Nobilis Enmore No. 5 AWM 1988
Dark chocolate, licorice and dried plum, with coffee and a smoky-fruity finish — a classic Versailles pot-still profile from old Enmore. Several tasters note surprisingly little wood and freshness for 32 years, and it drinks easy despite the complexity. The recurring gripe is body: the texture runs thin and the finish stops short of what the age promises.
The community says- Dark chocolate depth
- Easy despite complexity
- But: Thin body

How does Nobilis Enmore No. 5 AWM 1988 taste?
Aggregated from 52 community reviews.
Chocolate-licorice Versailles, complex but thin Widely liked as a well-rounded, easy-drinking Versailles — dark chocolate and licorice depth. Most agree it's a touch thin, and the profile won't be everyone's favorite style.

Review by Thunderbird
On the nose, I find the rum fresh and fruity. On the palate initially sweetish, mild then somewhat woody and in the course slightly astringent and becoming bitter. The finish is relatively short! A fine rum
Review by Tschusikowsky
Underlines the versatility of rum. An easy sipper but still very much complexity. Especially the finish is very versatile. Nevertheless, I do not really warm up to the Mark.
Review by mto75
positiv formuliert wirkt er recht rund, um es negativer zu formulieren, auch etwas eindimensional, sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A pretty decent Enmore. Fruity with nice roasted wood. Coffee, licorice and chocolate in the back. Love the smoky fruity finish.
Review by Jakob
Erscheint im Aromenspektrum insgesamt etwas zu flach - zudem kommt hier rein subjektiv hinzu, dass mir das Profil geschmacklich nicht wirklich zusagt. Qualitativ weiss der Rum selbst zu überzeugen und wird sicher Freunde finden, die ihn mehr zu schätzen wissen.
Review by RumTaTa
In der Nase unauffällig macht dieser Rum einen fetten Twist im Mund: da kommen die Würzigkeit und die Tannine voll zur Geltung!
Review by Martin Augustin
A really great Enmore.Tastes of dark chocolate, licorice and herbs.It is extremely easy to drink despite its complexity.
Review by Christoph
Unerwartet wenig Holz für das Alter, geht mehr in die fruchtige Richting und ist im Geschmack schon nahezu leicht süß.
Review by m8375e
Delicious chiselled versailles with a touch of yellow fruit sweetness compared to the greenheart 1990 VSG.
Review by Johannes
Best 88 AWM I know! Amazingly good, just a little thin. I would like to see more body!
Review by Han
I just needed to upvote my original score.. Definitely needs time to breath.. 1 hour is fine. Now that the acids and bityness is gone , it actually good and smooth
