    "This is Versailles as he likes! Despite the long storage, the wood is not too dominant, herbs, leather, vanilla, anise and covertly some dried fruit are perceptible. In addition, clearly also pencil shavings. Creamy and soft, the alcohol is perfectly integrated. Only the complexity is missing, but that is complaining at a high level."

    "Quite on the herbaceous side. Nice intensity with well integrated alcohol. Nicely balanced 1990 Versailles. Fun to drink!"

    "Versailles style in its purest form. Pencil shavings, barrel aromas, licorice, green pepper, plus some anise and discreet fruit as well as a hint of vanilla sweetness - very pleasing bouquet and quite impressive how balanced the barrel influence still is here, despite the very long storage time. The alcohol integration is also impeccable. This is indeed pure Versailles, although this is somewhat at the expense of aromatic complexity. A great rum!"

    "A continental Enmore with a heavy hand on spices and herbs (thank you, Versailles). The nose oscillates between spices (anise, licorice, vanilla, pepper) and woody notes that veer towards leather and incense on the one hand, followed by herbs, eucalyptus, dried fruit, tobacco and pencil shavings on the other. An original and pleasant profile, but lacking a little complexity. The attack on the palate is herbaceous to the extreme. Lots of herbs (rosemary, thyme, eucalyptus) and spices (aniseed, licorice) that draw on the bitterness of leather and toasted wood, with a hint of tobacco and pencil shavings. While the Versailles style is instantly recognizable, the dilution spoils the pleasure. The alcohol is well integrated, but a little more gourmandise would have been nice too. The finish is of decent length, with the same grassy, spicy, slightly warm, caffeinated and cocoa-flavored tendency. Dried fruit and tobacco are also present on the finish. A rum typical of its time, far from bad, but lacking the overall depth to reach the top."
