    "Extrem guter Versailles mit schöner Marzipan-Note! Blind Tasting Enmore 1990 by Alex: Ziemlich perfekt, intensiv am Gaumen, schöne Komplexität."

    "So the last 5 Enmores from Alex tasted his cool split again. All from the same vintage and quite similar in profile, although there are certain differences in my opinion. As a conclusion for me, not bad, but the profile is currently just not the one that completely picks me up."

    "Enmore 1990 Blindtasting Nr.8: Das ist mein 2.ter Platz von 8 im Blindtasting. Knapp hinter der Nummer 5. Von der Komplexität her, ähnelt er stark der Nummer 3, ist aber insgesamt etwas ausgewogener. Gefällt mir sehr gut"

    "Cross Tastinge across 12 bottlings of 1990 Versialles destilled Enmores. Looking at the cask strength / 50%+ ABV bottlings in the line up (CG, DT, Duchess, Greenheart I & II, RdL, Sponge, TWJ), all deliver on the classic Versailles notes: Pencil, herbs/anis, some continental fruits and a wet/moldy woodiness. Quality wise I don’t see an outlier tbh, all very enjoyable. Noticeable, however, is a very intense nose on the Sponge, which adds lots of resin and „woody“ notes to the mix,probably paying tribute to its (partly) maturation in wine casks. This is clearly outstanding out of the batch. Bonus points for the older Greenheart and TWJ for highest intensity on the (continental) fruit notes for me. DT and The Duchess gravitating more towards spicy notes in the mix. Same overall verdict for the palate. All rums in the batch are of high quality and there is no dramatic outlier (good or bad), except for the Rum Sponge. While I enjoyed the nose, on the palate the bottling is overwhelmed by wine notes. As for a lot of finished/double matured releases I just don’t see the point and here don’t like it particularly. Among the other bottlings: the DT is particularly nicely balanced with a pleasant sweetness working nicely with herbal and more darker notes. Very enjoyable. My favorite on the palate is probably the younger Greenheart (at least in this sitting). Almost as balanced as the DT but with a bit more anise and herbal notes for a bit more excitement. The older Greenheart is also very nice, with a bit less sweetness yet also very nicely balanced. TWJ and The Duchess are overall a bit more in the harsher side concerning alcohol integration, yet still very good. Very strong bottlings of the vinatage overall and a pleasure to have some side by side. Cheers to Alex for curating (most of) the tasting set! 🙌"
