El Dorado Rum Enmore 1996 Rare Collection (57.2% ABV, 700ml)

This is a rare old rum from Guyana. Demerara Distillers have over the years collected a number of unique stills at the Diamond plantation. This way they can still produce many old styles ("marques"). One such marque is EHP, originally produced at the Enmore Sugar Estate. The owner of the plantation was Edward Henry Porter, hence EHP. The EHP style is produced on a Wooden Continuous Coffey Still that has been in operation since 1880.

The El Dorado Enmore 1996 has been matured in ex-bourbon barrels, and 100% Tropically Aged in Guyana for at least 21 years before bottling at cask strength of 57.2%.,

Nose: Dark and delicious! Dried fruits, demerara sugar and hints of vanilla. The sweetness is deep, refined and a touch challenging -but not funky!

Taste: Very rich mouthfeel and full-bodied with notes of dried fruits and a touch herbal.

 Long finish. Homemade caramel pudding with a super-rich (and slightly burnt) caramel sauce.
