Review by DomM
Cross Tastinge across 12 bottlings of 1990 Versialles destilled Enmores. As the youngest by far also coming with the highest ABV, the Cadenhead‘s is a different beast versus the 20y+ bottlings surely. But what a beast this is! Nose is intense with classic Versailles markers, cream brûlée and some grainy notes. This is significantly more engaging and exciting compared to any later destilled rather young VSG bottling I tried so far. Same goes for the palate. Creamy in texture with a fruity sweetness as well as herbs and the pencil shavings. I very positively surprise. Only downside: alcohol integration isn’t terrible but still far from perfect.
Review by Johannes
Ein junger Versailles mit der typischen Bleistiftnote aber gleichzeitig auch einer schönen fruchtigen Süße. Echt erstaunlich gut! Alkohol etwas grenzwertig.
Review by Dr.Django
Die typischen Bleistiftnoten sind hier sehr im Vordergrund, umspielt von einer angenehmen Süße. Nicht sonderlich komplex, aber umso mehr intensiv in den Aromen seiner Einfachheit. Sehr lecker. Fast schon ein easy Sipper mit über 75% xD Ein sehr besonderer Rum, danke Alex.
Review by Jakob
Der Alkohol ist - erwartungsgemäss - sehr intensiv. Nichtsdestotrotz funktioniert das mit einem so expressiven Profil wie dem von Versailles sehr gut, sowohl die archetypische Mineralik aus den Bleistiftnoten als auch pflanzliche Aromen sowie Lakritz und herbe Gewürze sind im Spektrum erkennbar; extrem faszinierend, was nach zehn Jahren Reifung und bei dieser Abfüllstärke alles im Glas passiert. Eindrücklich.

Review by Timo Groeger
Klasse Enmore mit super integriertem Alkohol. In der Nase sehr dunkel und röstig, außerdem sind etwas Holz bzw. Fass erkennbar. Am Gaumen zu allerseits Bleistiftspähne. Er bleibt aber weiterhin sehr dunkel und röstig. Top Rum.
Review by Alex Kunath
Ein absolutes Brett von Cadenheads! Guyana Versailles VSG, wie ich es am liebsten mag. Bleistift mit einer ordentlichen Miene und Wucht! Mit 75,7% bringt er die richtige Power ohne zu übertreiben. Für seine jungen 10 Jahre wirkt er schon sehr erwachsen. Mir gefällt er sehr gut!
