    How does this rum taste?

    • Rich roasted and woody profile
    • Notably complex and layered
    • Satisfying long, spicy finish

    Deeply woody and complex, Demerara Rum MEV showcases standout notes of roasted oak, licorice, and anise, layered with vanilla and dried fruit. RumX tasters find its powerful profile, substantial ABV, and evolving spice especially appealing—though a touch assertive for some. A worthwhile adventure for connoisseurs of robust, smoky Demeraras.

    "Blindtasting Enmore 1990 Nr.2: An der Nase recht verhalten und schwach wahrnehmbar..dezente WĂŒrz- und KrĂ€uteraromen. Am Gaumen anfangs eine SĂŒĂŸe und deutlich mehr ABV, was den Aromen zu Gute kommt. Der Abgang ist mittellang undklassisch auf der wĂŒrzig krĂ€uterigen Seite Edit: Beim gestrigen Blindtasting babe ich diesen Rum 0,2 Punkte nach unten korrigiert"

    "RumX Blind Tasting 8x Enmore 1990 Rum Nr. 2 Milde Nase, deutlich mehr ABV, was deutlich mehr KomplexitĂ€t zulĂ€sst. Schöne Schwarztee und Tabak. Ich war erstaunt, wie sich diese AbfĂŒllung im Gesammtfeld schlĂ€gt und musste meine bisherige Bewertung nach unten korrigieren. Besten Dank an Alex fĂŒrs organisieren!"

    "Danke erstmal an Alex_Kunath fĂŒr den Split, sonst hĂ€tte ich mich wohl nie mit sovielen 90er Enmores auseinander gesetzt. Bin gerade zwiegespalten ob die zwei ersten, die ich probiert habe, wirklich so meine Welt sind."

    "Cross Tastinge across 12 bottlings of 1990 Versialles destilled Enmores. Looking at the cask strength / 50%+ ABV bottlings in the line up (CG, DT, Duchess, Greenheart I & II, RdL, Sponge, TWJ), all deliver on the classic Versailles notes: Pencil, herbs/anis, some continental fruits and a wet/moldy woodiness. Quality wise I don’t see an outlier tbh, all very enjoyable. Noticeable, however, is a very intense nose on the Sponge, which adds lots of resin and „woody“ notes to the mix,probably paying tribute to its (partly) maturation in wine casks. This is clearly outstanding out of the batch. Bonus points for the older Greenheart and TWJ for highest intensity on the (continental) fruit notes for me. DT and The Duchess gravitating more towards spicy notes in the mix. Same overall verdict for the palate. All rums in the batch are of high quality and there is no dramatic outlier (good or bad), except for the Rum Sponge. While I enjoyed the nose, on the palate the bottling is overwhelmed by wine notes. As for a lot of finished/double matured releases I just don’t see the point and here don’t like it particularly. Among the other bottlings: the DT is particularly nicely balanced with a pleasant sweetness working nicely with herbal and more darker notes. Very enjoyable. My favorite on the palate is probably the younger Greenheart (at least in this sitting). Almost as balanced as the DT but with a bit more anise and herbal notes for a bit more excitement. The older Greenheart is also very nice, with a bit less sweetness yet also very nicely balanced. TWJ and The Duchess are overall a bit more in the harsher side concerning alcohol integration, yet still very good. Very strong bottlings of the vinatage overall and a pleasure to have some side by side. Cheers to Alex for curating (most of) the tasting set! 🙌"
