Distilia Enmore (Versailles) Greenheart REV 1994
The pencil-shaving note is what catches people off guard here — that classic Versailles wooden-still signature sits right alongside deep dried plum, tobacco, leather and dark chocolate. This 1994 REV drinks dark and savoury, with wood and gentle bitterness balanced by dried fruit. Several tasters call the 50.2% a touch soft for the style, but almost nobody minds — the alcohol is beautifully tucked away.
The community says- Deep dried plum
- Beautifully balanced
- Alcohol well hidden

Aggregated from 60 community reviews.
Dark, woody old Versailles with dried plum One of the loved 1994 REV bottlings — dark, woody, plummy and remarkably balanced, with the alcohol barely showing. A few wanted more power at this proof, and the pencil note isn't for everyone.

Review by Werni
Wow, what an intense heavy nose, a drought plum in a cola glass on a flower meadow with fine herbs in between. Could sniff it forever. Also in the mouth very intense, the drought plum pulls through to the end, in addition noble wood, spice and a fine sweet / bitter note. Absolutely class. Guyana is and remains my favorite. Thank you dür this wonderful gift. 😘😉
Review by Andi
Ja wie fange ich an, wirklich ein hervorragender Tropfen. In der Nase Leder, Pflaume, Holz, Kräuter, Würzig und eine Cola Note. Am Gaumen dann richtig schön dunkel, Dörrpflaume, Holz, Tabak, eine leichte Bitterkeit, etwas röstiges und Bleistiftspähne. Einfach hervorragend! Exzellent!
Review by Jakob
Great cinema. Prune meets a full load of leather. Plus licorice and green tobacco notes, but also toasty wood and mineral notes that briefly remind the palate of the typical Versailles pencil shavings. In the finish, long-lasting, gentle bitterness from the leather, spice and wood flavors, which are given an almost aesthetic counterpoint by the dried fruit - because the often present heavy sweetness of the dried fruit flavors remains gallantly restrained here at first, before it takes its due space again in the finish. Even among the now numerous 1994 REVs a successful addition at the top of the spectrum.
Review by Johannes
Absolute top REV! In contrast to the Rum Club minimal bitterness in the finish.
Review by mto75
my new 94 Enmore REV reference! On the nose prune, tobacco, herbs. The relatively low ABV (compared to the RC and RA) is insb. on the palate not detrimental at all. A wonderfully balanced aroma with a long finish of prune and black tea.
Review by DomM
Excellent stuff - top notch bottling of the 94 REVs vintage imho. Delivers on dark, woody, herbal and fruity notes on the nose as well as on the palate. My only critic here is the relatively low proof, which manifests in a bit less power on the palate versus other bottlings.
Review by Mirco
insane rev!!! Leather, plum, wood and floral notes, very nicely balanced. For me one of the better 1994 Rev bottlings, although this vintage is generally insanely good and balanced.

REV-1994-Tasting on 12.10.2024 Here is my ranking (nose and palate impressions were each given a 50% weighting in the overall rating, in the event of a tie the length of the finish was decisive, as was the case with ranks 1-3, which were incredibly close together): 1ST RX12425 2ND RX121 3. RX11107 4. RX21851 5. RX12203 6. 11402 Attention, daily form should not be underestimated!
Review by Thunderbird
A balanced creamy and intense Enmore! I like this one very much! He has that certain extra, which predestines him for a quiet evening enjoyment!
Review by zabo
In the round with the three TheRumCask bottlings and the Nobilis 94 REV as opponents. For me, the 27-year-old from TheRumCask is a shade ahead. Whining on a high level, of course this is also a great bottling but unfortunately also the most expensive.
Review by Frank
A little comparison of two, 28yo REV... that will be nice 🥰. Here the first, from Distilia:Nose: totally round! Complex and intense. A real nose-pleaser. Strong spicy, dark and toasty aromas with lots of molasses and licorice, plus light maggi and dark, fragrant sandalwood. Alongside dried fruit, like apricot, plum and tart blackcurrant. Also neat polish and pencil shavings I find, as well as fine herbs. Just very good. 9.2Palate: deliciously complex and round. But also distinct but pleasantly bitter. Very woody-malty-roasty, cedary. Lots of tart molasses but with less licorice. Instead, again distinct and more pencil shavings. Some subtle dried plum and dried apricot. Instead, more burnt caramel and mocha. Also on the palate light herbs and cereals.In the finish remains the pleasantly bitter woodiness with molasses and plum. ABV also fits quite nicely. 9.2Super REV. Noble and expensive.
Review by Serge
For the most delicious of the three tasted REVs (tasted with Rum Cask and RA). Has convinced over the complete breathing time in the glass as well as in the mouth the most. Wonderfully integrated into a heavy sweetness aroma. Fair to say: the other two bottles were open significantly longer.
Review by Felix Reiber
Ach wie gut diese alten REVs doch sind ! Wahnsinns Nase mit Dörrpflaume, Karamell, Kräutern, Tabak, Leder, Cola und Schokolade. Schöne Würze mit Holz und nicht zu knapp tolle Noten von Lakritze. Ein tolles Geruchserlebnis. Am Gaumen wunderbar aromatisch und würzig. Tabak, dunkle Schokolade, Dörrpflaume, Lakritze, Trockenfrüchte und gebrannter Zucker mit einer dunklen, röstigen Note. Dann Kräuter, Bleistift und etwas blumiges. Sehr ausgewogen und harmonisch. Der lange Abgang weiß bei einer tollen Komplexität mit Würze, Tabak, Schokolade, Dörrpflaume, Lakritze und Kaffee zu überzeugen. Dann klingt er langsam mit Leder, Schwarztee, Bleistift und geröstetem Holz aus. Ich bin hellauf begeistert ! Danke an @Gunnar Böhme für das Sample 😀
Review by Lot-NAS
What a treat! Really complex and still balanced. The alcohol is barely noticeable. With some 1994 REVs the wood, bitterness and herbal notes are a bit too intense for my liking. Not with this one, this is just excellent.
Review by FischeJ
Top REV. Wie schon so oft geschrieben, Tabak, Leder, Holz und Dörrpflaume. Schöne Würze und Bitterkeit. Für mich auch eine gewisse Schwarzteenote dabei. Gepaart mit den Fruchtaromen passt das alles sehr sehr gut zusammen. Abgang auch super.
Review by Jack M
Beautiful rum, very smooth with deep caramel flavours. Strongest caramel flavours across the three Versailles Greenhearts. Tar flavours also come through.
Review by Mopar Rules
a bit fishy on the nose on a first impression 🐟seeweed, salt, wood, very herbal, not really fruity but quite complex, even more after resting a while in the glas. Now there are the dried fruits and as well the red fruits, dried cherries and goji berries. Complex as well on the palate, with the influence of the cask being more dominant over dried fruits, dark chocolate and burned caramel, orchestrated to a very harmonic rum. It doesn’t have to have a Velier badge on it.
Review by Alex1981
Great REV94, dark chocolate, leather, dark fruits. Well balanced & integrated without being boring. Love it!
