Distilia Enmore (Versailles) Greenheart REV

"Excellent stuff - top notch bottling of the 94 REVs vintage imho. Delivers on dark, woody, herbal and fruity notes on the nose as well as on the palate. My only critic here is the relatively low proof, which manifests in a bit less power on the palate versus other bottlings."

"Great cinema. Prune meets a full load of leather. Plus licorice and green tobacco notes, but also toasty wood and mineral notes that briefly remind the palate of the typical Versailles pencil shavings. In the finish, long-lasting, gentle bitterness from the leather, spice and wood flavors, which are given an almost aesthetic counterpoint by the dried fruit - because the often present heavy sweetness of the dried fruit flavors remains gallantly restrained here at first, before it takes its due space again in the finish. Even among the now numerous 1994 REVs a successful addition at the top of the spectrum."

"insane rev!!! Leather, plum, wood and floral notes, very nicely balanced. For me one of the better 1994 Rev bottlings, although this vintage is generally insanely good and balanced."

"Holy Moly! Fantastischer REV"

"REV-1994-Tasting on 12.10.2024 Here is my ranking (nose and palate impressions were each given a 50% weighting in the overall rating, in the event of a tie the length of the finish was decisive, as was the case with ranks 1-3, which were incredibly close together): 1ST RX12425 2ND RX121 3. RX11107 4. RX21851 5. RX12203 6. 11402 Attention, daily form should not be underestimated!"

"Absolute top REV! In contrast to the Rum Club minimal bitterness in the finish."

"A balanced creamy and intense Enmore! I like this one very much! He has that certain extra, which predestines him for a quiet evening enjoyment!"

"my new 94 Enmore REV reference! On the nose prune, tobacco, herbs. The relatively low ABV (compared to the RC and RA) is insb. on the palate not detrimental at all. A wonderfully balanced aroma with a long finish of prune and black tea."

"In the round with the three TheRumCask bottlings and the Nobilis 94 REV as opponents. For me, the 27-year-old from TheRumCask is a shade ahead. Whining on a high level, of course this is also a great bottling but unfortunately also the most expensive."

"A little comparison of two, 28yo REV... that will be nice 🥰. Here the first, from Distilia:Nose: totally round! Complex and intense. A real nose-pleaser. Strong spicy, dark and toasty aromas with lots of molasses and licorice, plus light maggi and dark, fragrant sandalwood. Alongside dried fruit, like apricot, plum and tart blackcurrant. Also neat polish and pencil shavings I find, as well as fine herbs. Just very good. 9.2Palate: deliciously complex and round. But also distinct but pleasantly bitter. Very woody-malty-roasty, cedary. Lots of tart molasses but with less licorice. Instead, again distinct and more pencil shavings. Some subtle dried plum and dried apricot. Instead, more burnt caramel and mocha. Also on the palate light herbs and cereals.In the finish remains the pleasantly bitter woodiness with molasses and plum. ABV also fits quite nicely. 9.2Super REV. Noble and expensive."

"Here, too, the profile of an old Guyana. Less dense in the mouth than on the nose. The finish is longer but reasonably discreet. Far from an exceptional rum for me, it falls short of my expectations."

"Dieser Rum bringt eine tiefe Komplexität mit, die von dunklen Früchten, feiner Würze und einer angenehmen Holznote getragen wird. Dabei bleibt er stets elegant und harmonisch, mit einer leicht öligen Textur, die den Gaumen umschmeichelt. Dieses gewisse Extra ist deutlich spürbar – ein Rum, der perfekt in die dunkle Jahreszeit passt. Ein prasselndes Kaninfeuer dazu ist geradezu optimal. Gerade noch rechtzeitig vor dem Frühlingsdurchbruch getestet. Danke an Gunnar für das Sample."

"For the most delicious of the three tasted REVs (tasted with Rum Cask and RA). Has convinced over the complete breathing time in the glass as well as in the mouth the most. Wonderfully integrated into a heavy sweetness aroma. Fair to say: the other two bottles were open significantly longer."

"Very interesting rev profile compared to what I'm used to. Violet meets reduced cola, meets licorice, sea salt dark chocolate and molasses, as well as pencil shavings and light anise and coffee notes, as well as rotten wood and tobacco. Overall me too pencil...Not quite mine but still exciting!"

"Ach wie gut diese alten REVs doch sind ! Wahnsinns Nase mit Dörrpflaume, Karamell, Kräutern, Tabak, Leder, Cola und Schokolade. Schöne Würze mit Holz und nicht zu knapp tolle Noten von Lakritze. Ein tolles Geruchserlebnis. Am Gaumen wunderbar aromatisch und würzig. Tabak, dunkle Schokolade, Dörrpflaume, Lakritze, Trockenfrüchte und gebrannter Zucker mit einer dunklen, röstigen Note. Dann Kräuter, Bleistift und etwas blumiges. Sehr ausgewogen und harmonisch. Der lange Abgang weiß bei einer tollen Komplexität mit Würze, Tabak, Schokolade, Dörrpflaume, Lakritze und Kaffee zu überzeugen. Dann klingt er langsam mit Leder, Schwarztee, Bleistift und geröstetem Holz aus. Ich bin hellauf begeistert ! Danke an @Gunnar Böhme für das Sample 😀"
