Velier Enmore ELCR 1995 16yr 61,2%

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

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

"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!"

"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 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. "

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

"Uno dei rum più buoni che abbia mai bevuto!!!"

"does the knowledge about the epic brand Velier influence our tasting? I love the demerara rums, their depth, the taste of dried fruits and the influence of the cask. This is a nice rum, on the nose leather, wood, tobacco and dried plums, but quite subtle. The palate has caramel, the plums and the cask. But is it above 9.0? Not for me. It lacks complexity. Compared to the silver seals demeraras I recently tried it gets less points as it even finishes average"
