Silver Seal Enmore Demerara

"Super complex! Great Versailles with a deep, woody, slightly bitter, spicy Black Tot note! Tasting on 13.10.23: unfortunately there is virtually no other 86 Enmore for comparison. Charles has solved the mystery behind the rum. In terms of taste, this must be a KFM! It's quite similar to the Flensburg 91, but much fruitier due to the shorter ageing period. An excellent rum that is second to none!"

"A very fine greeting from the old enchanted forest. More precisely: from the forest floor overgrown with berries. Yes, that must be a KFM! I only knew it from 1991, so I poured myself some of the RX7441 for comparison. Et voilà: clear similarity. However, the Silver Seal is much deeper, rounder and fruitier. A really great drop (for KFM lovers like me)!"

"90 points. All the classic Enmore markers are present with a lovely tobacco note in both nose and mouth. Add some earthiness, coffee, leather and a pleasant bitter note and you have a very good Enmore."

"A dream for every sniffer! In the nose first massive solvents. Once you've absorbed them, delicate notes of wood, licorice, spices, dried fruit, etc., come towards you underneath. Exciting! In the mouth a lot of wood, a lot of spices, overall very, very complex. An iconic bottle."

"Class Versailles. For me, just behind the RA 1985. I like very much. Alcohol perfectly integrated, very quaffable by the. Good umami, has properly stimulated the salivation."

"A harmonious, well-balanced Enmore, with fruity heaviness on prune and raisin, abundant spice on licorice, anise and cinnamon, intense oak and herbaceous, tobacco and earthy notes that come through strongly. Notes of baked caramel, toast and cola add roundness to an already enchanting profile. The palate has great depth, with lovely heavy, fruity notes. From aromatic herbs to dark, roasted notes, spices (salt, licorice, winter spices) and cola, molasses and baked caramel, this profile boasts a splendid, complex structure that will delight fans of the genre. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish is long and ravishing. The overall profile is the same as on the nose, with roasted and woody notes, spices and dried fruit, with more herbaceous and earthy notes in the background. The finish glues the teeth together to prolong the gustatory pleasure. A superb Enmore, for which it would be interesting to find rum of the same vintage to compare at a higher level."

"This is a very nice Enmore. We'll balanced and intense at the same time. Nice partly heay roasted wood notes in very good balance with the dried fruit and leather. I noticed that the licorice and chocolate becomes more intense in the empty glass within an hour."

"Wow. What a Versailles. An overwhelming nose. Super complex with notes of licorice, pencil, barrel, herbs and caramel. A great taste. Perfectly integrated alcohol with a pleasant honey sweetness. Coffee, leather, dark chocolate and raisin. And a wonderful finish with lots of caramel. An outstanding taste experience."

"zum Jahresbeginn ein toller gereifter Demerara. An der Nase Rosinen und Sherry, Tabak, Kräuter, und alles irgendwie eingerahmt von ‚Oma‘s altem Kleiderschrank‘. Der Gaumen ledrig, röstig, leicht bitter. Der Abgang wiederum würzig, schön lang ausklingend mit Kaffee und Karemellsüsse."

"The nose is very complex and has a lot to offer. The palate is fresh and quite tobacco. The finish is long and slightly bitter. This rum succeeds in the tour de force of starting from a profile that I might not have liked and making me find it delicious. Everything is well mastered and balanced. The sides of the Versailles that I might not like (herbs and bitterness) are perfectly proportioned and melted into a very pleasant whole."

"Tak to je parádní plnění. Plná chuť, skvělé!"

"Einer der Besten Versailles überhaupt für mich. Erstaunlich nahe am FRC KFM 1991-2021, aber vermutlich auch eher ein KFM. Aber noch etwas geiler und geschmeidiger."

"wow! A complex, deep and heavy rum. An endless finish, the wooden notes and bitterness of dark chocolate covers the mouth. The nose is dominated by dried plums, rasins and wooden notes while on the palate I find deep and intense molasses, espresso, dark chocolate, wood. Amazing stuff"
