The Rum Mercenary & Kintra Enmore Sample X
Most tasters land on the same word: elegant. This 20-year Enmore is unusually mild for its age — floral and fresh on the nose, then honey, licorice, plum, roasted almond and soft wood on the palate. The 50.6% barely shows. Lovers call it delicate and finely balanced; a handful find it too light and short. Don't pour anything heavy before it.
The community says- Floral, elegant nose
- ABV well hidden
- But: Very light body

Mild, floral 20yr Enmore for delicate palates Most call it an elegant, delicate Enmore that hides its cask strength well. A vocal minority finds it too mild and flat for 20 years — worth knowing before you buy.

Very great complex Enmore. Floral/flowers. The whole deal. Lighty subtle flavours. Got a bottle of this. Yay! Second taste, after I got the bottle: First of all this is very well priced for a 20yr old enmore. 120-140€. Nose: subtle fruity flavours. Some hay. Give it time to open up. Anise Taste: same. Yellow fruits. Everything here is delicate. Don't drink heavy or woody rums before this. It'll kill the palate.

Rarely tasted a rum that has been stored for so long and at the same time tastes so boring and bland. Some yellow fruit, sweetness, floral notes. Despite the alcohol content, the rum is thin in the mouth. No off-notes per se, but also nothing that makes the rum interesting in any way.

Review by Timo Groeger
Sooo, auf Arturs Tasting wartend, gibt es noch zwei altbekannte Rums. Einen wirklich guten Enmore haben wir hier. Frisch und blumig in der Nase, am Gaumen dann holzig, elegant, und Lakritze lässt sich herausschmecken :-)
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, the first impression we get is flowery and metallic, roasted wood brings brioche and almonds, cocoa and spices, the fruits are candied, sweet, dried and citrus. On aeration, strong vegetal aspect is shown with tobacco, lavender and geranium, fruity with banana, mandarine and red fruits. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is sweet and roasted with wood notes like honey, caramel, brioche, leather, nuts and red, yellow with peaches, dried fruits with raisins.It is elegant and delicious, inspite of a little dirty patina and copper, spicy with chilli, salt, dark, syrupy with licorice and fruits like banana, prunes, also herbaceous, flowery. 8,4:The finish is long, dry, coppery and tannic, with strong vegetal aspect, roastedness and fruity tones...
Review by Skyfly
Guter und sehr milder Enmore mit floralen/ blumigen Aromen, die ihn von anderen abgrenzen. Im Gaumen dann die typischen Aromen Karamell, Nuss, Holz und dezente Trockenfrüchte. Im Abgang wieder Holz und Karamell. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden. Mir fehlt im Gaumen das gewisse etwas.
Review by Johannes
Seltsame Abfüllung. Jahrgang nicht ganz klar. Geschmacklich recht flach,Column Stil, Albion nicht gut eingebunden.
Review by Banana Joe
Extremely mild for 20 years. Very floral, flowery nose, subtle yellow fruit aromas. The whole thing continues on the palate. Extremely mild and you don't notice the 50% at any time. Very well crafted, but for me it lacks depth.
Review by TheJackDrop
Dégustation avec le Rhum Club Lille ! Ma bouteille préférée ce soir, un enmore élégant, avec deux facettes. Lune très axées sur les amandes, la noisettes torréfiée, le cacao et l’autre très fraîche, parfumée, floral. Top.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Quite light and surprisingly floral. Young wood. Lemon peel. A touch of honey to give some sweetness to the palate. Taste: Ok, quite intestesting, its mild but complex. Honey, but hints of licorice in there. Fruits, peaches. Almonds. Finish: Yellow fruits. Floral. Mild and dry mouthfeel. Light and easy sipper with a good amount of complexity.
Review by Djehey
Rather subtle. Lacks vivacity and energy for my taste.
Review by xasmx
The nose is mild, the taste and finish are very enjoyable with licorice and plum coming through. Really enjoying this.
Review by Jacques etdom
As another comment says, the nose leaves you feeling a bit silly. We don't know where we are. A slight floral touch, very light yellow fruit. The palate is rather flat, we still don't know where we are, a bit like a too old wine that has lost its flavors. Too bad, I was expecting something else, it's not bad, but without any real interest.
Review by Kasper
Extremely fine balance of many many many great fine tastes. The fun is that in the nose it gives an impression of a bit of a beast. But all is very fine and rounded in the taste. Admittedly much more subtle bit also extremely well aged.
Review by Jules Selected Spirits
For me to easy and no after taste. Flat
