Enmore El Dorado The Last Casks (Black)

"Liquid Paulaner Spezi!😃Very tasty, even if I would never have guessed enmore here, let alone port mourant. Very intense sweet fruity notes almost like a spezi (cola + orange). Keyword cola cacher!"

"A rum tasted at Rum Depot in Berlin. A sweet nose of candy sugar, marzipan and tart apple. The palate begins by expressing the acidity sensed on the nose, then the pastry side and a noble bitterness crown this beautiful evolution. The finish is clean, with yellow fruit and noble bitterness, and is quite long. The empty glass is on wood and marzipan."

"heute die drei El Dorado Last Casks im Glas (red, black, gold label). Der schwarze ein 98er PM / Enmore / Tri-Canada blend. An der Nase kräftiger als der rote Bruder, es kommen mehr säuerliche Früchte, Piment, Karamell, und etwas in Richtung Lakritz oder Schwarzbrot. Am Gaumen Fass, röstig, sirup-artige Süße. Ranking: schwarz, gold, rot."

"#4264 16.09.2023 Whisky N Rum Show 2023. I didn't try that many rums on site, but I did manage to taste the last two ot the Last Casks. I still think they're too expensive compared to what you get. This one is nicely balanced and medium fruity with roasted wood and spices. The palate is oily with an added coffee note. Medium finish with light fruit and caramel. Draws really nice curtains in the glass."

"Middle place within the new trio. I like the really remarkable note of quite dark chocolate."

"Wunderbarer schwerer Rum, an der Nase noch verhalten aber am Gaumen dann vollmundig und intensiv, dickes eingekochtes Pflaumenmus mit karemelisiertem, leicht angebranntem Zucker. Eiche und Bitterorangen zum Nachklang. Sehr guter Guyana Rum die 50% sind genau richtig."

"8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get is really nice with typical dark notes like dried fruits with prunes, dates, raisins, dark molasses with black tea, roasted wood notes with burnt sugar, caramel, leather, dark chocolate, spicy vanilla and some orange with varnish flowing hand in hand. On aeration, more citrus is noticed, red fruits, nuts and creamy toffee from wood and brioche. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is very pleasant with dark molasses and dark, roasted wood notes like dark chocolate, caramelized, burnt sugar, coffee, leather and nuts, as the fruits are dried and orange.Very quickly these pleasant balance is demolished with too strong tannins and a petrol note.Luckily a second wave of rounding notes arrive like brioche with honey, nuts, vanilla, dried apricots, prunes and coconut, as the molasses is a bit vegetal, herbaceous. 8,3:The finish is long, a bit imbalanced with dry, tannic wood, luckily dark notes come to help rounding it, new notes to be tasted are cola and marzipan, perhaps dried figs..."

"This one is already clearly better than its weaker brother. The Demerara profile is at least recognizable. However, it is quite sweet, almost seems sugared to me. In this respect it is not for me"

"Beautiful, deep color, very oily. Smells very good, somewhat spicier and more tart than the Gold. Warm, strong, very (too) round. I suspect that some sugar has been added here. Let's leave out the "a little"...🎃🎃🎃 Full-bodied and spicy in the mouth. Sweet.🙀 Long finish, slightly tart at the beginning. A very good, too sweet and very drinkable Demerara sipper. PLV 👎, the Rare Collection is simply in a different league."

"Nice aroma but the taste could be more complex. I also expected a longer finish. This is quite spicy and woody. After breathing there are more fruits"

"This release of the three-series also does not convince me. Nose and finish again Ok, but sour-bitter-chemical disaster on the palate."

"Somewhat more intense than the second 98 Last Cask bottling, because overall rounder and more pleasing. Here, too, there is a lot of Demerara-typical aromas around oak, chocolate and sweet fruit flavors. Overall, however, the dilution is not an advantage here either. Pleasing, quaffable, but not a bottling that could raise the pulse of the Demerara nerd."

"This is Guyana. It's sad to be told that rum like this from Guyana won't be available again."

"The 2nd of the 3 Last. Another wonderful age, 24 years tropical. Nose: very complex and dense, almost a little closed at the beginning. Great dark-sweetish, fruity-woody and spicy aromas. Here again the pleasant sweet glue with polish and maple syrup Tropical, with coconut and papaya, but also dried apricot, dark cherry, blackberry. Slight acidity from dried redcurrant or a dash of red wine. Milk chocolate and plenty of vanilla from the bourbon barrel. Very round. 8.9 Palate: oh, interesting. Dark-roasted and malty-sweet, but when the rum enters the throat, there's a sour, sharp and dull undertone, which is a little irritating, but then dissolves deliciously. What remains is passion fruit and chocolate, orange and fatty pecan. This gives it a slightly bacony taste. Great flavor curve, fun. 8,6 Everything actually fits together here. The alcohol is well integrated for me, the fullness of the aromas is great, the sample is empty before I can decode everything... the acidity is a little annoying, but that doesn't matter. PLV fits."

"(Labeling error on the samples so I don't know which 98 I'm tasting, the diamond or the enmore. The enmore is plausible, but so is the diamond 😅) The nose is pleasant: coconut, vanilla, cooked cane sugar, cask, borderline a little minty freshness put very light. . Then it evolves with the arrival of citrus fruit. On the palate, it's good, but not very complex and a little bitter in the end. This is what prevents it from rising to the level of its Sheldon/Albion/CBH brothers, who are clearly above it."
