The Rum Nation 1997 Enmore 20yo is an exceptional and intriguing rum that stands out with its bold and memorable flavor profile. Distilled in 1997 at the renowned Enmore Distillery in Guyana and bottled by Rum Nation in 2017, this special 20-year-old rum is a true gem, limited to only 442 bottles. With a robust ABV of 56.4% and a 700ml size, it promises an unforgettable tasting experience for the discerning rum enthusiast.
On the nose, the Rum Nation 1997 Enmore 20yo initially presents a strong solvent scent that gradually transforms into a fluid, medicinal resin with a distinctly vegetal character. The aroma is further enhanced by spicy notes of curry and anise, all underpinned by an overarching vegetal and fragrant profile. As the rum rests, a delightful fruity essence intermingles with spices and a light wood note, adding to its complexity.
The palate of this rum is striking and dry, reminiscent of a fruity whisky, but quickly evolves into a peaty, smoky Islay whisky with a strong emphasis on tourbe and peat smoke. Warm and oily, it reveals layers of fruit, spices, and wonderful licorice, as well as lighter notes of smoky wood and hay. The influence of the ex-whisky barrel becomes evident as the rum continues to rest, enriching its flavor profile.
The finish is medium to long, maintaining the smoky, peaty notes with a hint of red fruits appearing at the very end. The final sips reveal nuances of woody, tea, and tropical fruit flavors, making this rum a complex and multifaceted delight.

The Rum Nation 1997 Enmore 20yo was the highlight of my tasting session in Amsterdam and made a strong impression right from the start. While its price to quality ratio can be debated, the rum truly shines after being allowed to rest, revealing its full spectrum of flavors. The nose is a delightful blend of fruity, spicy, and solvent notes with a light wood accent. The palate is warm, oily, and rich, featuring fruit, spices, licorice, and subtle smoky wood and hay nuances. The ex-whisky barrel's influence is noticeable upon resting. The finish is medium to long, warm, and boasts smoky wood, papaya, and spice notes, making it a memorable and rewarding experience.
