Enmore El Dorado Rare Collection EHP

 Surprisingly fruity, fresh enmore! Very unusual, almost Spanish in style! Raspberry, mint, orange peel, glue and plum on the nose, less wood than expected. then fig, light coconut, raisin and wood and grapefruit on the palate. in the finish the raspberry comes back with mint, grapefruit peel, bitter orange, tannins and black tea notes. plus slightly charred barrel notes and really balanced! one of the best enmores so far! You could almost blind pack it with foursquare or Antigua... Really cool stuff... I think it's fantastic. Absolutely underrated!

 Excellent Demerara rum that sails in the slipstream of its big brothers from Velier. Here too: complete tropical maturation, wonderful sweetness, elegant fruit aromas, wood and spice. Excellent integration of the alcohol. Very round, drinkable - a top representative of the EHP Marques.

 Excellent rum, priced lower than the Skeldon El Dorado making it more affordable for me.More toasty than the Skeldon, but perhaps slightly less balanced. Finish, again, below expectations.

 A beautiful tropical ripened demerara to enjoy. Heady nose with lots of stickiness, you can smell an entire evening on this. Great warm feeling in the mouth. My favorites from the Rare Collection: Diamond, Albion and then this Enmore.

 Insanely brilliant nose 😋 Lots of fruit meets tobacco, chocolate and caramel, with some wood and spice in the background. This is right up my alley. In the mouth it veers more towards spice, chocolate and toasty flavors, but all very balanced and poised. Lingering caramel and chocolate notes linger, followed by dried fruit and very noticeable raspberry. Compared to the ED Albion, probably more fruit overall, but less dark chocolate and not as toasty. Price is still quite good in this segment.

 One of the top Original Bottlings coming out of DDL. While this one does not have to fear a comparison with some of our beloved Velier bottlings, recent DDL OB Release seem not to hold up unfortunately. Always a pleasure to revisit this Enmore.

 An already complex nose with, in no particular order, wood, citrus, caramel and vanilla, spices and glue, barrel, prunes and leather. On the palate, the attack is frank, with bitter wood and caramel. This is followed by an incredible quantity of aromas that coat the mouth cavity, giving the distinct impression that the flavors are increasing rather than slowly diminishing. An exceptional evolution on the palate, as aromas become more complex and deeper. The finish doesn't really stand out on the palate, and is incredibly long. A rum I love for its incredible evolution on the palate.

 A powerful, intensely aromatic Enmore. The profile is dark and delicious, dominated by typical aromas of spice, licorice, oak, chocolate, coffee and caramel. Fruits (tropical, dried, orange, cherry), solvents and glue add real olfactory depth. An elegant Enmore that's bold enough for the nostrils. The rum retains its power on the palate, but also shows subtlety in the aromas. There's a dark side of dark chocolate, tobacco, mocha, walnuts and caramel, but also a pronounced spiciness, vanilla, woodiness and roastiness typical of Demerara. The rum is gripping on the palate, complex, greedy and rich. The alcohol is very well integrated, despite the strength. The finish is very long, carried by a roasted, even smoky, chocolatey, dark and bitter profile. The raisin and walnut flavors make their presence felt, adding a little roundness. Paradoxically, a hint of menthol makes its appearance and gives the final touch to this liquid masterpiece, which clearly stands out from other Enmore vintages.

 Franconian Tasting Gang Edit: at the tasting we tried some El Dorados like this one, as well as the Albion and Skeldon. The conclusion: you can't go wrong with any of these bottlings. In contrast to the Velier bottlings, these are still available at affordable prices and the difference for me is only minimal. Whereas this one didn't appeal to me personally.

 Revision 9.11.24, an upgrade to 9. Delightful, it is delicious. 8,5: On the nose, the first notes we get are yellow fruits with tobacco, leather, nicely roasted with caramelized burnt sugar, some solvents and woody. Fruits are now red with cherry, prunes, figs and becoming dry and the wood is toasted. Aeration brings some herbal notes with cereal, darker side of this rum as charred wood, roasted nuts, licorice, chocolate, cocoa, walnut some confectionery and candied fruit and finally becomes just a bit metallic and smoky, there is also some menthol. 8,6:On the palate, the first impression is a syrupy, very fruity and spicy rum with yellow, red and then dried fruits. It reminds us on bourbon.The spices are sweet and warm. The wood is toasted and rum becomes more roasted, burnt with caramelized burnt sugar and some metallic notes. It is round and balanced. Chocolate, cocoa, nuts and some orange peel emerge. 8,8:The finish is very long, balanced, elegant with dried fruits, red fruits, caramelized nuts, chocolate, toasted wood and roastedness...🙂..

 Today "only" 86 points. Maybe it's my form of the day, but the rum seems a bit thin to me overall, although it is quite drinkable. Will definitely give him a second chance.Update 04.11.2022:Strange rum. Or my daily form is very fluctuating. Today, in any case, the rum does not seem thin to me as the other day, but only sharp. I guess I'm not warming up to this rum somehow. Or with this Enmore brand EHP?I leave the 86 points now stand, the rum can nothing for my labile perception. 😉

 Another superb rum from El dorados all tropical matured rare collection, very complex, quite fruity to me. I've never had the privilege of trying a Velier Demerara but trying this makes me want to get my hands on some even more, If even only to prove that these rare collection series rums are very underrated!

 Excellent. A superb rum, very greedy and pastry. A lot of pleasure to taste it.

 Sehr lecker und wirklich eine gute Runde besser als der 93er Direktvergleich mit der Rare Collection: Nach CBH, aber knapp vor Albion. Dann Skeldon

 I love it! Sweet and deep at the same time! Woody and fruity with a touch of coconut. Makes you want to find a bottle
