Belle texture Huileuse très à mon goût ! Mais la finition en fût de whisky gâche un peu le plaisir
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I was a bit disappointed because these rare releases are usually pretty good. This one however fell outside the normal range and is a bit out of balance in my mind. I'd say their regular Small Batch Rare Rums Enmore is better. Price to quality is off on this one by quite a margin actually.
Review by Johannes
Oha, there must have been a whiskey finish involved. It's not my taste, but the finish is at least discreet and not too ostentatious.
Review by Rodolphe
Thanks to the rum nation stand! An enmore in the same vein as the 1997/2016. Except that the Sherry cask has been replaced by a peaty finish whisky. And personally it is not for me. I think it's a shame to change the essence of these old enmore by adding peat... I hope it will find its audience because the peat does not erase everything else, it is well integrated, not omnipresent, but too much for me.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Es ist eigentlich ganz einfach: Wenn ich Rum trinken will, trinke ich Rum. Wenn ich Whisky trinken will, trinke ich Whisky. Das lässt dieser Zwitter leider nicht zu. Eine Spirituose, die sich Rum nennt, aber einen viel zu starken Whisky-Einfluss hat (strenggenommen sogar ein Blend, ein Teil im Whiskyfass gelagert, der andere im Sherryfass, vom Sherry spüre ich allerdings nichts, der Whisky-Anteil überlagert alles). Solche Experimente sollte Rum Nation wirklich lassen, sie gehen regelmäßig schief. Sehr schade, nicht nur angesichts des hohen Preises, sondern auch wegen der wirklich hübschen Verpackung in Buchform.
