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?
Sehr süffig, elegant, der Alkohol ist super eingebunden.
First to note this rum following the raffle of March, thanks again Rum X and Jack Tar. Very good rum with maybe a little preference for the omega! But both are very good ✈️
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 Alpha Enmore 1988 - 1990 51,6% --------------------------------------- Nase: Runder, würziger, angenehmer/interessanter als der Omega. Alkohol gut eingebunden Mund: leicht rauchig, Vanille, ziemlich relaxed vom Alkohol. Leider hat man das Gefühl, dass der Rum zu weit runter reduziert wurde. Er schmeckt nicht wässrig, aber etwas "dünn". Fazit: Gut aber meine Erwartungshaltung war etwas höher.
