Romdeluxe DDL Wild Series Rum Enmore No. 15 MEC 1988

Broad agreement here: this is a heavy, wood-driven Enmore that scores in the low 9s across the board, with only mild debate over whether the 1992 MECs edge it out. Expect dried figs and prunes, leather, oak and burnt caramel, plus that faint iodine-and-ash note the wooden Coffey still is known for. Long finish, and the 33 years show clearly.

The community says
  • Dried fig and prune
  • Integrated for 33 years
  • Long woody finish

... Enmore - drive distiller, now just a functional distillation device. Apparently the only wooden still in the world which is very popular. The Enmore rums have a flavour of ash, leather, heavy wood, which will delight especially the lovers of whiskey. And if in the traditional Guyanese way the producer adds a little molasses to the rum, you have a unique very distinctive and heavy rum in the bottle. One of my favourites.

One of my favorite rums I've tasted. I feared the long time in wood would do something to the taste, but it didn't; amazing taste! You can really feel this is a 33 year old rum. Rounded taste of burnt caramel, dried fruits and wood

08-11-2025 - Rate 9.5 Tasted this one long time ago. Very nice revisit. Tasted it alongside CDI 27 Enmore and Belllamy’s Enmore 1991. This one was my favorit. Bellamy’s and this one are close but RDL took 1 st. price tonight. Nose with dried figs and dades. Wood, leather and oak. Palate follows close to the nose. With a nice woody flavor. Long finish dominated by figs, leather and wood

Really good MEC! Without direct comparison, however, I would prefer the 92 MECs.

Très beau énmore sur la finesse. On retourve la lourdeur caractéristique et les arômes typique sans que cela ne soit écoeurant. L'équilibre pruneaux boisé est agréable. Les notes de thé noir sont agréables. La longueur est aussi impressionnante pour le degré. Peu d'amertume.

Vo vôni pečene alebo varene jablko dosť vyrazne. Jemna sladkosť s vôňou sušenych sliviek. Chuť prijemna hladka alkohol krasne integrivany. Sud nie je až taky výrazny skôr tu u mňa prevlada chuť sušeného ovocia a zaver by som opisal na taky stredny. Ale vynikajuci enmore

Demerara Distillers Ltd 

Avg Rating 7.8/10 over 250 Rums

Demerara Distillers is the company that ended up holding everything. As Guyana's only surviving rum maker, its Diamond plant runs the world's last wooden pot stills and the last wooden Coffey still alongside modern columns, draws 24 different marks from them, and blends them into El Dorado. It is also the reason most Demerara on the shelf comes from one address.
