Distilia Enmore Guyana Rum (Horses) 1985

A real dream of a rum. Super complex from nose to finish and yet not too overloaded, but extremely harmonious. The typical Guyana markers dominate, with eucalyptus adding a certain freshness. Dried plum, but also tropical fruits, leather, tobacco, wood and black tea are perceptible in varying strengths from nose to finish. Burnt sugar provides the sweetness, with a hint of caramel; candied fruit on the finish. Very light esters and some varnish on the nose and palate. Alcohol? - You just don't feel it at all, it's so well integrated. Unfortunately, this makes the finish a little shorter than desired, but it's still terrific!

Very special, but a dreamlike, typical 85 Enmore profile. Lots of pencil, dry, clear barrel influence, marzipan, rather astringent on the finish.

Typical Versaille profile from 1985: the expected pencil shavings dominate the picture, but are flanked by spices, tea and subtle fruity notes. The wood and the ageing reveal themselves with a slight astringency, without leading to too strong bitter notes. An excellent Versailles representative, somewhat more harmonious than the Artesanal from the same vintage, which is even more expressive in its mineral pencil aromas - a matter of taste as to which release has the edge. For me, a duel at eye level.

Ode to Enmore 1985 Greenheart For this enmore horses There are rums that speak, and rums that whisper in layers, revealing a new secret with every moment. And then there was Enmore 1985 Greenheart reborn in this horses. A monument of time, wood, and craftsmanship. From the moment the cork is free, it breathes the soul of ancient forests: pine, cedar, and eucalyptus rising like memories from centuries-old greenheart wood. A hint of petrol and mineral depth adds a raw, almost mystical character, while fresh herbs , sage, parsley, chives ,drift through this aromatic woodland like bright green accents. On the palate it unfolds slowly, with the dignity of a spirit that has waited 36 years to tell its story. A soft spiciness carries tea-like bitterness, earth, and tobacco; then that silky, thin oily texture emerges, refined and deliberate. Notes of anise, liquorice, pepper, and a touch of vanilla weave through noble, understated wood …gently toasted, never overwhelming. Honey,pear, molasses, and caramel glide forward like warm memories, rounded by subtle tannins and the bitterness of nuts. The finish lingers like an echo: resinous, slightly medicinal, touched with seaweed and salt as if the ocean itself pauses to say goodbye. Everything melts into a long, calm exhale of wood, spice, and dark sweetness. The Enmore 1985 is not a rum you simply drink. It is a rum you encounter, a spirit shaped by a wooden still, carried by time, refined into balance and depth. An ode to tradition, to complexity, to the patience required to create something truly exceptional. A rum that never shouts, but in its quiet elegance becomes immense. Thx to bottle the last part to be history

Alcohol well integrated. Dream rum.

J'ai rarement ressenti cette aromatique dans un rhum, même un enmore. L'impression de rentrer chez un antiquaire. Un côté bois précieux, mêlé à des notes de cire d'abeille, de graphite. Quelques arômes pâtissier, de dattes et d'épices. Atypique, mais tellement bon !!!
