Nice blend of two different Enmore vintages. Components of the blends are three barrels of EHP Marques (once 1988, twice 1990), which a slight minerality, which reminds me of Versailles, is not missing. Apparently, both Alpha and Omega bottlings contain the same blend, which honestly doesn't really make sense to me - playing with different nuances would have been the more interesting option here...? Whereby I must state that the present result of the blend absolutely knows how to convince. An exquisite rum. Or rather two. Or not?
Ich probiere gerade den Alpha und Omega im direkt vergleich und ich finde den Omega ein Tick besser als den Alpha. Für mich kommt da etwas mehr Frucht zur Geltung.
Kleines Vergleichstasting: 1. Sample Eleven Enmore 20 years 50,6% 2. Jack Tar Alpha Enmore 1988 - 1990 51,6% 3. Jack Tar Omega 1988-1990 51,6% 4. Sample Eleven Albion 9 years 57,2% Jack Tar Omega 1988-1990 51,6% ------------------------------------------- Nase: weit weniger ausgewogen als der Alpha, leicht alkoholisch, Klebstoff, Gewürze, Holz. Mund: Im Mund dann doch anders als von der Nase erwartet. Zwar etwas mehr alkoholisch als der Alpha, dafür aber insgesamt dichter, komplexer, reifer und vor allem mit einer tollen Würze, die ich von Guyana erwarte. Gefällt mir vom Geschmack in jedem Fall besser als der Alpha. Alkohol ansonsten sehr gut eingebunden, weniger rauchig als der Alpha, dafür deutlich mehr Tannine aus dem Holzfass aber auch mehr Süße. Abgang: mittellang bis lang Fazit: Ein sehr gelungener Rum mit Vorteilen ggü. dem Alpha. Mein Dank geht an Rum-X für die Jack Tar Samples.
#4089 In my mind this one is better and has a bit more punch than the Alpha. Maybe it's just because I just had the Alpha, but I tried nosing and sipping the side to side and there are small differences. This one also deserves a place on my shelves and the profile is very similar to the Alpha. This one also draws really nice curtains in and I can pick up caramel in the empty glass.
