Nearly everyone who tries this lands in the same place: a heavy, complex Enmore REV that people call a "REV-König" (king of the year). Prunes, plums, leather, dark chocolate, licorice and black tea, with real tannins and a dry, slightly bitter finish. One or two found it a touch flat or the alcohol a bit forward, and a violet-soapy note can creep in after a long rest — but that's the minority.

Review by Jakob
Currently my personal REV king. Pronounced plum notes and subtle tobacco accompanied by noble dark notes of leather, licorice, and wood. If you appreciate the heavy sweetness, the pointed plum notes, and the tart barrel influences that define this marque, you'll find an exquisite rum pleasure here. In direct comparison with other heavyweights of the vintage, the V&M is just at the top for me – but depending on individual taste, other top contenders are definitely possible. Overall, the V&M edges out the rest by a nose for me because its complexity combined with perfect balance of the individual flavor components is the most convincing. Excellent.
Review by cigares
A noble nose where dried fruits and prunes are balanced with the wood. Vegetal, menthol give balance and freshness. The entry on the palate is frank, the alcohol perfectly integrated. Here too dried fruits compete with the varnished wood. Varnished wood that wins all the prizes in the finish with a beautiful and strong woody bitterness. At the very end remains the vegetal and menthol side that gives complexity and balance to this rum. A rum that must absolutely be left to rest a long time in its glass where it gains a lot of complexity and balance. Retasted with more oxidation and I add points to it.
Review by Oliver
Quite dry REV. Little fruit and lots of cask maturation. Incredibly complex. A real REV highlight!
Review by DomM
Very nicely balanced on the nose. Heavy on dried fruits, working nicely with your classic dark REV notes. Very good. Excellent on the palate on the palate as well. Nice variety of fruits with hints of Tabasco notes. Perfect balanced with darker notes. Here milk chocolate, espresso and the perfect amount of wood/ a dry finish. Top notch REV. Cheers, Jarek for the sample!
Review by Tschusikowsky
You don't even notice you're drinking alcohol here. Truly a nectar-like drink. A lot of fun. Perfect balance. Everything you want is there. Great play of aromas, lots to discover without overwhelming. Awesome rum! Crosstasting 2025: King of the vintage for me👑
Review by Leo Krüper
More accessible than the other REVs, more balanced overall. Only a few bitter notes. Very long finish. Full-bodied, heavy rum for long winter evenings. +1 for style and issue price Had it in my glass again after years. Raised to a 90, as this rum now deserves an outstanding rating for me. Processing so much chocolate and caramel in a dark, spicy profile deserves recognition.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A fantastic Enmore in which you'll find everything you need to make a great rum: the nose shows outstanding balance, great finesse but also character, with a heavy, opulent side of dried fruit (prune), dark, roasted wood, leather, spices (licorice, vanilla, chili pepper, aniseed in particular), caramel, nuts, tobacco and herbaceous notes of black tea and flowers. A nose you can breathe in for hours. The attack on the palate is magnificent: all the elements of a well-crafted, structured Enmore are present, with a rich aromatic palette and plenty of generosity. Dried fruit and herbaceous notes sit side by side with a dark, spicy side that gives a sensation of warmth and tannins. Dark chocolate, espresso coffee and walnuts add sweetness and bitterness to the palate. The alcohol is superbly well integrated into this rich, contrasting and complex profile. The finish is interminable, sticky on the palate, very refined and slightly bitter. We find dried fruit, plum, characteristic spices (licorice, ans, vanilla), leather, black tea and tobacco notes. Behind a touch of caramel and chocolate lurks a cola influence that's not at all unpleasant. An Enmore for special occasions, for an olfactory and gustatory orgasm of the highest order.

This rum just makes you happy. Don't you think? Try it! 😍
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Really great exciting review with an intense cassis note and a fine acidity. Dark chocolate, black tea, lots of tannins and astringent. Overall, though, not quite as complex and rounded as some of the now older releases. Very balanced but not a complexity monster.
Review by Galli33
Awesome 1994 REV. It‘s a benchmark. For me in line with the RA 2020. Alcohol and wood almost perfect integrated. This is just fun in the glass 😍 Nose: delicious, fruity, raisin, prunes, earthy, musty, licorice, oak, leather, spicy, roated almonds Mouth: complex, dry, delicious, full bodied, round, strong, astringend, tannins, plum, prunes, caramel, tobacco, black tea, licorice, oak(barrel), dark chocolate, roasted, vanilla,leather Finish: Long, dry, delicious, warm, tannins, oak(barrel), vanilla, cocoa, licorice, leather, plum, bit minty and black tea
Review by Alex1981
Awesome! Full bodied, heavy, complex and just delicious! A harmony of flavors, wood & alcohol, coming in waves and giving ample room to explore. Highlight of the evening for sure and an outstanding dram //update: still fantastic :)

Today a REV tasting... there would be four 1994s (Wild Parrot LMDW, RumClub Ed. 22, Rum Artesanal Ed . 2 and Valinch
Review by zabo
Now that the new TRC 1994 Rev is coming out soon, it made me want to try this sample. What can you really say about such a bottling? Simply an outstanding bottling. The 1994 REVs are just awesome and taste great.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I got this bottle last week and the 800,- euro were a good investment. I can see that the price is now running up to 1500,- euro and that price doesn't match the quality. A super good rum and if you can get your hands on a sample, go for it, probably the best continental demerara ever!
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Everything really fits here. Besides the beautiful bottle, you are also rewarded with a unique content. Very harmonious. Relatively a lot of dried fruits and not too bitter, which I really like. Slightly maltier than the Rumclub 22.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is complex and greedy. Sweet, dried, ripe fruits are at the head of the pack. We find oranges, prunes, raisins, dates ... But other fresher fruits are also part of the game: currants and apricots. The whole completed by a nice dose of licorice-vanilla-chocolate that make this olfactory bouquet more than interesting. In the mouth, there is some pep but the alcohol is perfectly integrated. It's less fruity than the nose, but it's very greedy thanks to the caramel and coconut notes. Some woody pushes from the shoulders in the pack and the tobacco.
Review by Mike H.
Outstanding REV. There’s a lot going on in the glass, great flavors be it in the nose or the mouse. I especially like the licorice note.
Review by SaibotZtar
unfortunately somewhat flat and disappointing to all expectations ...
Review by Filip Šikula
REV profil je jeden z nejpůsobivějších profilů, které může guyana, potažmo enmore nabídnout. A toto je jeden z jejich vrcholných zástupců. A toto je pro mě dosavadní král. Intenzivní komplexní záležitost! Nádhera!
Review by alex
It's crazy, the things that can happen in a glass... this juice is huge. An aromatic bomb... of great complexity, and full of deliciousness. Happy to taste it, disappointed to have only a sample. It's splendid 🤩😍😍🤩
Review by ArminK
Some days I'm totally into fruity wood bombs. It needs some time and the right temperature, then it opens up. Very complex and pleasant on the palate. In the finish, a nice bitter note comes through.
Review by Johannes
In the blind comparison has for me just the RA compared to the VM the nose in front!
Review by Master P
Mega good, balanced fruity, chocolaty and just the right sweetness
Review by Tafia Guildive
Delicious rum
Review by Adrianv
Amazing REV! Daniel_S thanks for the sample! So intensive on nose, prunes, wood, leather, licorice, tobacco, herbs and much more. Bitterness combined with sweetness on palate which I like. Concert of complexity, starting with roasted nuts, woody notes, tea, oak, chocolate, vanilla, dried fruits, coffee. There are tannins present, alcohol very well integrated. Impressive complexity. I need to get a bottle now:) However pricetag is rather high and I doubt it will get better ever. Great bottling with 93pts from me..
Review by Michal Jurka
Beautiful, rich, complex, round. 9club no question about it. I love the heavy leather mustiness on the nose with plums and licorice. The taste brings coffee roastiness and bitterness with dried plums.

The dried fruit really adds depth and complements the character nicely, with some woodiness and a touch of tannins bringing even more depth. Very easy to drink and a really good rum for casual sipping.
