    How does this rum taste?

    The Demerara Rum Enmore Still, distilled in 1988 at Guyana's Enmore Distillery and bottled by Bristol Classic Rum, has aged for 20 years and offers a nuanced fragrance dominated by vanilla and cherry, with undertones of spice, oak, and salt. Notably, it presents a leather-forward taste intertwined with licorice, anise, and a classic oakiness, complemented by an oily texture. Though characterized as having a thinner body due to its 43% ABV, users highlight its distinctive profile, marked by dry and sweet licorice notes, balanced with marzipan and fruity undertones. Despite mixed opinions on its dilution, it remains a divided, yet compelling choice for aficionados.

    How is this rum rated?

    7.9/10 26 reviews

    A pretty good rum also a bit thin but price to quality is pretty good. The nose is woody with fruits, spices and a light leather note. The palate is oily and woody with fruits, spices, leather and licorice. The finish is medium long and woody with spices and raisin.

    Very dry, very intense for 43%, leather, pencil, marzipan. You either love it or hate it. I think it's pretty good!

    Despite the reduction, the rum expresses itself after a little opening. The crème brûlée and the apple in head. A rather long finish on the apple

    Dominantly licorice-sweet. Still fruity on the finish. Very nice rum, but unfortunately too flat, too thin due to the dilution to 43%
