RumX Blind Tasting 8x Enmore 1990 Rum Nr. 2 Milde Nase, deutlich höherer ABV, was dem Rum spürbar mehr Komplexität verleiht. Schöne Noten von Schwarztee und Tabak, insgesamt kraftvoller und strukturierter als zunächst erwartet. Im direkten Vergleich überraschend schwächer als gedacht, weshalb ich meine ursprüngliche Bewertung nach unten korrigieren musste. Besten Dank an Alex für die Organisation!

Blindtasting Enmore 1990 Nr.2: An der Nase recht verhalten und schwach wahrnehmbar..dezente Würz- und Kräuteraromen. Am Gaumen anfangs eine Süße und deutlich mehr ABV, was den Aromen zu Gute kommt. Der Abgang ist mittellang undklassisch auf der würzig kräuterigen Seite Edit: Beim gestrigen Blindtasting babe ich diesen Rum 0,2 Punkte nach unten korrigiert

8.8/10

Getrocknete Aprikose, Lakritz, schwarzer Pfeffer, Anis, Holz, Röstigkeit - auch hier ist einiges los im Glas. Luft tut dem Rum gut, um die anfängliche Wucht etwas zu zähmen; dann entfaltet sich ein ausgesprochen spannendes Aromenspektrum, das sich sowohl beim Rauch als auch bei den Gewürzen immer wieder den Extremen nähert, nur um im nächsten Moment doch wieder in die schwere Süsse einzutauchen, die die gelben Früchte, Kandiszucker und Holznoten hervorholen. der Abgang ist lang und durchaus ein wenig feurig - das stört mich in diesem Fall weniger, weil es zum kraftvollen Gesamteindruck passt. Ein exzellenter Rum mit viel Ausdrucksstärke.

9.0/10

Very good demerara stuff 🥃 The alcohol could be integrated better. Dried apricot, vanilla, wood, toasted in the nose. Anise, roasted, vanilla, pastries, oak, almonds in the mouth. Very round and delicious, but very spicy. The finish is long demerara like with some notes of the barrel(oak) burnt (demerara) sugar and vanilla. An astrigent(tanninis) felling. Later on there are some notes of mint and anise. Very delicious. I‘ll add some drops of water, maybe it shows up some more notes

Danke erstmal an Alex_Kunath für den Split, sonst hätte ich mich wohl nie mit sovielen 90er Enmores auseinander gesetzt. Bin gerade zwiegespalten ob die zwei ersten, die ich probiert habe, wirklich so meine Welt sind.

8.6/10

Very dense and multi-layered. Very smoky at the beginning, almost too firmly charred. The intensity overwhelmed me at the beginning (one-dimensional). Much more aromas are added later. Explosive on the palate. The increased ABV is noticeable in the taste, but is not perfectly integrated.

8.5/10

Cross Tastinge across 12 bottlings of 1990 Versialles destilled Enmores. Looking at the cask strength / 50%+ ABV bottlings in the line up (CG, DT, Duchess, Greenheart I & II, RdL, Sponge, TWJ), all deliver on the classic Versailles notes: Pencil, herbs/anis, some continental fruits and a wet/moldy woodiness. Quality wise I don’t see an outlier tbh, all very enjoyable. Noticeable, however, is a very intense nose on the Sponge, which adds lots of resin and „woody“ notes to the mix,probably paying tribute to its (partly) maturation in wine casks. This is clearly outstanding out of the batch. Bonus points for the older Greenheart and TWJ for highest intensity on the (continental) fruit notes for me. DT and The Duchess gravitating more towards spicy notes in the mix. Same overall verdict for the palate. All rums in the batch are of high quality and there is no dramatic outlier (good or bad), except for the Rum Sponge. While I enjoyed the nose, on the palate the bottling is overwhelmed by wine notes. As for a lot of finished/double matured releases I just don’t see the point and here don’t like it particularly. Among the other bottlings: the DT is particularly nicely balanced with a pleasant sweetness working nicely with herbal and more darker notes. Very enjoyable. My favorite on the palate is probably the younger Greenheart (at least in this sitting). Almost as balanced as the DT but with a bit more anise and herbal notes for a bit more excitement. The older Greenheart is also very nice, with a bit less sweetness yet also very nicely balanced. TWJ and The Duchess are overall a bit more in the harsher side concerning alcohol integration, yet still very good. Very strong bottlings of the vinatage overall and a pleasure to have some side by side. Cheers to Alex for curating (most of) the tasting set! 🙌

7.0/10

sehr würziger, dunkler und fast schon verbrannt wirkender enmore. mir persönlich etwas zu arg und dazu vereint er einiges an Aromen die ich nicht mag: verkohltes Holz, Lakritze, Marzipan und Anis. lässt sich gut trinken, ist aber einfach absolut nicht meins. hier fehlt mir einiges an Komplexität die Enmore sonst zu bieten hat. Kontinental ist einfach nicht das gleiche wie tropisch...
