Rum, British Guyana

Produced in a wooden Coffey still and bottled at cask strength, this version has been finished in a cask previously containing an Islay single malt. On paper, combining the medicinal character that suits Enmore so well with the peat and smoke of a Scotch whisky was a quite simply mouth-watering prospect. The final result did not disappoint. In terms of aromas, in particular, where an oily, chocolate and exotic peat brings to mind various aspects of Laphroaig. And then in terms of flavours, where freshly cut grass and delicate smoke take up residence on the edge of the palate.
