How does this rum taste?
- fruchtiger als am Gaumen
- spannende Nase, Kirsche, dunkles Holz
- intensiv, vollmundig, schön
A classic old Enmore that leans deep into wood, leather and pronounced bitterness, with a dash of herbal freshness and roasted mocha. In the glass, it's “mächtige Eiche, röstig bis verbrannt” (Boletus) and delivers what many call a “schöne Kombi aus Sauerkirsche, Dörrpflaume, Lakritz, dunkler Schokolade, altem Leder” (crazyforgoodbooze). Quite a few RumX members remark on an intense, sometimes borderline-heavy oak character, while others praise intriguing menthol and umami notes. There’s a split: some lament the finish as short or dominated by wood, but for appreciators of ‘bitter/wood forward’ rums, it makes for a rewarding experience.

"Rum-X Calendar 2024 Very nice color in the glass! On the nose I thought we were visiting the Caroni Distillery but it's too bitter and not enough tar/diesel/car repair. I think we have a really old Guyana Enmore KFM in the glass today and because of the intense bitterness I'm guessing RX7441. Resolution: a different good KFM from 1991 than I suspected. I didn't know this one yet. It is already borderline bitter. Rating -0.1 ----- The nose already reveals aromas that usually only appear on the palate or in the finish: woody, licorice, herbs and coffee, for example. On the palate: a powerful board! But with lots of little nuances, great! The alcohol gives just the right boost. Finish: very woody and very on the bitter side, but again with lots of nuances that don't let the bitterness get boring. A very good rum on the verge of "excellent", but the bitterness doesn't really appeal to me. An exciting experience!"
"It‘s a good one! Maybe it‘s diluted, because i was missing the power… the finish is really short, only the wood notes remain. Very impressive enmore nose, fruity, woody, nutty, leather, some fresh minty/licorice notes and a lot of rubber. Lovely nose😍 All these notes continues in mouth. In addition i found some notes of apricots. The finish is quite unspectacular short. All these notes disapper after some seconds, the wood is the only taste which remains. It‘s a good KFM 91, but can‘t keep up with the KFM‘s from Flensburg."
"Too woody for me, especially on the finish. Update 2023-08-19: Today probably the more suitable, because tropical outdoor temperature for tasting. After 30 min of breathing the tropical big city broth, the old rum presents itself clearly oily and only a little woody astringent, but still relatively bitter and not a bit fruity. So you can get one point more out under optimal conditions 😉."
"Dry and wet wood. On the nose, smells of wood polish and turpentine. Taste-wise, I also had gas notes. Decent bitterness in the mouth, also rubber and pencil...a dirty Versailles. Overall less good than the Flensburg, but still very good."
