Wonderfully balanced 88 Enmore. Spices, toasty aromas, dried dark fruits. Slight sweetness, but nicely cushioned with licorice and some pencil. For 92/93 points lack a few percent ABV, but overall really succeeded and clearly above the TRC Enmore 88 as a similar comparison.
Already the sight of the red-brown rum in the glass raises expectations.The nose starts already phenomenal: candied dried fruit, rust aromas, wood and spice hold the balance wonderfully.This continues on the palate but with more emphasis on the barrel aromas and salty licorice joins.The finish is very long and again shifted a bit towards the barrel and tannins.This rum can not hide that he was 32 years in the barrel. The nicer that the typical Enmore profile is clearly recognizable. A rum for a whole evening!
I like better than the Nobilis and even a little better than the Rum Cask. On the nose dried fruit (raisin,fig), leather, spices and caramel. The barrel impact is not too dominant for the 33 years that the rum has on the hump. Dates, leather, licorice and coffee on the palate. As with the other two 88 Enmores, the ABV is rather low, but the intense flavors here compensate for that extremely well.
Very nice selection. The enmore of the dark side of the force 😁 This is also its weak point for me. The cask ended up marking this rum too much. I think I would have preferred it a few years younger. But this is purely a matter of personal taste.
