Greg Hughes rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is a super selection, from El Dorado. They have a selection of three single still rums, but this one is on-point for their style. That makes sense because some of the rum produced on this one finds its way into their other selection (it tastes like a more concentrated version of the 12 y.o.).
It is more subtle than the Port Mourant or the Versailles. It has a lot of the characteristics of the rest of their line of rums; heavy on the orange rind (almost marmalade), chocolate, toffee, and heavy demerara. It is seamless and dangerously drinkable. It almost tastes like liquid Christmas.
Comparatively, if you want a more aggressively aromatic rum, try the other two in this series.
The Versailles is subtle and has some demerara, vanilla, and fruitiness (grapes or almost sour plum) to it.
The Port Mourant is more spicy and aggressive. It has more in common with the Versailles, but with more overt fortitude. Leather, pepper, coffee bean, and fruity sharpness.
The Enmore is the 12 y.o. on steroids. Chocolate, leather, orange. Yum. Oh! And whereas the other two were produced on a greenheart still, this one was a coffey still (for all you adepts out there).
