Enmore RA Guyana Rum KFM 1991

Wow! This KFM beats them all. Instead of an oak forest, you have here rather pencil made of oak. KFM typical bitterness is present, but so mild that people who don't like bitters should be able to tolerate it. A complex spicy-herbal flavor journey.

A very nice KFM. Intense and kind of heavy on the flavour. Kind of a bit dark as well and I really like that. Love the roasted/smoky wood with light spice and fruit topped with some leather.

Wow. Impressed me a lot. My first KFM. Great spice. Whole new world of flavors. My to understand what is meant by the pencil. Classified it as a blend of roasted flavors and spice. The mint and wood are great integrated. Unfortunately horny. Look forward now to the KFM of Flensburg as a comparison.

1st:the rich herb and dense thickness impress a lot A fantastic journey, with wood forest smells setting the tone for adventure, but very balanced and full (especially compared to other KFM). The herbaceous aromas combine with the spices to create a unique "pencil" flavor, and the toasty aromas accompany the whole process. It's like being in a lumberyard, or a barbecue, maybe in a chemistry lab. amazing! Without a hint of excess sweetness, it unexpectedly has a touch of good dry gin/old Tom gin. It might lack some fruity sweetness(or pleasure of candy? ) and be a bit strange, but the flavors are so concentrated and complex. Unusual rum, but also excellent.

The barrel has obviously done a great job, the bitter tones are pronounced, but not quite as exaggerated as other KFM. Love it of hate it!

A beautiful nose oscillating between dark notes of old barrel, roast, prunes and a fresh side with vegetal, menthol and lively alcohol. The same aromatic framework is found on the palate, with menthol surprisingly refreshing the old wood. The finish is long, with the same precarious but brilliant balance. The empty glass tells a story of old wood. A rum that might be considered on the edge of balance, but which I find fascinating.

Complex & demanding. I like it

I tasted this rum with the 2021'er Flensburg KFM (RX10871)Color-wise there is no difference: deep reddish brown with reddish reflections in the glass.Nose is a little more closed compared to the Flensburg with a stronger tendency towards herbs, menthol and wet tobacco.On the palate very heavy not quite as much sweetness (burnt sugar). The alcohol seems stronger in contrast to licorice and tannins, which are a tad stronger no Flensburg.In the aftertaste, the picture is very similar: not quite as bitter, milder and fading with a pleasant sweetness.A sophisticated exception rum, which is an idea more harmonious and accessible compared to the Flensburg.

A big thank you to Thomas for this awesome sample 😛😛🤤🤤 This is really great cinema here, a powerful, heavy, complex KFM! I left the rum to rest for around 30-40 minutes so that it could fully develop. The alcohol is very well integrated, although it is very sharp on the nose.

Excellent rum. Very woody, but not too much. Doesn't get too bitter. Great herbal, minty notes alongside a spicy prune. Intense and concentrated. Mint and espresso linger long and licorice comes in on the finish. I really like it.

Guyana in Vollendung

More balanced than the KFM from Flensburg. Great, intense nose. On the palate then come nice bitter notes. Very special, but awesome! ☺️🥃

Wow, a nose to fall in love with. Intense, complex, full-bodied. Very woody and spicy, but delicious. Old oak toasted, malty toasty. And yet very fruity with dried blood orange and sweet-tart dried currant. Maple and treacle. And again very dark with some Maggi and light licorice. Could smell it forever.The palate is as I expected from 31: strong, woody, toasty and spicy. Strongly bitter at the very beginning, but complex roasty flavors catch up quickly. Mocha, wood acidity, tobacco, maggi and some umami. Again the dried orange and currant, plus prune. Something dull like pencil shavings is there too. Great complexity.The bitter on the palate doesn't bother me at all. I think the strong flavors are great. Great rum

Simply delightful.... An all around great KFM... beguiling and complex from nose to finish! That's what I like in a good rum! If the alcohol was still a tad better integrated, then I would have granted him two points more

Wow, what a drop! KFM is always a double-edged sword for me, because I simply do not like bitterness / woodiness in rum. But what Rum Artesanal has conjured up here yet, thrilled even me! An incredibly powerful nose that makes the whole room smell intensely of dark, ripe plums. Smelled up close then rather dried plum, dried currants, orange, herbs and also a trace of pencil, as befits Enmore. Particularly noteworthy here again the bitter notes, ranging from molasses and licorice to burnt caramel to old oak, resin and really old barrel, and confirmed especially on the palate. Here these predominate, so that the fruitiness fades into the background, which I personally like less. The finish stays in the mouth forever and lingers long with notes of licorice, old barrel, mint and again some pencil. So I imagine it to lick out an in old barrel! ;-) Overall a class rum and for me one of the best KFMs, if not the benchmark so far. The nose would even get a few points more from me, but the palate I have to deduct one, two points, because it is just a bitter KFM. In total, however, it is simply fun!
