Nobilis Enmore No. 12 EHP 2002
Most tasters land on "decent but underwhelming" here. The nose is quiet and citrusy — orange peel, floral, dried fruit — then the palate swings to herbs, chamomile tea, leather, wood and toffee. Several expected more from a 19-year Enmore and found it thin, dilute and light on intensity, though a long airing wakes up the fruit for some. Alcohol is very well integrated.

How does Nobilis Enmore No. 12 EHP 2002 taste?
Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Quiet, herbal Enmore that shows its age too little Well-integrated ABV and a refined herbal-tea finish, but many find it restrained, thin and closed — the 19 years barely show. A quiet Enmore that split the room.

While I was quite disappointed with the freshly opened bottle and had to deducte a couple of points from my initial rating, a few weeks oxidation really help this Enmore. Alcoholic bite is gone and fruitiness is much more intense alongside a mild sweetness. Therefore score is up a couple of point again 😅

Franconian Tasting Gang Unfortunately below expectations. Would have expected a little more here, as the Nobilis bottlings are generally very good. It seems that something went wrong with the cask selection this time.
Review by cigares
Well-integrated alcohol on the nose, with tapioca and a hint of vegetable soup. With leather and young wood. The palate is balanced with brown sugar aromas, but the flavors are neither very deep nor very broad. The rum is a little narrow and diluted. The finish is refined and long. I'm a little disappointed by this rum, which promised a lot. It's a far cry from El Dorado's early Demerara series.
Review by Tschusikowsky
At the second attempt, it tastes much better and more suitable to me. Subtle approaches between smoky and burnt in combination with herbs and some chocolate, plus fruit.Edit: RumX Advent 13.12.22Mmmh. Difficult...The chocolate led me first to Belize, later to Foursuare. But somehow there were still floral/floral notes.Taste slightly metallic, chocolate, licorice, fruit, nutmeg, relatively dry, finish get. Apricot and peach.Alcohol top integrated. Very fine.mich treibts somehow to Guyana. Also since the rum is relatively low volume. Had estimated an Enmore 88 from Nobilis. 👍🏼
Review by Thunderbird
A very restrained nose! Even after a long time it does not really open... surprisingly, I also perceive something solvent, which I can not assign to the Enmore so at all, as well as the floral side after geraniums, whose scent I do not like!The palate fits more into the profile, which is also not very pronounced!The rather boring finish I felt as relatively short!This Enmore seems to me somehow unbalanced and inconsistent!Today in RumX Day 13 I have him the 2.te times in the glass!On the whole I remain with my opinion, however, he is now more pleasing to me and gets therefore 2 points more
Review by mto75
Almost filigree on the nose, reminds me spontaneously of Riesling Smaragd from the Wachau. Yellow fruit, candied, somehow also floral. More power on the palate, with barrel, roasted notes, herbs, black tea. It doesn't really inspire me...
Review by Galli33
#13th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: floral, apricot, citrus, oak, roasted Mouth: dry, herbal, tea, cammomile, butterscotch, apricot, oak, licorice, barrel, vanilla Finish: mid long, oak, woody, tannins, toffee, minty, cammomile, licorice This is a solid rum, nothin special. Could be a good daily driver, but the price is way too high. Alcohol is integrated very well. I think this could be from Guyana, Enmore KFM 🤔 ca.60% approx. 20 Years
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Nice Enmore pretty well balanced and the ABV has been well integrated. Lovely mix of flavours and the price to quality is pretty good.
Review by Jakob
Durchaus mit aromatischer Komplexität - Holz, Leder und Würze treffen auf relativ frische Früchte und grüne, kräutrige Noten. Weiss zu gefallen, aber mir persönlich fehlt die Schwere.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Enmore EHP passe-partout, qui se veut très calme au nez avec des notes épicées, des fruits secs et des agrumes, des arômes floraux et d’herbes et un soupçon rôti. En bouche, l’attaque est très souple et fait preuve de beaucoup de tendresse. On oscille entre les notes de tabac, de camomille, de thé, d’herbes et les saveurs florales, les fruits secs, les épices, le cacao, le cuir et le chêne pour un ensemble homogène et structuré. L’alcool est bien intégré, peut être même trop dilué. La finale est très marquée par les notes herbacées, la camomille et le thé, les notes rôties, le cuir, le boisé et les épices, avec une légère amertume. Un bon Enmore, traditionnelle et sans extravagance.
Review by Jarek
Tasted together with the 1996 Enmore El Dorado Rare Collection and the 2002 Diamond from Romdeluxe. In direct comparison, I found it the least appealing of the three. Somehow too little of everything.
Review by RumTaTa
Die Nase startet frisch und mineralisch und erinnert mich an Obstbrand. Am Gaumen dann irgendwie "dumpf". Ich hatte mehr erwartet und bin zu sehr von den Enmoreabfüllungen der 90iger Jahre ausgegangen. Dieser Enmore sagt mir nicht so richtig zu.
Review by MarcT
First Impression: very fruity on the palate, as well as being mild and a bit sweet. Now after having a long breathing time: good nose, but sometimes a bit shy. The nose is more fruity, the palate has more herbs. It appears to be sweet but is not, really. The finish ist more spicy and woody. A very nice Rum.
Review by HenryL
RumX Adventskalender 13.12. Krasse Kamillennote die lange anhält. Insgesamt ein sehr „heller“ Guyana Rum
Review by Pavel Spacek
Wow! Nice Enmore with sweet profile! Unfortunately just mild taste, I preffer more significant taste. ... Enmore - drive destilerka, nyni uz jen funkcni destilacni zarizeni. Patrne jedine drevene destilacni zarizeni na svete, ktere se tesi velke oblibe. Rumy Enmore totiz maji prichut popelu, kuze, tezkeho dreva, coz nadchne zejmena milovniky nakourenych whisky. A pokud tradicnim Guyanskym zpusobem prida vyrobce do rumu trochu melasy, mate v lahvi unikatni velmi vyrazny a tezky rum. Jeden z mych oblibenych.
Review by Christian Rudt
War blind hier irgendwo Richtung Belize unterwegs. Also auf dem Holzweg. Holz gibt es hier auch verstärkt am Gaumen. Geruch eher Zitrusfrüchte und aus der floralen Ecke. Am Gaumen dann die eigentlich Belize-typische leckere Toffee Note dazu grüne und gelbe Früchte und ein Tee Aroma das auch das Finish dominiert.
Review by Serge
Verkostet im RumX Adventskalender am 13.12.22 Sowohl in der Nase als auch am Gaumen sehr zurückhaltend und recht fad. Von der Reifung scheint auch nicht viel beim Rum angekommen zu sein. Mir insgesamt zu wenig Intensität.
Review by Mike H.
Not the kind of Enmore I like as the grassy flavour is a little too overpowering to my taste.
Review by Tom Buteneers
RumXmas 2022, #13, blind: I have absolutely no idea today to be honest. I’m more on board with @Chris2302 (Travellers with DOK finish) I don’t think it’s very old because of the color. It’s airing for 45-50 minutes now, but the alcohol still dominates the nose for me. But I had 3,5 hours of sleep and a really busy day, it’s half a miracle that I’m still awake at this moment. My senses are a bit numb 😅 Not that impressed by the profile to be honest. Remains quite closed. Pretty dry. Not remarkable for me.

The nose is rather unspectacular and discreet. The taste doesn't really pick me up either. In my opinion, you don't notice the rum's long storage time at all.
