Moon Import Enmore (Versailles) Demerara Rum 1988
"Wow, richtig guter Versailles" is how one taster puts it, and the reviews back it up: a dark, heavy old Enmore full of leather, wood, pencil shavings, prune and licorice, with roasted coffee and dried figs underneath. The recurring gripe is the 46% — several wish it had a few more degrees. Most still find it round and deep rather than thin.

How does Moon Import Enmore (Versailles) Demerara Rum 1988 taste?
Aggregated from 19 community reviews.
Deep, woody old Demerara, softened by 46% Loved as a deep, woody, spice-and-leather Enmore with dark dried fruit. The only real complaint: at 46% a few tasters wish it hit harder.

Review by Johannes
Wow, richtig guter Versailles mit erstaunlich viel Tiefgang. Holz, Bitterkeit, Frucht ist perfekt ausbalanciert. Trotz der Verdünnung wirkt er überhaupt nicht dünn, auch wenn er gerne noch ein paar Prozente mehr vertragen könnte.
Review by Serge
Super Nase! Dunkel aber nicht modrig mit herrlicher Melange aus Fruchtkomponenten, Leder, Fass, Malz, Zitrus und Gewürzen. An Gaumen dann – den 46 % entsprechend – etwas dünn. Aber wirklich noch gut im Rahmen und lecker.
Review by Basti
An der Nase schwere/würzige Aromen. Holz, Leder, Malz, etwas Anis, Bleistiftspähne, Karamell, Kaffee und getr. Früchte. Insgesamt dem 2006 REV-Profil relativ ähnlich. Am Gaumen wenig bis gar keine fruchtigen Noten, sondern mehr holzige, würzige Aromen und ein Hauch Kräuter. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Wow, überraschend. Richtig toller Versailles. Er hat eine schöne Schwere und das Alter kommt im positiven richtig gut durch. Bringt auch eine schön nuancierte Komplexität mit, die trotz den niedrigen Volumen gut zur Geltung kommt. Tolle Bleistift-Charakeristika mit Leder, Pflaume, Papaya.
Review by Jakob
Impressive representative from the 1988 Enmore batch. Heavy sweetness, dark dried fruit, wood, spices...very round and complex and as usual with Moon Import Demeraras diluted but by no means thin. Excellent.
Review by FischeJ
Very nice Versailles. Very dark and heavy nose of leather, barrel and spices. I don't find it too thin in the mouth, as some say. The nose continues here. Wood, leather, tobacco and spices. The finish is quite long and drying.

05.03.2016 Finally back in Kolding again after some years at Messe C in Fredericia. Much easier to get home when it's within walking distance. Had my good friend from Singapore visit for a month and that ended up in a lot of tasting 😊 Notes: Nose: wood, roasted, plum, anise, citrus, leather. Palate : wood, light roasted, plum, anise, licorice. Finish: medium long, wood, licorice, dried fruit, tobacco.
Review by Leo Krüper
Schwerer alter Demerara. Holt mich aber nicht vollends ab, auch wenn der Rum eine hohe Qualität hat. Ist mir fast zu alkoholisch, obwohl er so dünn daherkommt.
Review by Manuel
Ein Demerara Rum, der eher auf der holzigen und würzigen Seite ist. Der Fasseinfluss ist deutlich bemerkbar. Weitere Gewürze wie Vanille, Lakritz und Leder im Abgang. Könnte ein bisschen mehr Alkohol vertragen, so ist er im Abgang etwas wässrig.
Review by Petr Andrysík
Pěkný jemný Enmore, chybí mu ale tak 10%. 46% je málo. Ve vůni švestky a anýz a v chuti švestky a sladkost karamelu
