Top review from lamb Dave:
"little dark, steady with slightly dull. good low-abv Demerara, although it could be higher. I prefer those stronger because the features come out better, but it's still worth sipping and appreciating."
RX10042
Top review from Jakob:
"Schönes schweres Demerara-Profil, mir leider am Gaumen etwas zu rauchig für die ansonsten filigrane Aromatik aus schweren Trockenfrüchten, Lakritz, Leder, ausgewogenen Gewürzen und Holz."
RX12712
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Un Enmore d’un ancien temps d’une grande finesse et très parfumé. Le nez se pare de prunes et de pruneaux, avant de laisser les épices provoquer les narines avec en arrière-plan une trame sombre de boisé et de cuir. Les notes florales et d’herbes aromatiques sont très plaisantes. L’attaque en bouche vient délicatement avec une main de velours. Les notes d’herbes et de fleurs marquent le palais de leur empreinte avec une touche médicinale. À l’inverse du nez, le côté sombre revient davantage avec l’amertume qui vient accompagner les épices, les saveurs toastées, le cuir, la prune et le pruneau. L’ensemble est équilibré, très rond et gouleyant. La finale, très longue, combine l’exostime des fruits, l’élégance boisée, la vivacité des épices, la fraîcheur florale et herbacée et l’amertume du cuir et du café pour un mélange harmonieux et aromatique. Un joli Enmore terriblement bon et efficace."

Top review from Tschusikowsky:
"Sweetness present here as well. Alcohol very well integrated. No idea what's in there, but it tastes fierce Caroni. Really good stuff.Edit: RumX Advent 1.12.22Chocolate, espresso, tar, slightly smoky, finish rubber, red and dried fruit, tingling on the tongueNice bouquet, finish lasts a long time. I taste the rum the next day still in the throat 🤤Before the resolution I thought: of this I would like a bottle...and behold 🥰"

Top review from Jakob:
"If you like the beguiling notes of fresh oak with caramel and vanilla that so often accompany tropically aged Demeraras, you'll be right at home here. While there aren't too many other flavors to add to the flavor profile besides a few nuanced spice aromas and subtle dried fruits, this concentration and syrupy melt alone are simply fun for me as a Demerara lover and probably also give the bottling a subjective flavor bonus in the rating. No rum that would overwhelm on the basis of its complexity - instead simply seductively delicious at a high level."

Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Sehr ungewöhnlich frischer fast schon grüner uitvlugt. Toll ist vor allem die Note nach frischer Zitronenschale. Alles in allem dominiert für mich aber Mal wieder der angekaute und leicht angekokelte Bleistift mit dem ich nicht warm werde. Von den hier beschriebenen Fruchtnoten nehme ich nichts wahr... Maximal etwas Lavendel Arznei Tee aber dass wars dann auch😄"

Top review from RumTaTa:
"Second tasting and recalibration:The rum is not as good compared to rum rated equally good by me. In addition, the alcohol can be better integrated. -5 pointsNose: what a "mess"! Very complex and versatile. Here I can sniff it for a long time and always discover new flavors!Mouth: the start is amazingly mild but then the flavors come riding with full force on the alcohol wave! Again, a crazy combination and variety!Finish: long and with recurring impressions of nose and palate. Amazing: here the fruity flavors do not come under the wheels of barrel and spice.A great rum! No easy sipper and it takes its time."

Top review from Jakob:
"On the nose, the 2006s are unsurprisingly quite similar: dried fruit, subtle spice and wood notes. What stands out for me in the direct comparison is a mineral note, which also remains present on the palate. In addition, the obligatory prune, leather, licorice, wood, some roasted aromas, and caramel sweetness. Aromatically quite with appealing complexity. For me, the light minerality is the most recognizable feature. For the comparison to the 1994 representatives, I repeat my impressions of the other 2006s: much less heaviness, the plum notes occur here rather in tandem with currant, the dark tones of wood, licorice, leather and caramel are much less pronounced. I am inclined - despite the aromatic complexity of this bottling - to speak of "REV Light." While the spectrum of 2006s also has its charm and the character is undeniably recognizable, in my eyes the REV profile benefits extremely from the long aging and resulting complexity. However, the reference points can also be described as almost unfair for the younger bottlings, especially for proven lovers of the 1994 REVs."

Top review from Tim :
"Kräutertee trifft Guyana. Nun ja, Nase noch spannend/komplex (pflanzlich, nussig, röstig, fruchtig) und macht Lust auf mehr, aber im Mund dann holzig, trocken, würzig, herb. Hätte mir mehr Röstaromen, Karamell und Frucht gewünscht. Im Abgang viel Lakritz, Gewürze und Trockenfrüchte, was was nicht ganz auf meinen Geschmack trifft."

Top review from Rodolphe:
"Gouté rapidement sur le Rhumfest. Encore une fois j'ai du mal à comprendre la "politique" El Dorado. Ça se vend pour deux fois le prix du 15ans. En gros c'est très proche du Enmore 96 mais réduit à 40% (sciure de bois, mélasse). C'est parfait pour découvrir un simple still sans monter les degrés d'alcool mais du coup, le prix n'est pas adapté. Et pour l'amateur qui veut le produit typé Enmore, le prix ne gênera pas mais le rhum mnque clairement d'intensité... Bref c'est un bon rhum facile d'accès mais si vous n'êtes pas spécialiste Guyana, vous prendrez un 15 ans sans hésiter pour vous faire plaisir à prix sympa et si vous êtes à fond, vous passerez votre chemin car il vous manquera quelque chose."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"I love that they have reduced the sugar content to near zero. This has improved the quality of this rum a lot. Nice and fruity with spices and a warm palate. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass is really nice."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Had 6cl of it after a better dinner at a local restaurant. It’s long time ago since I tasted the old 12yo with 35gpl sugar, but I’m pretty sure I like this new one with 6gpl sugar better. Overall an pleasant well balanced rum with a certain complexity."

Plantation Guyana Single Cask (The Rum Cartel)
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"The nose starts off alcoholic but after resting for 15 minutes it changes to a nice smoky nose with honeysuckle, varnish and molasses/bourbon. The palate is nice and warm with a charred smoky start going into dried fruit, caramel and a bit of spices. The finish is long, medium dry and warm with pepper and a tad off smoke."
RX12985
Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"Had somehow hoped this rum would be a worthy Guyana counterpart to the outstanding OTL from Trinidad (RX9683), but was quite disappointed. 🙄 Find this rum just thin and flat and one-dimensional. Too bad. 🥴After all, the PLV is (was) still quite ok and the rum will find its lovers (he already has)."
RX13844
Top review from Jakob:
"Die typischen PM-Noten sind unzweifelhaft erkennbar, insbesondere wird aus dem Profil aber eine Art „PM-Light“ - die Reduktion nimmt die Wucht aus dem Destillat, bringt aber auch eine neue Facette ein. Hat was und insbesondere für Demerara-Newbies ist das eine stimmige Ergänzung zu den hochprozentigen Releases."
