    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.

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

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

    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

    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.
