TRC Enmore Guyana 1988

Anyone deep into old Demerara will feel at home here. This 28-year Enmore from The Rum Cask leans woody and licorice-heavy, with dried plum, leather and dark fruit, an oily body and a bitter, coffee-tinged finish. Several tasters were surprised how sweet and fruity it reads for its age. Give it plenty of time in the glass — the aromas need it to open.

The community says
  • Dried plum, licorice
  • Oily, balanced
  • But: Body lacks fullness

Beautifully balanced between spicy wood and fruit. Great rum.

8.5/10

Despite identical rating but again clearly different from the 32-year-old sister barrel. Here, some aroma strands are still present in a little more force, which gives the rum more balance and occasionally reminds of the minerality of old Versailles. This is somewhat at the expense of the heavy Demerara sweetness, which is not able to trump up in the absolute finesse. Still very good.

Clearly rounder and tamer than the Flensburg. Nevertheless, intense and complex. I really like it.

This rum was a very nice surprise and I got one for my collection right away. The nose is very fruity with spices and in the back i can find leather and nice wood. The palate is well balanced, intense and slightly bitter with fruits and spices. There is a nice peppery spiciness here and in the back a tiny bit of earthyness. The finish is long and slightly bitter with roasted oak and a tad of coffee.

On the nose, it could almost pass for a Rev. Prunes, licorice, molasses, wood, tobacco, leather and a light herbal note. Nicely oily in the mouth with plenty of licorice and leather, slightly bitter. Very balanced and easy to drink thanks to the low ABV. Great bottling!

Unerwartet süß und fruchtig für einen alten Enmore, Holz tritt zurück. Später gesalzener Speck, im Abgang bittere Töne. Spannende Geschmacksbombe, leichte Abzüge wegen nicht perfekt integriertem Alkohol.

Für einen so alten Enmore unerwartet süß und fruchtig im Geschmack aber auch schon in der Nase. Das Holz ist zwar da, wird aber von einer sehr kräftigen Fruchtnote etwas in den Hintergrund gedrängt. Zur süßen Note kommt später gesalzener Speck und im Abgang dann eher bittere Noten. Insgesamt spannend aber gibt deutlich bessere Guyanas.

Leichte Abzüge gibt es in der B Note weil der Alkohol nicht ganz so perfekt integriert ist wie man sich das wünschen würde.

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.
