Enmore ELCR 1995 16 Years Casks #7104-7111 Full Proof Old Demerara Rum 61.2% Vol. - a legendary bottling by Velier from the closed distillery Enmore of a stunning Demerara Rum!
A legendary vintage 1995 16 years old Enmore ELCR Guyana rum from the Demerara Distillers Ltd. in Georgetown, bottled in February 2011 at cask strength 61.2% vol. by Velier in a limited edition. This historic rum comes from the final distillation of the closed Enmore distillery and is comprised of eight casks (#7104-7105-7106-7107-7108-7109-7110-7111) selected by world-renowned independent bottler Velier and Luca Gagarno from Genoa. This is bottled from 8 casks from the final distillation at Enmore in 1995, before it closed. The casks were marked ELCR, which usually denotes rum from the famous Enmore wooden coffey still. The label however states that this is a pot distilled rum, which is likely a mistake. The pot still at Enmore was the similarly historic Versailles wooden pot still. Both of the Enmore stills are still producing rum at their new home at Diamond. This bottling is the final distillation of the Enmore plantation before the stills were transferred to Uitvlugt. Uitvlugt itself was shut down in December 1999.
To ensure that the last remaining distilleries did not lose the battle against the competition, several companies joined forces from the 1980s onwards: first Enmore and Diamond Liquors and then Uitvlugt and Guyana. This finally resulted in the merger of the companies Demerara Distillers Limited, often called DDL. The activities were moved to the Diamond Distillery, which now houses the old stills from the inactive distilleries - including a double still from Port Mourant, a four-column Savalle still from Uitvlugt, a single still from Versailles and a Coffey still from Enmore. The molasses for the distillation is based exclusively on Demerara sugar cane from the surrounding area, the old stills are available for the distillation, which no longer exist anywhere else in the world, and so the Diamond Demerara Rum is without question a special and unique rum. This spectacular Diamond Very Old Demerara Rum comes from a series of legendary bottlings from the short but beautiful period (2004-2015) when Velier owned a small stake in the Demerara Distillers Ltd (DDL), which gave Luca Gargano privileged access to the warehouses and his choice of casks for bottling. These special bottlings, in addition to the incredible Caroni bottlings, played a key role in building Velier s reputation. Sadly, the Velier and Demerara DDL era is over, but the memory lives on in these spectacular bottlings.
Almost hard to find today, this vintage 1995 16 years Enmore Full Proof Old Demerara Rum is one of the most sought-after rarities among connoisseurs, rum collectors and lovers due to its unique flavours and concentration resulting from the long tropical ageing process and is a special gem on the market!
