How does this rum taste?
- Rich vanilla and oak aroma
- Smooth and easy to drink
- Nice wood notes and complexity
The El Dorado Single Still Enmore rum, distilled in 2009 from molasses, comes from Guyana's renowned Demerara Distillers Ltd. Known for its aromatic blend of caramel, vanilla, and oak, the rum presents a warmly vanilla-centric, oak-influenced palate with hints of dark chocolate and roasted nuts. However, many users find its 40% ABV restricts the depth and intensity they desire. Ideal for those beginning their Enmore rum journey, the rum's easy drinkability is praised, but more experienced enthusiasts may seek greater complexity. Despite mixed reviews on its concentration and price point, the rum offers a window into El Dorado's single still series, appealing to connoisseurs attracted by tropical aging characteristics without overpowering strength.

"Well I was very exited to try those single still releases… this is exactly what I would hope for DDL released on a larger scale (and hopefully at a half reasonable price). All three show the common characteristics you would expect and love about DDL‘s stills. No need for blended in the barrel / finishes / obscure leftover casks. Unfortunately, the reduction to 40% ABV is basically a crime against humanity 🙈 While the noses are surprisingly intense, on the palate all three releases are way to thin to deliver the profile competently. Nevertheless all seem in a good place after 12 years of tropical aging and as there are also limited higher ABV bottles available there is a chance for genuinely amazing OB release from DDL in the future. Fingers crossed." - 8.0/10

"Delicious nose with lots of vanilla, caramel and crème notes, nice wood as well as coconut, pepper, citrus, chocolate. Not overly intense but really very good after 13 tropical years. On the palate, unfortunately - as expected at 40% - very thin and watered down. Still with the same flavors but unfortunately disturbingly and irreducibly thin. Really very tasty on the nose ... would certainly have been a hit as a >55% version and, in my opinion, more appropriate for the target group of single still / single mark enthusiasts." - 8.0/10

"Quick taste at the Rhumfest. Once again, I have trouble understanding the El Dorado "policy". It sells for twice the price of 15ans. Basically, it's very close to Enmore 96 but reduced to 40% (sawdust, molasses). It's perfect for discovering a simple still without increasing the alcohol content, but the price isn't quite right. And for the enthusiast who wants the typical Enmore product, the price won't get in the way, but the rum clearly lacks intensity... In short, it's a good rum that's easy to access, but if you're not a Guyana specialist, you'll take a 15-year-old without hesitation to indulge yourself at a nice price, and if you're a hard-core enthusiast, you'll have to pass on it because you'll be missing something." - 7.9/10

"Heute mal im Vergleich drei El Dorado von 2009. Port Mourant RX13844, Enmore RX13123 und Versailles RX14577. Leider sind alle auf 40% runter reduziert, sonst hätte etwas sehr gutes entstehen können. Mir persönlich etwas zu dünn. Ansonsten durchaus gelungene Abfüllungen für den Einstieg ins El Dorado Universum, wobei ich den El Dorado 12,15 oder 21 hier vorziehen würde." - 7.6/10
