Enmore Kill Devil 1992

The surprise here is how dark and savoury this gets: cedar cigar box, coffee, licorice and prunes, with a "goût de rôti" roasted-meat edge some tasters flag. It's the classic Enmore Versailles wooden-still profile — dry, tannic, a touch bitter. The recurring gripe: at 46% it feels dialed down, and several wish it were cask strength to fully open up.

The look inside the bottle

How does Enmore Kill Devil 1992 taste?

Aggregated from 32 community reviews.

Roasted, woody Enmore held back by 46% Most love the smoky, roasted Versailles character and long dry finish. The steady complaint: 46% tames it, so it reads a little thin for 25 years — good, not the great it could be.

Perfect for

Fans of dark, roasted Versailles/Demerara rums

Less suitable for

This rum perfumes the room when poured. Cedar wood (cigar box) dominates the nose, but bergamot and prunes are not far off. A real taste of roast completes this atypical nose. The palate is initially almost entirely woody (cedar), with prune, dried fruit, licorice and a hint of cooled roast fat on the finish. Astonishing! The finish is long and citrus reappears at the very end. Phew! The empty glass is complex and much more balanced than the mouth. A highly aromatic and far from uninteresting rum, but dominated by an expression of wood that's too monolithic for my taste, especially on the finish. Empty glass, leather is also present. Less interesting than its brother RX464.

Von der Nase her ist er ganz gut, nur im Geschmack fällt er leider ab. Nicht besonders komplex, für das Alter ließe sich mehr erwarten, und auch leider etwas dünn. Mit Wasser kann man auch nicht mehr rausholen als noch mehr Röstaromen.

Beautiful, warm demerara profile. Very balanced. Plenty of tannin in the mouth, good drinking strength. There may be more powerful, complex and exciting continental aged Demeraras, but this one gets the Versailles flavor profile spot on while being very drinkable.

Continental Demerara with a really nice Versailles profile: lots of fruit and intense flavor on the typical markers despite a low ABV. The bitterness is also very restrained compared to other old Versailles. I like it very much.

Ganz netter Rum, kann mich aber grad nicht vollends überzeugen. Sehr röstig in der Nase, Kaffee ist deutlich erkennbar. Am Gaumen bleibt es röstig, es lassen sich aber auch Tabak, Leder und dunkle Schokolade erkennen.

Very tasty and palatable Enmore, which is almost a little too palatable due to the reduction, but still not watery. The typical markers are present. Predominantly roasted aromas, licorice, leather, spices, wood, light herbs. A successful bottling.

A nice dram that for me really loses complexity in the watering down to 46 abv. Not much in the sense of flaws but still something where I just wish for a few more percent, but even cask strength just more

Enmore 

Avg Rating 8.8/10 over 210 Rums

Enmore gave the world the last wooden Coffey still, built here around 1880 and still running at Diamond. It is also one of only two Guyanese estates where you can actually buy rum distilled while the place was open: 17 vintages between 1962 and its closure in April 1994. On most Demerara pages that sentence is not true.
