The Rum Mercenary Enmore 1990 is a 27-year-old molasses rum from the renowned Enmore Distillery in Guyana, distilled in 1990 using the pot-still of the now-defunct Versailles distillery. This unique still, equipped with a local wooden vat, lends the rum its distinctive and unique style.
The nose of this rum is complex and intriguing, with a coppery side typical of Demerara rums, combined with an almost medicinal vegetal note, full of resin and freshness. Ripe exotic fruits and a hint of bitter almond are also present, reminiscent of cake batter.
On the palate, the rum presents a sweet initial taste, but also reveals mineral, metallic, and almost sulfurous notes, with a burnt side that evokes roasted cereals, rye, or charcoal bread. The pits are hard, with traces of prune or cherry flesh in brandy.
Upon aeration, the coppery aspect is emphasized, becoming similar to pastry, while the green almond brings a velvety side. The resinous and concentrated plant notes remain present.
This rum is a true testament to the quality and craftsmanship of traditional rum-making techniques, and its complexity and depth make it a must-try for any rum enthusiast.
