Enmore El Dorado Sauternes Special Cask Finish 2003
The surprise here is how well a sweet-wine finish sits on a heavy Enmore. Expect dark cherry, plum and chocolate over the distillery's ash, leather and bitter-oak backbone, with the Sauternes reading fruity-dry rather than syrupy. At 62.3% it's still very drinkable and oily-bodied. One taster was "pleasantly surprised" the finish worked; a couple would still prefer it without the wine.

How does Enmore El Dorado Sauternes Special Cask Finish 2003 taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Dark, dry Enmore with fruity wine-cask finish Most find the Sauternes finish rounds out a dark, heavy Guyanese profile nicely — dry, fruity, chocolatey. A few think it drinks better without the wine, and the finish can fall short.

Review by Christoph
Dry oak and super nice bitter notes from the wood. The herbal note gets stronger on the finish and harmonizes well with blackberry and plum before it. Accented with dried fruit. You can say what you want about double cask aging or finishes, but here it makes a complex, relatively heavy rum round and accessible without reducing its quality. Actually, exactly what a special cask should achieve.
Review by MarcT
I finally got to this rum, and I was not disappointed. It is very dark and sweet, a fruity note I identify as cherry. The sweetness does not overpower the rum, and the high ABV also helps to deliver the taste. The finish brings more wood and some spicyness, which is nice.
Review by DomM
The finish works very well with the enmore profile. Pleasantly surprised.
Review by Andi
At the beginning directly wine aroma like the Versailles-SauternCask2005 and then the Guyana notes come through directly.
Review by Master P
Beautifully chocolatey and very pleasant to drink for 62%
Review by Christian Rudt
Very individual profile. Port wine barrel arrives on the nose. Pleases me very much. The palate is very fruity but dry at the same time. Finish falls unfortunately short it remains only something astringent.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Sauternes finish is not my favourite.
