    The Rum Nation Demerara 1990 is a versatile spirit from Guyana's Versailles distillery crafted using a Single Wooden Pot Still and aged for 23 years. With a distinct fruity aroma dominated by leather, prunes, roasted notes, and hints of vanilla, this rum offers a complex profile. On the palate, it presents sweet leather and port flavors complemented by plum and spice. Users appreciate its fruity nature and well-integrated alcohol content rivaling higher ABV rums. While some find the sweetness too intense, others enjoy its rich finish and balance. Versatile and inviting, this rum caters to casual sipping and connoisseur appreciation alike.

    Community Tasting Enmore 1990. No 4. Un rhum avec une couleur foncée, un nez de verni et de banane sur-mûre, de rôti, un peu décadent. Une attaque nette en bouche, pas diluée malgré l’ABV assez léger, des arômes disparates de cuir, de fruits. Un côté gourmand très agréable. Une finale longue, un peu amère, sucrée et heureusement avec une belle acidité. Le verre vide se révèle bien plus aromatique.

    Blindtasting Enmore 1990 Nr.4: Diese Abfüllung sagt mir gar nicht zu. Zu Süß, zu Fruchtig, offensichtlich gefinished (Portwein). Von einem echten Enmore bleibt für mich nicht wirklich was essentiell übrig. Schade

    Community Tasting Enmore 1990 VSG/MEV als Blindverkostung. Rum4: Deutlich dunkler in Farbe als Rum 1-3. Nase schön dunkel Fruchtig mit Pflaume, Dörrpflaume und Rosinen mit Mandelnite. Geöltes Leder. Lakritze und vielleicht Portwein. Im Antrunk etwas dünn aber lecker. Evtl. etwas süß… nasses Finish vielleicht. Viel Beerenfrucht. Leider etwas zu süß im Mund. Verkostet wurden: Rum1 = rx1560 Alambic Classic Rum 2 = rx3280 Cave Guildive Rum 3 = rx12797 RDL Rum 4 = rx 1432 Rum Nation Rum 5 = rx 5924 Duncan Taylor Rum 6 = rx 5423 Moon Import Rum 7 = rx 17311 Rum Sponge Rum 8 = rx 12427 Greenheart Mein Ranking: 8 > 7 = 5 > 6 = 3 > 4 = 2 > 1

    Cross Tastinge across 12 bottlings of 1990 Versialles destilled Enmores. Looking at the reduced bottlings (Alamein, RN, Moon). On the nose all can hold up predatory good with the higher ABv bottlings. The RN finis is well executed, while somewhat overwhelming the Versailles notes. Still nice. Alambic with a nice basket of continental fruits and Moon delivering all classic notes beautifully. On the palate all three are very approachable with RN‘s finish again being very noticeable and present - for me a bit too intense. Despite the reduction, the Alambic carries some sting while providing intensity. The Moon bottling adds quite some sweetness, yet also noctiable burnt notes in the background.
