    RumX Blind Tasting 8x Enmore 1990 Rum Nr. 2 Milde Nase, deutlich höherer ABV, was dem Rum spürbar mehr Komplexität verleiht. Schöne Noten von Schwarztee und Tabak, insgesamt kraftvoller und strukturierter als zunächst erwartet. Im direkten Vergleich überraschend schwächer als gedacht, weshalb ich meine ursprüngliche Bewertung nach unten korrigieren musste. Besten Dank an Alex für die Organisation!

    Blindtasting Enmore 1990 Nr.2: An der Nase recht verhalten und schwach wahrnehmbar..dezente Würz- und Kräuteraromen. Am Gaumen anfangs eine Süße und deutlich mehr ABV, was den Aromen zu Gute kommt. Der Abgang ist mittellang undklassisch auf der würzig kräuterigen Seite Edit: Beim gestrigen Blindtasting babe ich diesen Rum 0,2 Punkte nach unten korrigiert

    Getrocknete Aprikose, Lakritz, schwarzer Pfeffer, Anis, Holz, Röstigkeit - auch hier ist einiges los im Glas. Luft tut dem Rum gut, um die anfängliche Wucht etwas zu zähmen; dann entfaltet sich ein ausgesprochen spannendes Aromenspektrum, das sich sowohl beim Rauch als auch bei den Gewürzen immer wieder den Extremen nähert, nur um im nächsten Moment doch wieder in die schwere Süsse einzutauchen, die die gelben Früchte, Kandiszucker und Holznoten hervorholen. der Abgang ist lang und durchaus ein wenig feurig - das stört mich in diesem Fall weniger, weil es zum kraftvollen Gesamteindruck passt. Ein exzellenter Rum mit viel Ausdrucksstärke.

    Very good demerara stuff 🥃 The alcohol could be integrated better. Dried apricot, vanilla, wood, toasted in the nose. Anise, roasted, vanilla, pastries, oak, almonds in the mouth. Very round and delicious, but very spicy. The finish is long demerara like with some notes of the barrel(oak) burnt (demerara) sugar and vanilla. An astrigent(tanninis) felling. Later on there are some notes of mint and anise. Very delicious. I‘ll add some drops of water, maybe it shows up some more notes
