Lovely nose with light caramel, oak, sweet tropical fruits and something mineralised and slightly spicy and chalk like. As the rum enters my mouth, again I pick up a mineralised character, light caramel and wood, but also subtle notes of cherries and ripe plums. It’s very, very good if a little light bodied, which is surprising, considering 21 years of ageing. The finish lingers for a good while with a warming sensation of the fruity notes mentioned above. Given the 56,5% vol. it’s very refined, but overall I still find it a little overpriced.

All that Enmore...Raisins, dried fruits, coffee, dark molasses...Whoa! A good one. FINALLY no added sugar (I can scoop it in myself if I want to, thanks - much harder to get rid of the crap). The El Dorado boys finally allow their spirits to shine, after Velier showed them how. Amen.

Great rum, so full of flavor, just like the other two in the same series. This is how El Dorado should be, without added sugar and high strength punch!

I like all the standard rum from El Dorado (12, 15 & 21) and of course the 25yo which is fantastic.
Tested this one during Birka’s rumcruise 2018 and didn’t like at all, but to maybe excuse myself I think it’s quite difficult to test that many different rums during a rather short time.

Purchased a sample of this rum for around £13 from Master of Malt the bottle usually retails fot £175. This rare expression from el dorado is divine. A definite finishing rum for the end of the night as it's easy to get drunk quickly with its hidden 56.6% abv.
It's a fine example of guyanese demerara rum a wonderful one at that. It reminds me of the el dorado 21 but much more powerful. It does not feel at all the strength and is so easy to drink. It's simply a wonderful expression!

With a nice amber color, this rum has notes of candied fruits like prune and apricot. There are also woody notes and after a long aeration, the exotic fruits that arrive. In the mouth, the woody takes the top with always the fruits that disappear slowly. The end is very long always on the wooded with light notes of tobacco. Great rum but expensive.

Today I got my hands on a legendary Enmore style rum. I was looking forward to taste it.
Let's see if it can meet my expectations. My bottle is fresh btw. I'm going to do a tasting again in some weeks. This rum needs at least 45min in the glas. When you get the flowers in the nose, it's ready.
The nose is deep, woody, dark with sweet notes and dry fruits like raisins and figs. From the wood profile you can say that it's from the woody EHP still. It's like a walnut tree with iodine from the smell.
As the rum gets warmer I get more honey and orange.
A good nose, also complex.
The taste starts sweet with a lot of dry fruits (raisins, oranges), followed by tannins and wood. It gets warm very fast in the mouth. I can't hold it back to enjoy the start for a longer time. The rum is viscous and warm in the mouth.
In the middle it get's more heavy with molasses and bitter notes of tannins, raisins are still there. The finish is spicy and dry with heavy notes, dry fruits and wood, iodine again. The aftertaste is dark with molasses, burned sugar, some mint and raisins. It reminds me again of ElDorado12 aftertaste.
Conclusion: This rum is old and complex. But the wood influence is too high. Maybe the 22 years of aging is too much. Therefore 88 points rating is appropriate.

Expensive but worth a crack if you get the chance. Oak, definitely can feel the 21 years of aging here. Not overly sweet.

Another great rum above the pile-of-sugar-crap. Complex and long lasting

A truly tropical aged Enmore Rum
9

out of 10
The El Dorado Enmore 1993 is a vintage rum of the closed Enmore Distillery from Guyana and was distilled in the famous Wooden Coffee Style. Then the rum was allowed to store for 22 years in Ex Bourbon barrels. In 2015, it was bottled with 56.5% alcohol in barrel strength without additives. The handcrafted rum is strictly limited.
The rum needs some time in the glass. Heavy barrel notes come up. Wood, smoke and a heavy sweetness. Tropical fermented fruits. Vanilla, too. The rum is very appealing but opens slowly. On the palate you get the heavy barrel notes again. Caramel and roasted vanilla. I get raisins and dried tropical fruits. Also orange and some liquorice. Dark chocolate as well as oak and bitter fabrics. The alcohol is very well integrated, but should not be forgotten while drinking. He can kick. It is all super complex. The finish is characterized by the long storage and only in the Aftertaste it is a little too weak for the age and the price tag.
The El Dorado 1993 shows a great nose and has a nice drinking feeling. For me a great introduction to the world of old Enmore bottlings. At the same time, you get 25 years of tropical storage at a fair price. What the rum lacks is the finish and the wood influence. Which is rather unusual for the long storage. It's a bit too flat at the back. The other bottlings from the Rare Cask series do this better.
Der El Dorado Enmore 1993 ist ein Jahrgangsrum der geschlossenen Enmore Distillery aus Guyana und wurde in dem berühmten Wooden Coffee Still destilliert. Dann durfte der Rum 22 Jahre in Ex Bourbon Fässern lagern. 2015 wurde er mit 56,5% Alkohol in Fassstärke ohne Zusätze in Handarbeit abgefüllt. Der Rum ist streng limitiert.
Der Rum benötigt etwas Zeit im Glas. Schwer kommen starke Fassnoten. Holz, Rauch und eine schwere Süße. Tropische vergorene Früchte. Auch Vanille. Der Rum ist sehr ansprechend öffnet sich aber nur langsam. Am Gaumen komme sofort wieder die schweren Fassnoten. Karamel und getoastete Vanille. Rosinen und getrocknete tropische Früchte. Auch Orange und etwas Lakritze. Dunkle Schokolade sowie Eichenholz und Bitterstoffe. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden, sollte aber beim Trinken nicht vergessen werden. Er kanm durchaus präsent werden. insgesamt ist der Rum sehr komplex. Der Abgang ist von der langen Lagerung geprägt und nur im Nachklang ist er mir für das Alter und dem Preisschild etwas zu schwach.
Der El Dorado 1993 zeigt eine tolle Nase und hat ein schönes Trinkgefühl. Für mich ein toller Einstieg in dle Welt der alte Enmore Abfüllungen. Gleichzeitig bekommt man 25 Jahre tropische Lagerung zu einem fairen Preis. Was dem Rum fehlt ist der Abgang und der Holzeinfluss. Was bei der langen Lagerung eher ungewöhnlich ist. Er ist hinten raus etwaszu flach. Das machen die anderen Abfüllungen aus der Rare Cask Serie besser.
