“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?”
