Tasting notes

91 points whiskyfun.com

I believe REV is a broker’s marque that means Rum Enmore Versailles. Colour: dark red amber. Nose: oh, old woods, Dutch liquorice, rosewood, caraway and Timut pepper, eucalyptus, then old tweed, cedarwood, old cigar case, also a drop of gewurz, tinned lychee… This nose is simply sumptuous. These indie series are just incredible, we need one or two bad ones to make sure this is well a human venture. I even believe we’ll start petitioning. With water: ooh, dried meats and all kinds of mints and molecules ending with -ol. Terpinol, for example. Mouth (neat): phenomenal, all about precious woods, liquorices and petroly spices. Blood oranges and a few underripe grapes as well. With water: geared towards salted fish this time, olives, salted liquorice, oysters, crabmeat… We’re almost at Caol Ila. Finish: long and more medicinal. Loads of resins and oils – and stuff ending with -ol indeed. Comments: these are just my thing and love the piney side. Viva turpentine!

Nose: old leather, fragrant cigar boxes and a general hint of moist wood. A nice, dark and toasty woodiness. Typical pencil shavings too. Then dried herbs and tobacco leaves, with prunes and blackcurrants in the background. Quite heavyweight, but rather unique nonetheless.

Mouth: a similar toasty woodiness, mixed with a hint of petrol and wet cardboard. Quite robust. Some oriental spices, heavy liquorice and dark treacle underneath. Then mint and coffee powder, black olives and chocolate.

Finish: long, quite savoury, with burnt caramel, coffee and liquorice.

An intruiging rum, with a dark woody core that may seem a little overwhelming at first. There are other notes to balance it, although it definitely stays in the darker territories. Sold out? Score: 88/100
