ENMORE 1988 48,9% THE WHISKY JURY

Distilled in 1988 at Enmore Distillery on the Versailles single wooden pot still, matured in sherry wood and bottled in 2011 by Moon Import.

THE BRAND

Enmore Sugar Estate was founded by Edward Henry Potter in the early 19th century after inheriting and converting his father’s cotton plantation. Situated on the east bank of the Demerara river, the mark EHP was originally used to identify rums from the distillery annexed to the factory. His orginal still, the two-column wooden coffey still, dates back to 1880. After the Guyana’s government decision to close most of the distilleries and nationalise the rum production in 1974, it was one of only four still active, receiving also the single wooden pot still from the Versailles distillery after his closure in 1978.

Enmore was shutterd in 1994 and its stills transferred to Diamond Distillery.
