Jack Tar Enmore Alpha 1988-1990

 Little fruit much spice briefly summarized. In the nose raisins, rubber and something mentholiges. On the palate similar game only comes the woody part to it. Nothing spectacular ... Thanks to Adrian for sharing the sampler👍

 #4088 This is a nicely balanced rum with a warm palate and comparing it to the Omega a bit lighter though they should be almost the same. I love the wood and smoke that is there but not dominant which usually happens in rums this age. Good ABV integration and my shelves are well worth a bottle. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has more smoke and caramel.

 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?

 Doesn't blow me away. Interesting profile, but not complex enough for me. Am but very grateful to be allowed to try the rums thanks to the raffle.

 Die Nase erinnert mich doch stark an einen Versailles. Honigsüsse, gelbe Früchte, Bleistift, Kaffee, Kräuter, Tabak und weisse Schokolade. Ingesamt guter Grundton, es fehlt mir jedoch an den Details in der Vollendung. Leicht bitter/astringent.

 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 ✈️

 Insgesamt sehr trocken, adstringierend, rund, aber nicht ganz stimmig. Mir fehlt es an Körper, Komplexität und Fruchtnoten.

 Sehr süffig, elegant, der Alkohol ist super eingebunden.

 I have received this sample by using my RumX points (thanks Oliver!). I am a huge fan of rums from Guyana. This rum is a really distinctive rum with its own twist, which is nice to experience. You either like or dislike it. This is especially the case for the 'Omega'. Personally, I appreciate the Alpha more than the Omega. Howecer, i do like the El Dorado Enmore 1993 and 1993 a bit more. Nevertheless, really happy to try this rum.

 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.
