    8.1/10 20 reviews

    Having been invited to a friends today for an early tasting of some of his demerara collection.

    Everything fine and typical for an Enmore of this vintage until the finish where i can feel the wood a bit too much. A clear bitter and musty note (tannins, burnt sugar and wet wood) that you can get used to after the 3rd sip ;)

    This is so thick you have to chew it. Dark, musty where the many years in oak comes thru. Unfortunately the finish is too short.

    Really tasty, mature Guyana Rum!Nice heavy, dark and intense. The drinking strength suits the rum well.
