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.

How does Nobilis Enmore No. 5 AWM 1988 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
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.

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.

... Enmore - drive distillery, now just a functional distillation device. Probably the only wooden distillation device in the world that enjoys great popularity. Enmore rums have flavors of ash, leather, heavy wood, which especially excite lovers of smoky whiskies. And if the producer adds a bit of molasses to the rum in the traditional Guyanese way, you have a unique, very strong and heavy rum in the bottle. One of my favorites.
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 Martin Augustin
A really great Enmore. Tastes of dark chocolate, licorice and herbs. Despite its complexity, it is extremely easy to drink. In a pleasant way with a slightly bitter finish.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Woody, toasted, dried fruits like light plum and light apricot and light spicy notes like anise. As the rum opens up you get more bitter and earthy notes in the palate. Taste:Roasted notes, woody notes, dried fruits and light licorice notes at first. Then you get little bit herbal and earthy notes, mouthfeel changes little bit to a bitter side and you get some coffee notes in there too. The abv and intensity could be a little bit higher Finish: Roasted, smoky, woody, light herbal and earthy notes. Little bit of dried fruits and light coffee notes. I liked the fruity notes that you get at first. Once the rum opened up, i feel like the herbal and earthy notes took over the palate perhaps too much and made the overall palate too bitter.
Review by Timo Groeger
And then finally a really nice Guyana. There's one more coming right away. Then I'm done here. Guyana is definitely recognizable, nice dark, dark chocolate, coffee and caramel etc.
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 Florent Apl
Thanks to Armin for the sample! I couldn't wait to try this old Versailles, especially such unusual mark. It's very complex, I get instantly the Versailles markers, especially the dried plum. It also has a fresh aspect, anis and spices (I'm thinking caraway for some reason), moka and some tropical citrus (lime perhaps). The main downside is the texture, I wished it was thicker, and the finale could be longer too. Overall it's still an very good rum.
Review by Johannes
Best 88 AWM I know! Amazingly good, just a little thin. I would like to see more body!
Review by zabo
11.04.2026 Franconian Tasting Gang meeting at Rumurmel. Thanks for the invitation and also for this dram. A solid 1988 Enmore. Not necessarily my favorite profile, nice to have tried it, but no FOMO triggered.
Review by Serge
Surprisingly little wood for its age. Lots of honey with slight notes of anise, marzipan and licorice. Also some chocolate on the palate. Not quite my thing but still very tasty. Don't need a bottle.
Review by DomM
Surprisingly lifely for the long time in the cask. Very well rounded Versailles profile.
Review by mto75
Positively put, it feels quite round; to put it more negatively, also somewhat one-dimensional, both on the nose and on the palate.
Review by Jakob
The aroma spectrum seems a little too flat overall - in addition, the profile doesn't really appeal to me in terms of taste, purely subjectively. In terms of quality, the rum itself is convincing and will certainly find friends who appreciate it more.
Review by Righrum
I am not a big fan of Enmore of the late 80's, but this one has a better profile, with enough strenght to be fun to drink. Caramel and peach, plus spices and caramel are the main traits on the nose, while on the palate moka and liquorice adds depth to the profile
Review by Jarek
Franconian Tasting Gang meets at Rumurmel, April 2026 (Thanks for the entry into the rum treasure chamber. What a cool location!) Here I'm glad I didn't grab it when the chance came up. The rum is OK, but I wouldn't need a whole bottle of it.
Review by Christoph
Unexpectedly little wood for the age, leans more towards the fruity side and is almost slightly sweet in taste.
Review by m8375e
Delicious chiselled versailles with a touch of yellow fruit sweetness compared to the greenheart 1990 VSG.
Review by RumTaTa
Unremarkable on the nose, this rum delivers a big twist in the mouth: the spiciness and tannins really come through!
Review by Buddudharma
Honey, anise, wood, and spices. Surprisingly fresh for 32 years. Still not my preferred style.
Review by Filip Šikula
A very pleasant Enmore, which like most other pieces from this year and distillery impresses with its light color and lower ABV. Both on the nose and taste my favorite pencil shavings. Very pleasant.
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
