    Auch wenn es nicht drauf steht, muss es Enmore sein.

    Trockener Enmore. Aber noch nicht überlagert. Schöner Rum. Tolle Schokonoten und viel dunkles Holz. Passt hervorragend in die Vorweihnachtszeit.

    Auf diesen Guyana war ich echt gespannt… und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Die Nase ist anfangs schon sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig. Ich nehme eine Aroma von Maggi/vergorenen Früchten und leicht sauerer Artischocke wahr… Am Gaumen verteilt er sich wunderbar cremig mit einer anfänglichen Süße, die sehr schnell den würzig/holzigen/Espressonoten weichen muss. Dunkle Schokolade gesellt sich hinzu. Der Alkohol ist top eingebunden. Eine Bitternote ist ebenfalls dethent vorhanden. Der Abgang setzt sich in gleicher Weise fort! Top-Rum

    Finally time for a dram after a busy Birthday. Barreled at my birth-year so of course it had to be this one today 🥃 Heavy in the nose, where I got oak, sweetness and tropical fruits. Taste of fruits, tobacco, wood and a long ripeness in the aftertaste
