Review by Johannes
A little rounder than the 13-year-old, but also great!
Review by Pavel Spacek
Wow! Surprise of the month. This looks like standard 46% Bristol. But it tastes strong, tasty with strong oak tail. ... Enmore - drive destilerka, nyni uz jen funkcni destilacni zarizeni. Patrne jedine drevene destilacni zarizeni na svete, ktere se tesi velke oblibe. Rumy Enmore totiz maji prichut popelu, kuze, tezkeho dreva, coz nadchne zejmena milovniky nakourenych whisky. A pokud tradicnim Guyanskym zpusobem prida vyrobce do rumu trochu melasy, mate v lahvi unikatni velmi vyrazny a tezky rum. Jeden z mych oblibenych.

Review by Carlitooo
Unglaublich intensiv für 46% und ein sehr gelungenes Finish!
Review by Christoph H.
Ein klassischer Versailles, mit einem gelungenen Port Finish, der einfach gut zu dem Rum passt. Sowohl vom Aroma, als auch farblich macht sich das Finish bemerkbar, auch wenn es nur 2 Jahre sind. MMn hätte das Finish sogar noch einen größeren Anteil an der Reifung haben können. Dominant sind hier immer noch die klassischen Bleistiftspähne und Holz, gefolgt von Piment, Muskat und weißen Pfeffer. Eher im Hintergrund tun sich nun auch Waldbeerige und leicht säuerliche Johannisbeeren auf, als hätte in den Rum jemand einen Schuss Punica Tea and Fruit verschüttet. Das fällt vor allem sehr auf, vergleicht man ihn mit einem normalen Versailles. Im Mund bringt das Finish noch eine feine Süße mit rein, die jedoch nicht zu ausgeprägt ist. Es dominiert hier jedoch eindeutig die holzigen Bleistiftnoten und die Würze Ich mag ihn sehr und würde mir jederzeit erneut eine Flasche holen, sollte der Kurs stimmen. Die Verdünnung stört hier nicht wirklich
Review by Filip Šikula
Ač se jedná o roční 1984 rum je “pouze “ 18 ti letý versailles. Vůně je slabá, citrusová, s náznaky pepře a jalovce. Po odpočinutí se ve skleničce objeví tóny versailles - já tomu říkám hobliny z tužek. Chuť je mnohem intenzivnější, než vůně. Chutná to uplně jinak než jsem čekal a pepře je v chuti opravu dost. A opravdu dlouho. Po prvotní nelibosti se mi to ale líbí víc a víc.
