Rum Nation Enmore Small Batch Rare Rums 1997
Highly praised as a complex, funky Enmore with spot‑on sherry influence, rich dried fruits and esters, great mouthfeel and impressive alcohol integration that rewards patience and a bit of dilution.
Fans of high-ester, sherry-finished rums who enjoy glue/solvent notes, dried fruits and dry woody spice, and don’t mind working with a few drops of water to unlock complexity.

How does this rum taste?
Funky Enmore with spot‑on sherry
If you like funky Jamaicans or high-ester Demeraras with sherry finishes, this is a must-try: it delivers big glue, fruits and wood, but needs patience and a little water.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV or sharp solvent notes, and purists expecting a classic, softer Enmore Demerara profile without sherry influence.

Nose: Burnt molasses. Taste: Funky esters, but sweet - almost vinous - and easy to drink. Spices (cinnamon, cardamom, pepper) and caramel.
The spiciness kills everything. Even after 1 hour of "breathing". That is a pity. I still wonder why alcoholic cask strength produces such a pungency. This is much better integrated in whisky. Not a delicacy. If you like glue, you should drink glue. Of course, you can't blame Demerara Distillers for bad spirit. Too many aldehydes! Methanol? Formaldehyde? Preliminary explanation: maturing conditions at high temperatures. Water evaporates more than alcohol.
Thx to Gunnar for this Sample of this awesome guyana! Nose: Glue, nail polish, solvents, some fruits (banana, orange peel), old leather, anise, oak, roasted almonds. Reminds me on a Armagnac. Mouth: round, perfect balanced, fully bodied, sherry, solvents, a lot of dried fruits, old leather, caramel, roasted almonds, anise with perfect integration of the abv. Finish: quite long were you can clearly pick the old guyana notes… with a looooooong licorice note. Yummy
OMG this one is wierd. Full strength, full taste but something like Beast compared to other Caronis. ... Enmore - drive destilerka, nyni uz jen funkcni destilacni zarizeni. Patrne jedine drevene destilacni zarizeni na svete, ktere se tesi velke oblibe. Rumy Enmore totiz maji prichut popelu, kuze, tezkeho dreva, coz nadchne zejmena milovniky nakourenych whisky. A pokud tradicnim Guyanskym zpusobem prida vyrobce do rumu trochu melasy, mate v lahvi unikatni velmi vyrazny a tezky rum. Jeden z mych oblibenych.
