Emperieur

Nose: Fresh and herbal as well as cocoa, chocolate and wood, pleasing. Palate: A cocoa and chocolate bomb at the beginning, very intense, pleasing. Herbs still present to a lesser extent. Nuts, dried fruit and woody aromas mingle with it. Finish: warm, harmonious and very pleasing Conclusion: appealing due to its intense chocolate and coffee aromas, although these could be more persistent. Diluted a little too much. Above all, the freshness and herbal notes on the nose set it apart from the rest of the comparison group. A top rum.

Sehr guter, entspannter Versailles! Blind Tasting Enmore 1990 by Alex: Sehr gut, schöne Süße, etwas dünn, weniger Bleistift.

Community Tasting Enmore 1990. No 1. Un nez très frais, herbacé et floral. Avec de l’ananas, de la poire, de la figue et un côté gourmand. On est loin des habituels Enmore sombres et lourds. En bouche on retrouve la fraîcheur et la finesse du nez. Les fruits se développent et puis c’est déjà fini. La finale est plutôt courte mais des arômes fruités, frais et de l’amande restent longtemps en bouche. Le bois est présent mais dans la légèreté. Un rhum très féminin, agréable et sur la fraîcheur.

Despite the dilution, a very intense and complex rum! I would be really interested to know how the cask strength would taste here.

No.1 of the blind tasting of the 1990 Enmore: I perceive a lot of herbs and spices on the nose. The same goes for the palate, but the ABV is obviously quite low, so the aromas are not very intense. It's definitely too thin for me

RumX Community Tasting - Enmore 1990 (danke an Alex!) Ja, das Profil passt, die obligatorischen Bleistiftspäne und Kräuter sind da. Aber der ist zu dünn, zu schwach, wenig komplex. Das Schlusslicht der Verkostung.

In der Nase viel florales, Bleistift, Kräuter - ein wenig Trockenfrucht und dann etwa Holz. Geschmacklich ein weicher aber nichtsdestoweniger geschmackvoller Enmore, der sich nicht aufdrängt. Im Abgang würde man sich mehr Ausdauer wünschen.

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.

RumX Blind Tasting 8x Enmore 1990 Rum Nr. 1 schöner Auftakt, wenn auch etwas niedriger ABV, was zu lasten Komplexität geht. Noten von Grappa Trester, ohne Schnickschnack. Besten Dank an Alex fürs organisieren!

Many thanks to Alex for organizing the community tasting. Very interesting to have the different rums if the same year and profile, and I hope I will not need another 2 months to post about the last one here. Very light in color this first rum had a long time to breathe, and I added some drops of water. I find wood and malt notes dominating, the mouthfeel a bit thin (but, alas, it is not full proof). I get a bit initial sweetness in the beginning, a hint of fruit and a lot of malt towards the finish. The nose is... Very shy. Wood and a bit of sour alcohol fumes. This first one ist not a favorite of the bunch, not bad, but also a bit one dimensional, unfortunately. I believe it lost some of its potential due to the dilution.

Danke erstmal an Alex_Kunath für den Split, sonst hätte ich mich wohl nie mit sovielen 90er Enmores auseinander gesetzt. Bin gerade zwiegespalten ob die zwei ersten, die ich probiert habe, wirklich so meine Welt sind.

Guyana Tasting 1990 by Alex. Alle Rum sind 30 Minuten an der Luft gewesen, gleiches Recht für alle :-) Die Nr1 trifft nicht gerade meinen Geschmack. In der Nase als auch am Gaumen habe ist der Alkohol sehr präsent. Geschmacklich kommt er recht flach rüber.
