How does this rum taste?
Silky, elegant old Enmore MEC
If you enjoy old Enmore like KFM/REV but want something softer and more sippable, this delivers the classic dried-fruit-and-leather profile in a very polished, relaxed way.
Beginners expecting sweet, simple rum or drinkers who dislike pronounced oak bitterness and subtler aromatics compared to punchier high-ester, higher-ABV bottlings.

Nice, heavy demerara. Alcohol is cleanly integrated and the notes of wood, leather and spices are nicely balanced by light fruit notes. In direct comparison with other releases a bit too shy in expression, a little more spiciness would have suited the rum well - so the heavy sweet notes remain without significant counterpart. Given the quality of this heavy sweetness, this is undoubtedly grumbling at a high level; for an even better rating, however, lacks precisely at this point still some aromatic variety.
Un échantillon récupéré au German Rum Festival en 2024. Un nez de caramel mou avec un léger acétique, des fruits tropicaux très mûrs et un bois dominant. L’entrée de bouche est marquée elle aussi par le bois avec une amertume liée au passage prolongé en fût. De beaux arômes de pruneaux et d’autres fruits régatent avec la mélasse pour arriver au niveau du bois. C’est un rhum d’une très belle longueur mais à nouveau trop dominée par le bois et l’amertume qui y est liée. Une belle acidité redonne un équilibre à la fin. Le verre vide, avec un boisé moins dominant est superbe et les fruits s’y font sentir.
Yet another good one from this bottler, unfortunately I couldnt get a bottle so I'm on the hunt for one at the moment. The nose is wonderfully fruity with spices all very well balanced actually. I also find brown sugar and nice gentle wood. The palate is oily and silky in a way. The rum draws nice curtains in the glass. Again fruity like the nose with caramel and a hint of leather. In consecutive sips I get rubber, tar and wonderful oak. The finish is very long with earthy oak and clove with a hint of licorice.
