Velier Enmore ELCR 1995

Excellent Demerara from Velier! Perfectly balanced on the palate and the over 60% simply conveys flavor without being too edgy.

The best enmore I have tasted so far!A sublime taste!An endless finish!Just one word: incredible!

Update: Three months after opening the sample, the rum is still strong and aromatic. A wonderful rum. Elegant, but at the same time dark and strong. Significantly darker and more bitter than the ED 1996 ... and more complex. In addition to a beautiful profile with oak, vanilla, apricot, orange zest, toffee and glue, dark malt, raisins, cedar wood and aniseed waft across the nose. On the palate, the pleasing basic profile is complemented by bitter, burnt mocha, cocoa and fruit in dark syrup. Strong!

... The Old Velier Demerara rum is the best thing you can taste in the rum world. The rums were aged in the tropics for several years by mistake and nobody refilled the barrel. The Andel tax was 90% or more, which is why the taste is especially full and intense. Even though it is an extra expensive product, I recommend to taste a rum from this series at least once in your life.

Für mich einfach ein toller alter Demerara Rum. Den Alkohol finde ich einfach super eingebunden. Die Komplexität ist einfach nur wunderbar und der Abgang ein Gedicht. Schön diesen mal probieren zu können. Wären die Preise mittlerweile nicht so hoch, würde ich mir eine Flasche besorgen.

Not my absolute favorite of the Velier Demeraras, but still high quality.

Fantastic first introduction 31/10/24: Refined in the nose, reminding of Barbados. Evolves in the mouth, great balance between the different aspects in the profile. Quite round.

A magical Enmore. The nose is complex, with fruity aromas merging with the dark, sweet profile of Demerara, followed by glue, toffee, floral and pastry notes that form a structured, balanced and delicious whole. On the palate, the dark side is again present, with spices, coffee, mocha and chocolate, while caramel, toffee and sugar notes are not far away, with wood and fruit (dried fruit and apricots) rounding out this superb profile. The rum is very round, complex and balanced, the alcohol very well integrated. The very long finish is slightly bitter, with notes of leather and licorice, malt flavors, spices, dried fruit, a hint of freshness and a slight sweetness. A sublime rum, but unfortunately a victim of its own success.

I love these super high quality old demeraras from Velier.Beautiful intense and harmonious nose. Old cedar, malty toast with intense tart-sweet plum jam and cherry. Dark caramel and sweet and sour, licorice molasses. Some dry vanilla powder at the back. Nicely spicy, slightly towards Maggi.Palate: full-bodied and complex. Very malty and toasty. Unexpected fruitiness towards dried date with grape and plum but all in treacle. Sweet but strong wood acidity. Kind of buttery with fruitcake. Wants more!

I have made a bottle kill on one of these very recently and I would have loved to have a backup bottle. The nose is fruity and full of spice and young oak topped with glue/varnish. Resting this one is very important. The palate is both intense, complex and well balanced. A tad less fruity but you do get burnt sugar with oak in there as well. The finish is very long and warm with a woody vanilla/toffee outing.

Extremely intense. Already in the nose there is a pile of smoked wood, which then turns into an endless experience in the mouth. I would love to come back to this one sometime if you get a chance to taste it!!! Wonderful!! Edit. Eventually my friends and I executed a bottle.

Very different from other Enmore I've tasted yet. Way more round with some pastries, vanilla, coconut and caramel. Very complex with a magnificent alcohol integration. Best Enmore I've ever tried at the moment 💘😋

Ein dunkler und kräftiger Demerara Enmore Rum der richtig Spass macht. Alkohol ist wirklich perfekt eingebunden. Der Rum wirkt dadurch fast schon weich und elegant. Trotzdem volles Geschmackserlebnis.

Great old tropical Enmore and my first 1995. Very tasty and round but also quite spicy and bitter. I like the el dorado 1996 enmore much better overall and it's also a bit more complex. Nevertheless, an absolutely exceptional Enmore and a great opportunity! Thanks Oli! ❣️

Superbe, merci à Freddy de A’Rhum pour la dégustation de cette quille exceptionnelle !
