. Nicely spicy, slightly towards Maggi.Palate: full-bodied and complex. Very malty and toasty. Unexpected fruitiness towards dried date with grape and plum but all in treacle. Sweet but strong wood acidity. Kind of buttery with fruitcake. Wants more!
Review by Tom Buteneers
Fantastic first introduction 31/10/24: Refined in the nose, reminding of Barbados. Evolves in the mouth, great balance between the different aspects in the profile. Quite round.

Review by Maxence
Very different from other Enmore I've tasted yet. Way more round with some pastries, vanilla, coconut and caramel. Very complex with a magnificent alcohol integration. Best Enmore I've ever tried at the moment 💘😋
Review by LukaŽiga
8,8:On the nose, the first impression we get is very Bajan like.There are markers like glue, roasted wood with butterscotch, toffee, nuts, leather, vanilla, dried apricots, raisins and orange peel, s hint of a coconut. On aeration, strong plum arises, vegetal notes, spiciness and cocoa. 9:On the palate, the attack is tasty, balanced with fruits like orange, fresh apricots, then dried fruits like raisins, dried apricots, paired with roasted, later very toasted wood notes like burnt sugar, caramel, cream toffee, spicy vanilla and Demerara sugar with molasses help.With resting the rum, some rubber pops out, vegetal molasses, fruity notes with lemon peel, cocoa and mocha, as solvents fly under the radar. 8,8:The finish is long, toasted and dry, slightly bitter and citrus, dried fruits, woody notes like chocolate, brown sugar, toffee, leather and vanilla and molasses with dark licorice.. Edit:1.8.25
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I have made a bottle kill on one of these very recently and I would have loved to have a backup bottle. The nose is fruity and full of spice and young oak topped with glue/varnish. Resting this one is very important. The palate is both intense, complex and well balanced. A tad less fruity but you do get burnt sugar with oak in there as well. The finish is very long and warm with a woody vanilla/toffee outing.
Review by Manuel
A dark and powerful Demerara Enmore rum that is really enjoyable. The alcohol is really perfectly integrated. This makes the rum seem almost soft and elegant. Nevertheless, a full taste experience.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Great old tropical Enmore and my first 1995. Very tasty and round but also quite spicy and bitter. I like the el dorado 1996 enmore much better overall and it's also a bit more complex. Nevertheless, an absolutely exceptional Enmore and a great opportunity! Thanks Oli! ❣️
Review by Mopar Rules
3rd tasting and it gets even better. Raisins, nuts, on the lighter end but a fantastic rum. retasted and I have to withdraw my previous rating. Demarara rules again. An intense fruitiness with the characteristic raisin and plum flavors, cherries 🍒 which I didn’t taste bevor. Woody notes from the cask, a well balanced light bitterness from the cask in the finish. Not as heavy and deep as other demeraras, but intense, complex, lighter and very fruity. Up from 8.7 to 9.1 previous tasting: does the knowledge about the epic brand Velier influence our tasting? I love the demerara rums, their depth, the taste of dried fruits and the influence of the cask. This is a nice rum, on the nose leather, wood, tobacco and dried plums, but quite subtle. The palate has caramel, the plums and the cask. But is it above 9.0? Not for me. It lacks complexity. Compared to the silver seals demeraras I recently tried it gets less points as it even finishes average
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Very pleasant Demerara. Chocolate, vanilla, some dried fruits and cask influence. Somehow what I expected and yet I'm a bit disappointed. It lacks the special recognizability, especially at the current price.
Review by Master P
A tasty rum. On the palate burnt sugar, vanilla, mocha, lots of oak and a hint of apricots. Very round and balanced and in my opinion lots of chocolate, delicious. Alcohol very well integrated. Long finish. But in the end, it doesn't reach my top 2-3 favorites. It's a matter of taste, and considering the price unfortunately not for my wallet. But great to have the chance to try it. Many thanks for the sample.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Superb, thanks to Freddy from A’Rhum for the tasting of this exceptional bottle!
Review by Righrum
Really impressive
Review by Buddudharma
A great nose, strong and unmistakably Guyana. The attack also excellent: intense, creamy, with fine, heavy sweetness. The finish then unfortunately a noticeable disappointment, too short, too dry and slightly sulfurous, almost a bit like wine-aged rums. Overall a nice rum, but definitely not worth the money in my opinion. Update 2025-08-24: How much daily form and/or time can make a difference: Today I don’t have the off-note in the finish at all, and overall I like the profile much better, therefore +0.3 points.
Review by Mirco
Powerful Demerara, with an intense oak note and deep character. Oak, dark caramel and dried fruits such as raisins and plums dominate the profile. Vanilla and glue details provide freshness and depth, while a fine bitter spiciness rounds off the overall impression in the long finish. Very well integrated, complex and intense.
Review by DutchRumPirate
What a wonderfully complex old Demerara rum. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. Very robust, full, complex flavors with a wonderful finish. I've had the pleasure of tasting it twice, and both times I was very pleased. This is a real treat, and you simply taste the very highest quality.
Review by Marcel
A tasty rum that in the end couldn't fully convince me. On the palate: burnt sugar, vanilla, mocha, lots of oak and a hint of apricots. Very round and balanced. Alcohol super integrated. Long finish. All in all a solid story! However, due to the hype, I expected a bit more. I'm curious about the B-sample.
Review by Rum with the Flo
One of the most balanced Demeraras. A variation between fruits and spices that evolves a lot on opening. Extremely warm. A marvel.
Review by JFehr
Cocoa, coffee, heavy sweetness. Subtle bitterness. Alcohol well integrated
Review by Olimpia1936
One of the best rums ever tasted TOP❤️
Review by Michal Jurka
It seems to be the most fruity of the three but with long aeration it becomes darker with coffee, cocoa, rosted notes, leather, nuts, mollases, but I also get vanilla. On the palate it is woody, coffee, roasted, almost burned. I get a feeling it is the most bitter of the three (but it is not a bad thing). Enmores are my favourite kind of Guyana and this is as top-notch as it can get and for me the best of the three I tasted together. This is very complex and layered rum scoring easily well over 9 for me. Big thank you to Filip Šikula for sharing this. Compared together: RX368 Diamond 1999 RX753 Enmore 1995 RX516 Uit 1997
Review by Adrianv
Amazing Enmore! Absolute top rum you can taste today. It is not perfume on nose but rather balanced, smooth with apricot, orange peel, raisins. Palate is very complex, round, smooth, oaky, demerara sugar, mocca, caramel, toffee, apricot, alcohol well integrated, one of the best rums in my opinion. Delicate taste of Long finish. Very high class. Strongly recommended!
Review by Allan Bjerreskov
There are a lot of boring Enmores out there. This is not one of them. Intense nose with fruit, varnish and oak. On the palate the demerara sugar and oak dominate but the fruity notes ensure a delicate balance. A masterpiece.
Review by Peder Frits Nielsen
A fantastic rum - so much taste and strength, so much power yet so delicious and drinkable
Review by Elias Berger
Coffee cocoa bitter
Review by Henry Davies
Nose is light and complex, a bit unassuming but really pleasant if not subtle. Firecracker chicken. Mouth is spicy but incredibly layered, with mint and caramel and healthy dose of spice front to back. The finish is oh so long and elegant, just gliding from the back of the mouth to the front and staying for an incredibly long time. Barrel and spice with complex influence. It felt a bit overly spicy forward at first sip but that mellows out, have to be in the mode for this but a top notch drop. Pushing a 9
Review by Bob the Drunker
Rare real Enmore distill expression you can find in the market, it has quite a lot similar notes like Albion 1994, but this one is more expressive and exposive, bbq, bacon, nice hint of smokes, super tasty rum, if this one could be more balanced from the alcohol, it would definitely be the top 3 Demerara for me
Review by Mingk
A Pro Max version of the Rare Collection, 1996. Somehow I feel this would be very approachable for Scotch‑whisky lovers, LOL.
Review by rhum
Very good Guyana, largely overrated in my opinion, if it weren't in a Velier bottle with that label and price it would be well below in terms of scores, despite that beautiful aromatics of brown sugar and dried fruits.
