Enmore RA Guyana Rum MEV 1990

Opens properly after an hour. More barrel influence than the Our Rum & Spirits. Nice apricot note which harmonizes with the typical pencil profile. Great 1990 Enmore. I like it very much!

Tasted as part of the RA online tasting for the RumX lottery 06/2023. In the nose anise, pencil shavings, a slight sweetness, but above all fruit, herbs barely perceptible, reminds me surprisingly of the last Worthy Park of RA. Balanced on the palate, but here the herbal notes now come out and gain the upper hand over the fruit. I wonder if this is due to the one hundred percent continental aging. A fine dry rum, of which, however, one sample is enough for me.

Very spicy and powerful taste, with fruity notes of apricot, notes of leather and herbs - no sweetness that could be expressed here - The aftertaste is long and dry with spice. I would like to express my gratitude to Rum Artesanal for the flavor sets 🙏🏻

RumX Community Tasting with Rum Artesanal for the June 2023 Tasting Lottery: Crisp Versailles from 1990, great profile that is absolutely on a par with other bottlings from this vintage. Pencil shavings, aniseed, wood, dried apricot, subtle citrus notes - a little sweeter on the nose, then very balanced on the palate, dry and accentuated wood, spice and barrel notes. Great release.

A successful bottling, but it doesn't quite meet my expectations! It lacks a little complexity and intensity!

#4180 I hope I step on no ones toes whens I say that this one was disappointing. To me a very light version. I think age caught up with it and thus most of its soul was gone.

Hier ein schöner Rum Artesanal von Heinz Eggert. Sehr fruchtig in der Nase, aber auch Anis und Kräuter sind zu riechen. Das meiste verfliegt dann am Gaumen, nur Kräuter und die Fruchtigkeit bestehend aus Aprikose bleibt. Des weiteren dann noch holzig.

Lots of herbs, not much else. Alcohol bites out a little at the back.

Nice one👌🏼 Super balance, very harmonious rum. Fits from the nose to the finish.

A very fine representative of its kind. Edit: Tasted again in peace and individually. I don't know, maybe the other rums at the tasting made me rate it a little better. I can't understand the good rating I gave it back then and have had to make a significant downward correction.

RumX Lottery June 23, RA online tasting. A beautiful 33 year old Versailles. I already tasted it at the 12th GRF, but today with a little more rest it comes into its own much better. Nose: intense, round and delicious. I like it very much. Pencil shavings and pencil lead are the first things that come to mind. Behind that a tart sweetness of molasses, licorice and slightly sour. Could also be wood acid. Dark roasted, but not too woody and bitter. A slight honey sweetness rounds off the finish. 8.7 Palate: intense and spicy. Again clearly pencil shavings in the foreground. Slightly bitter with treacle and liquorice. Sweetness from the fruit bread with this candied orange peel and candied lemon peel. Malty, roasted and herbal at the end. 8.5 Takes a while, but then has a very nice profile. The almost 60% are very well integrated. I really like this pencil aroma.

Without a direct comparison, I would prefer the ORS and the old RA. I'll have to compare them soon...

Together with the MEC of FRC at home after the Rumfest tasted again in peace. Yellow fruits and especially a pronounced pencil note, fruity and slightly alcoholic finish, only unfortunately a little short, as I find the whole rum, even for his age, aromatically a little weak on the chest, but for it nice and round. 200 for half a liter I find a bit expensive, even if the rum is quite tasty here.

Tasted at the 12th GRF: Solid Enmore with a passable basic taste. However, it lacks power, complexity or at least a few rough edges.

Unfortunately, it doesn't suit me at all. There are clearly better enmores... Even if this Mark MEV is new to me. Find him quite exhausting medicinal and bitter. Alcohol could also be better integrated...
