    mit den 25 Jahren, die der Origin R im Fass verbracht hat, zählt er eher zu den ‚jungen‘ Vertretern. An der Nase habe ich Karamell, kräutrige Würze, Dörrpflaume, Graphit. Am Gaumen altes Fass, Schwarztee, gebrannter Zucker. Bei den vielen exzellenten 88er Enmores spielt er nicht ganz oben mit, dennoch ziemlich gutes Teil!

    Das ist ein Enmore ganz nach meinem Geschmack. Intensiv, holzig und würzig… An der Nase noch recht verhalten, entwickelt er am Gaumen ein intensive Aroma mit einer anfangs schönen Karamellsüße. Schnell wechselt er jedoch in eine kräftige dunkle Würze von Piment, Lakritz, Leder und Holz. Etwas Rosine gesellt sich dazu. Das passt und der Abgang zieht sich schön in die Länge .. so muss das sein 🤩

    03.03.2018 A wonderful day with my friend from Singapore at the whisky.dk event in my hometown. Notes: A very dark rum and a bottle hidden under the desk and it only came out when one commented on the flavours in their glasses. Notes: and a long finish. Very light medicinal notes in the profile.

    Hat mich bei der ersten Verkostung beeindruckt, habe mir deswegen ein Sample besorgt (danke, FischeJ). Heute konnte ich den Rum in Ruhe verkosten und er überzeugt mich nicht mehr so wie beim ersten Mal. Ja, schön Kaffee ist zu schmecken. Aber auch viel zu viel nasses Holz. In meinen Augen hat der Rum seinen Zenit leider überschritten, er war zu lange im Fass.
