How does this rum taste?
Rum Sponge No. 24 is a finely aged 32-year-old rum from Guyana's Enmore distillery, selected by Decadent Drinks. Distilled in 1990 using molasses and a pot still, it boasts a robust cask strength ABV of 53.6%. Noted for its leather, barrel, and coffee aromas, the rum unfolds on the palate with dominant berry and barrel notes, enhanced by a roasted, smoky finish. While some appreciate the maturity and unique finish of this limited release, others find the overpowering wine influence takes away from the traditional Enmore profile. With only 197 bottles available, its exclusivity adds to its allure for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a distinctive sipping experience.

Blindtasting Enmore 1990 No.7: This bottling seems to have a finsh again... and is again not my taste. Too fruity and too artificial. The actual Enmore profile is thereby suppressed But I think that this one will also find its friends
Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live à Paris en 2024. Du caramel, du boisé, des pâtisseries, le tout avec une légère acidité qui équilibre ce nez assez prenant. Je ne surprend à rester longtemps au dessus de mon verre. En bouche, les notes de caramel ont pris une légère amertume, ce qui n’est pas pour me déplaire. On retrouve les pruneaux et les fruits remplacent le côté pâtissier. La finale est évidemment longue avec un boisé typé vieux bateau à voiles. Quelques fruits et un léger côté poivré. Pour moi le meilleur rhum de Sponge aujourd’hui.
Cross Tastinge across 12 bottlings of 1990 Versialles destilled Enmores. Looking at the cask strength / 50%+ ABV bottlings in the line up (CG, DT, Duchess, Greenheart I & II, RdL, Sponge, TWJ), all deliver on the classic Versailles notes: Pencil, herbs/anis, some continental fruits and a wet/moldy woodiness. Quality wise I don’t see an outlier tbh, all very enjoyable. Noticeable, however, is a very intense nose on the Sponge, which adds lots of resin and „woody“ notes to the mix,probably paying tribute to its (partly) maturation in wine casks. This is clearly outstanding out of the batch. Bonus points for the older Greenheart and TWJ for highest intensity on the (continental) fruit notes for me. DT and The Duchess gravitating more towards spicy notes in the mix. Same overall verdict for the palate. All rums in the batch are of high quality and there is no dramatic outlier (good or bad), except for the Rum Sponge. While I enjoyed the nose, on the palate the bottling is overwhelmed by wine notes. As for a lot of finished/double matured releases I just don’t see the point and here don’t like it particularly. Among the other bottlings: the DT is particularly nicely balanced with a pleasant sweetness working nicely with herbal and more darker notes. Very enjoyable. My favorite on the palate is probably the younger Greenheart (at least in this sitting). Almost as balanced as the DT but with a bit more anise and herbal notes for a bit more excitement. The older Greenheart is also very nice, with a bit less sweetness yet also very nicely balanced. TWJ and The Duchess are overall a bit more in the harsher side concerning alcohol integration, yet still very good. Very strong bottlings of the vinatage overall and a pleasure to have some side by side. Cheers to Alex for curating (most of) the tasting set! 🙌
