The Cadenhead's 1990 Cask Strength MEV 26yo 57.2% 700ml is a remarkable rum distilled by the Enmore Distillery, using the historic Versailles Wooden Pot Still in 1990. This exquisite rum matured for an impressive 26 years before being bottled by Cadenhead's in October 2017, part of their esteemed Cask Strength Rum series. With an ABV of 57.2%, this single cask selection is presented in a stylish box, making it a stellar addition to any collection. Cadenhead's, founded by George Duncan in 1842 in Aberdeen, is renowned for its heritage and craftsmanship in the spirits industry. Duncan’s brother-in-law, William Cadenhead, took over the business in 1858, further advancing its reputation. The MEV mark signifies its origin from the Main Enmore Versailles, pointing to a rich lineage of exceptional rum production. This rum presents an old gold/amber color, with thick pearls clinging to the rim of the glass. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of smoky and medicinal notes, interwoven with the aromas of bitter oranges, wood, anise, caraway, and exotic fruits like papayas. The palate delivers a sweet and spicy complexity, with herbal notes of thyme and oregano, alongside hints of pencil shavings, prunes, blood oranges, and almond nuances. The finish is medium to long, with a warm, peppery, and herbal aftertaste, accompanied by unexpected sour and bitter notes. While this rum might not reach the zenith of some other Versailles rums, it nonetheless presents a compelling experience for connoisseurs.
