Enmore Rum Artesanal Guyana Rum KFM 1991
Sip this one slow and give it half an hour in the glass — it needs the air. This old wooden-still Enmore is dark, dry and deeply woody: pencil shavings, dried prune, old leather and mocha, with a cooling menthol streak cutting through the bitterness. There's real KFM bitterness here, but most tasters find it dialed back and better balanced than its Flensburg siblings. Long, licorice-and-mint finish that won't quit.
The community says- Deep complexity
- Cooling menthol note

Review by Lukas Jäger
Wow, what a drop! KFM is always a double-edged sword for me, because I simply do not like bitterness / woodiness in rum. But what Rum Artesanal has conjured up here yet, thrilled even me! An incredibly powerful nose that makes the whole room smell intensely of dark, ripe plums. Smelled up close then rather dried plum, dried currants, orange, herbs and also a trace of pencil, as befits Enmore. Particularly noteworthy here again the bitter notes, ranging from molasses and licorice to burnt caramel to old oak, resin and really old barrel, and confirmed especially on the palate. Here these predominate, so that the fruitiness fades into the background, which I personally like less. The finish stays in the mouth forever and lingers long with notes of licorice, old barrel, mint and again some pencil. So I imagine it to lick out an in old barrel! ;-) Overall a class rum and for me one of the best KFMs, if not the benchmark so far. The nose would even get a few points more from me, but the palate I have to deduct one, two points, because it is just a bitter KFM. In total, however, it is simply fun!
Review by TheRhumhoe
An Enmore with a more "green" profile, floral and grassy, concentrated on aromas of pencil shavings, tobacco and menthol in particular, then wood, spices and dark notes come to envelop the whole before some fruity notes (prunes) come to round the angles. Elegant, a bit special but well aromatic. The attack in the mouth is more marked, impregnated with bitter notes, leather, warm spices, dried and nuts fruits, roasted notes and mocha, without forgetting herbs, pencil, thyme, tobacco and mentholated freshness. The finish is very long on the same register. A rather rustic rum, complex and concentrated, which honors its disappeared distillery.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Tasted after the Flensburg MEC. The nose is quite similar, but less drinkable, more charred aromas, burnt sugar, roasted spices behind the prune. Instead of parfumed tobacco there is dried mint and a sour note as of dry lemon peel.Also less pleasing in the mouth than the FRC and the impression of the nose is repeated. It lacks the round fruit instead there is a tart acidity in a dusty dry spicy profile.Also again the distinct licorice note of old Versailles which I do not love.It is amazing that the FRC MEC and this RA, with quite similar profiles are so far apart in my rating.Compared to FRC's KFM it is less balanced and intense. For me, on a par with the Nobilis.
Review by DaveLamb
1st:the rich herb and dense thickness impress a lot A fantastic journey, with wood forest smells setting the tone for adventure, but very balanced and full (especially compared to other KFM). The herbaceous aromas combine with the spices to create a unique "pencil" flavor, and the toasty aromas accompany the whole process. It's like being in a lumberyard, or a barbecue, maybe in a chemistry lab. amazing! Without a hint of excess sweetness, it unexpectedly has a touch of good dry gin/old Tom gin. It might lack some fruity sweetness(or pleasure of candy? ) and be a bit strange, but the flavors are so concentrated and complex. Unusual rum, but also excellent.
Review by RumTaTa
I tasted this rum with the 2021'er Flensburg KFM (RX10871)Color-wise there is no difference: deep reddish brown with reddish reflections in the glass.Nose is a little more closed compared to the Flensburg with a stronger tendency towards herbs, menthol and wet tobacco.On the palate very heavy not quite as much sweetness (burnt sugar). The alcohol seems stronger in contrast to licorice and tannins, which are a tad stronger no Flensburg.In the aftertaste, the picture is very similar: not quite as bitter, milder and fading with a pleasant sweetness.A sophisticated exception rum, which is an idea more harmonious and accessible compared to the Flensburg.
Review by Frank
Wow, a nose to fall in love with. Intense, complex, full-bodied. Very woody and spicy, but delicious. Old oak toasted, malty toasty. And yet very fruity with dried blood orange and sweet-tart dried currant. Maple and treacle. And again very dark with some Maggi and light licorice. Could smell it forever.The palate is as I expected from 31: strong, woody, toasty and spicy. Strongly bitter at the very beginning, but complex roasty flavors catch up quickly. Mocha, wood acidity, tobacco, maggi and some umami. Again the dried orange and currant, plus prune. Something dull like pencil shavings is there too. Great complexity.The bitter on the palate doesn't bother me at all. I think the strong flavors are great. Great rum
Review by mto75
In the other glass, the Flens KFM (2021 release). Both are somehow quite beasts 😝 In the RA next to prune, leather, oak barrel, polish also a fresh, light menthol note. In comparison, the RA seems a bit more intense, it also comes a bit more over the spices (cardamom, allspice), but admittedly all very close to the edge of imagination. On the palate, the Flens seems a bit rounder (less bitter) and the finish feels a touch longer. Overall a stalemate, which is why the RA also gets 89 points.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
The needs a lot of time..Extremely concentrated nose of pencil shavings, old leather couch, rotten wood, dried herbs such as thyme, sage, nettle and mint, as well as some plum mustard and burnt caramel.Taste as expected was very bitter, oily and concentrated after leather, pencil, lots of wood, some cassis and prune, as well as dried herbs almost ethereal effect. No idea why but reminds me of these fir needle sauna infusions 🤣dazu come light mocha / coffee notes but they are very much in the background, all underpinned by bitter molasses and licorice.All in all, definitely a good rum that will find its lovers. I'm just unfortunately not a fan of these crass bitter notes and have as a child just do not like to chew on the pencil😜😉😅
Review by cigares
A beautiful nose oscillating between dark notes of old barrel, roast, prunes and a fresh side with vegetal, menthol and lively alcohol. The same aromatic framework is found on the palate, with menthol surprisingly refreshing the old wood. The finish is long, with the same precarious but brilliant balance. The empty glass tells a story of old wood. A rum that might be considered on the edge of balance, but which I find fascinating.
Review by Leo Krüper
Deep KFM. Not for the faint-hearted or beginners. Very strong barrel influence, which makes the rum come across as very sublime and aged. But fortunately not yet overpowering. I'm enjoying this profile more and more, also because the usual herbs are very limited here. I can't taste any of the frequently mentioned pencil leads either. Good PLV at the time of release.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Enmore - drive destilerka, nyni uz jen funkcni destilacni zarizeni. Patrne jedine drevene destilacni zarizeni na svete, ktere se tesi velke oblibe. Rumy Enmore totiz maji prichut popelu, kuze, tezkeho dreva, coz nadchne zejmena milovniky nakourenych whisky. A pokud tradicnim Guyanskym zpusobem prida vyrobce do rumu trochu melasy, mate v lahvi unikatni velmi vyrazny a tezky rum. Jeden z mych oblibenych.
Review by Jarek
Two KFM bottlings today, the rum Artesanal and Levy Lane. Of course, both are heavy, dark and woody. The RA has a lovely minty note on the nose, palate and finish. There is also prune and orange peel. Lots of wood, but not yet over my personal limit. Great rum! Where can I get a bottle now? Oh yes, in this comparison the RA is ahead for me.
Review by Mike H.
89 points. It was with a lot of anticipation that I opened one of my bottles of this 1991 Enmore. This KFM surprised me a little as there are some minty notes on the palate. There’s also a lot of bitterness but in a good way. I’m looking forward to try this one again in a few months so that this rum will have a little time to breath.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Wow. Impressed me a lot. My first KFM. Great spice. Whole new world of flavors. My to understand what is meant by the pencil. Classified it as a blend of roasted flavors and spice. The mint and wood are great integrated. Unfortunately horny. Look forward now to the KFM of Flensburg as a comparison.
Review by Galli33
A big thank you to Thomas for this awesome sample 😛😛🤤🤤 This is really great cinema here, a powerful, heavy, complex KFM! I left the rum to rest for around 30-40 minutes so that it could fully develop. The alcohol is very well integrated, although it is very sharp on the nose.
Review by Jakob
Ficht with the second Flensburg release for the crown of KFMs bottled since 2020 from 1991. For me, the Flensburg is a touch ahead because it comes along even rounder. But both are excellent representatives from Guyana and further evidence of the complexity of the Enmore bottlings.
Review by Christoph
Wow! This KFM beats them all. Instead of an oak forest, you have here rather pencil made of oak. KFM typical bitterness is present, but so mild that people who don't like bitters should be able to tolerate it. A complex spicy-herbal flavor journey.

The barrel has obviously done a great job, the bitter tones are pronounced, but not quite as exaggerated as other KFM. Love it of hate it!
