Silver Seal Enmore Demerara Rum 1977

Intense spectrum of predominantly cocoa, oak, caramel, tobacco and spices. This is accompanied by subtle mineral notes, hints of dried and yellow fruit and roasted nuts. The aroma spectrum of the heavy sweetness is almost perfectly pronounced, especially on the nose, from caramel to vanilla and fully ripe mango. In the mouth, the high alcohol content is unfortunately a little too noticeable and somewhat overshadows the overall profile. In the end, I feel there is a slight lack of contrast to this heavy sweetness, such as dark fruits or more nuanced spices. Nevertheless, this is still a great distillate.

This rum needs no comment. 😋😋 😋

Lots of molasses, wood and roasted flavors form the Enmore into a great complex rum with a very long finish. The alcohol could be a little better integrated.

Incredibly dense and complex aromas on the nose - lots of wood, cherries and roasted aromas. A fantastic, dark chocolate note on the palate, spicy and an exciting (bitter) orange note. There is also smoke and a strong bitter note from the long maturation in wood. Eternal finish. A real firework of aromas!

I love going to this bar because they have a huge selection of top shelf and super rare rums. This Enmore is just up there with the best Enmore releases. Fruity with nice smoky wood notes and lovely spices. The caramel is very light and more obvious in the empty glass.

Old, dark Guyana profile with wood, leather, cocoa and lots of tobacco. But anything but dusty. Immediately after pouring, the nose is unexpectedly fruity with prunes - but there are also fresher notes of cherry, orange, even some mango and pineapple. There is also vanilla, varnish, dark chocolate and cinnamon. Also some smoke. The pleasantly high ABV brings the aromas to the nose with plenty of steam. Darker and roastier on the palate with a slight coffee bitterness, a fine sweetness of burnt sugar, soaked prunes, ... a poem.

oh my god! Explosion 💥 of plum compot on the first nose, then burned wood and caramelized walnuts. ABV is almost not realizable. Cherry flavors rise after the rum is resting a while in the glass. Palate: Oh, I love these massive falavors. Your grandma’s plum jam forgotten in the oven. Burned, a bitterness from the long time it has been in the cask, oily, it really fills the mouth with all these flavors. And these flavors stay there for an endless finish. Not as complex as the top caronis or these old Long Ponds, but massive. Every flavor, the burned caramel, the plums and cherries,the wood is quite dominant and just massively intense. What a rum! Glad to have a bottle in the shelf. And it still lingers in the mouth after a long time….

Mal wieder ein geiler Split vom Daniel. Sehr sehr geiler Demerara Rum. Die lange Reifung im Fass machen sich durch holzige und würzige Einflüsse gut bemerkbar ohne dabei negativ aufzutreten. Sehr angenehme Süße im Geschmack und absolute Explosion der Aromen im Mund. Wirkt sehr lange nach.

Das erste mal einen so alten Demerara verkostet. Allein die Rahmendaten sind schon erstaunlich. Von Anfang an merkt man, dass man hier einen sehr alten Rum im Glas hat. Verbranntes Holz, Pflaumenmus, Rosinen, Gewürze und Schokolade sind nur einige Komponenten die ich herausschmecken konnte. Die Konsistenz ist schon leicht cremig. Dazu hat der Rum auch noch ordentlich Dampf was einen langen Abgang gibt. Also warum nur 90 Punkte? Ich würde aufgrund des Geschmacksprofils immer eher einen guten Caroni vorziehen. Aber es ist und bleibt ein großer Rum mit dem man eine kleine Zeitreise machen kann.
