    Nose Violets, coffee, and dried rose petals. Ylang-ylang blossoms. It feels like sniffing a coffee in a Victorian-era orangery. Why Victorian? Picture an old, fragrant Chesterfield armchair as well. Add the finest Dominican tobacco and an old leather-bound book—Jane Eyre, perhaps. What we have here is elegance, ladies and gents—an attribute I don’t usually associate with Enmores. After minutes of breathing, very dense dried mango and pineapple coil their way out of the glass. We deem this most excellent. Palate Jane Eyre, indeed! The first sip impresses with an extremely delicate sweetness, elegance, and balance—almost a Victorian purity! The cask is by no means in charge here; the distillate is. Given the label’s mention of a Coffey Still, I first had serious doubts, as the EAM mark usually refers to the wooden Versailles pot still. After consulting with the bottler, he conducted further research with the broker and received the following clear confirmation: it is indeed a distillate from the Wooden Enmore Coffey Still. This makes it something of a minor sensation! Fact is: this rum drinks like juice! Beautiful pencil shavings, sweet milky coffee, with carob and roasted pecans in between. I’m very surprised. You immediately want to take a second sip. It doesn’t have the heaviness and deepness of a 1994 REV or the bangers from the 1970s, but instead an incredible lightness. Almost floating, paired with a thick, viscous mouthfeel. Works wonderfully if you ask me. Finish Long and and extremely juicy, but also vegetal. Very much green coffee and long-steeped green tea, giving it that typical jungle-y vibe that I love about these old Demeraras. Rating The juice perfectly matches the elegant bottle and presents itself with a very dangerous drinkability and freshness. I’ve been a fan for quite some time of drinking strengths in the 48–52% range—provided the dilution happened naturally, i.e., through evaporation rather than added water. This Enmore lands right on the perfect sweet spot. Thanks, Seb, for the sample and the glass

    heute muss sich der Gourmet Pool gegen einen der großen 88er Enmores beweisen, den (mit 90 Punkten) bewerteten Whisky Jury. Der GP hat schon eine grandiose Nase. Von allem noch ein wenig mehr als der Whisky Jury (Trockenfrüchte, getrocknete Feige, Leder, Karamell, Fass). Bei dem relativ niedrigen ABV der beiden kann es aber auch sein, dass der 0,7 Prozentpunkte höhere ABV sich bemerkbar macht. Am Gaumen gefällt mir den WJ fast etwas besser. Er wirkt etwas kantiger (im positiven Sinne). Fazit: ganz oben bei den 88er Enmores, aber das Regal hat er jetzt auch nicht fü sich alleine

    An der Nase zunächst einmal eher dunkle Aromen wie Melasse und feuchtes Holz. Dann kommen Kaffee und Schokolade dazu. Kräuterige Noten sind hier schon zu erahnen. Beim nächsten riechen dann Trockenfrüchte, getrocknete Preiselbeeren und gebrannter Zucker. Nach etwas Zeit sind plötzlich erdige Noten wahrnehmbar, so wie feuchte Erde nach einem kurzen Sommerschauer. Schon an der Nase absolutes Aromenspektakel. Am Gaumen dann zunächst einmal viel Holz und Tannine. Zu den dunklen Aromen gesellen sich dann wieder kalter Kaffe und diesmal eher Zartbitterschokolade. Später dann Trockenfrüchte. Hier allerdings einen ticken zu bitter für mich. Vllt doch ein zwei Jahre zu lange im Fass. Der Abgang ist schön lang und wird dominiert von gebranntem Zucker und erdigen Noten mit Kräutern. Er ist schon sehr hzig, ohne dabei aber zu holzig zu sein. Auch hier hat Gourmetpool ein tolles Fass ausgewählt, nur preislich etwas zu hoch. Man darf wirklich gespannt sein, was da noch kommt von den Jungs aus Lindlar.

    Auto-translated

    Wow, ich bin überrascht. Ich mag die dunklen 1988er lieber. Müsste ein MEC sein. Nicht so viel typische Versailles Bleistift-Noten. Mehr Melasse, Lakritz, schwarzer Tee, Holz und dunkle rote Früchte. Trotz des Alters nicht verholzt. Erstaunlich!
