AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"This 1988 Enmore is a liquid museum piece. Since the Enmore distillery closed, these original vintages have become unicorns on the secondary market. It's a safe investment and a legendary tasting experience."
This bottle represents one of the pinnacles of rum history. Distilled in November 1988 at the legendary Enmore distillery in British Guiana, this rum was selected and bottled by Velier (Luca Gargano), an absolute benchmark for collectors. Technical Specifications Origin: Guyana, Demerara. Distillery: Enmore (now closed, stills transferred to Diamond). Still: Single Pot Still (a wooden pot still, a unique tool in the world). Vintage: 1988. Bottled: March 2002. Age: Approximately 13 years of tropical aging. Alcohol Contents: 51.9% ABV (Full Proof). Contents: Drawn from only 2 barrels. Notable Points for the Collector Historical Rarity: This bottle is among the first selections from Luca Gargano that revolutionized the world of rum by offering "Full Proof" rums without dilution or additives, sourced directly from the stocks of Demerara Distillers Ltd (DDL). Aromatic Profile: Known for its extreme complexity, the Enmore style of this era offers notes of licorice, deep molasses, roasted tropical fruits, leather, and woody spices, carried by a perfectly integrated power. Condition: * Bottle: Impeccable condition, optimal fill level (high shoulder). Label: Perfectly legible, understated and elegant design characteristic of the range. Box: Includes its original case, a major asset for the value of this lot.
