The Enmore sugar estate was established by Edward Henry Porter in the early 19th century. The distillery was once the home of the famed wooden stills, closed in 1994 before the equipment was moved to DDL's Diamond distillery where it sits today. Enmore no. 9 was produced at Versailles Single Wooden Pot Still (REV). This expression has spent 29 years in an ex-rum cask and was bottled in 2023 at 45.8% ABV. There are just 157 bottles in this batch. Tasting Notes: This single wooden pot still (REV marque) has a dark copper colour. Nose: It's like very, very high-quality oolong tea, and that's it. I'm not kidding. Okay, there are a few tiny hints of liquorice, fresh paint, soy sauce, and walnut stain in the background. Mouth: but how delicious it is! Here we are on anchovies marinated in liquorice and wood varnish, or thereabouts. And then there's mint, myrtle, eucalyptus, a touch of ammonia, oysters... The freshness is exceptional, despite it being 29 years old. And that medicinal aspect, what a wonder, I'm sure it cures everything. Finish: long, very mentholated, with a return of the oolong tea and damp black earth. More pepper at the very end. Comments: tremendous but we need to wake up. Once it's gone, it's gone. Note: SGP: 563 - 92 points. Source: whiskyfun.com #dreambar
