“Definitely on par with the predecessor 94 REV from Bellamys. Flavors a little more cassis, more burnt caramel, dark chocolate and rosemary / lavender, as well as dried fig and grapefruit peel. Also very tasty but really hard to say which one I like better!Flavor-wise this one is a bit more intense and has the longer finish due to the more %, but the other one is a bit more complex if you let it and has the nicer nose. Both at eye level!”

“Less intense nose than its predecessor. On the palate, however, the higher percentages do it very well. Relatively little herbs and licorice for a REV - I like!”

“Eine Nase zum verlieben: dunkel fruchtig, würzig und holzig-röstig. Habe als erstes gleich Bleistiftmine und Bleistiftspähne. Dann eine angenehme Essig-Note mit feinem Orangenaroma. Leicht säuerlich, getrocknete Johannisbeere, Cola. Sehr vollmundig mit einen Hauch Schokolade. Am Gaumen wunderbar vollmundig und komplex. Würzig, röstig und holzig. Auch hier leicht Bleistiftspähne am Anfang, dann dunkel malzig, schokoladig-Kakao mit etwas Anis und Muskat. Getrocknete Orangen und getrocknete Pflaume treffen auf Brioche. Hinten Leder und Tabak. Bleibt auch im Abgang angenehm holzig-röstig-würzig. Eine toller, alter Enmore. Für mich, als Demerara-Fan ein wahrer Hochgenuss.”

“For me not the strongest 94 Enmore! In my opinion, the wood notes predominate and suppress the other flavors that can be perceived behavior!”

“Cracked open the next 3 from my present. This is a really nice complex and well balanced rum from the famous Enmore still. Near perfect between roasted wood and the other elements. Price to quality is really good.”

“joins the ranks of the great 94 REVs seamlessly. A similar profile to the RC Ed 22, with neat dried date, butterscotch and chocolate on the nose, perhaps a touch sweeter than the RC (without the direct comparison). The palate similar, but with more old barrel, mocha and leather, providing a pleasant counterpoint to the sweeter notes.”

“This REV hits my sweet spot. It was an immense pleasure to smell and taste this Demerara and every time I sample such an exquisite rum I tell myself that Demerara rums are probably what I like the most along with the better Caronis. As is often the case with a great Demerara I could nose this rum for hours. Roasted, chocolate, leather, toffee, woody, delicate spices and extremely round. I get the same in the mouth, add some dried fruit and coffee and the result is a top bottling. I think that I’m in love. 😅”

“On the nose, the rum comes so sweet-nosed and without any deterrent Alk appearance that children would drink it without hesitation - so be careful when children are around! 😉 I smell not only permanently dark red fruits, also like pickled in syrup (papaya), but in the meantime also dry coal dust. The latter impression solidifies on the palate: I taste concise pencil shavings (yet this is not PM! 😳)! Exciting, but unfortunately somewhat at the expense of the deep dark red fruitiness and the malt impression of the nose.Will only say that this rum is with me nose winner - and what a!Briefly a word to the one year younger REV brother: The is similar, but because of the lower ABV expectedly thinner and weaker on the chest.”
