Donated by Wealth Solutions

Founded at the beginning of the 19th century in a village with which it shares its name, Enmore eventually closed its doors in 1995. Distilled in the double column wooden Coffey still that helped shape this distillery's legend, this version has been selected by La Maison du Whisky from the Polish merchant Wealth Solutions. This magnum was produced as a one-off example specifically for the Whisky Live Paris 2024 charity auction.
Complex and deep, its range of aromas and flavours offer a wonderful mix of youth and a clear maturity in its expression. At times reminiscent of a Grand-Bas-Armagnac from the Landes region with its tawny flavours, it conveys with great sensitivity all the power of the terroir that gave birth to it.

The distillery Enmore

The Enmore sugar plantation was set up in the early 19th century by Edward Henry Porter on the banks of the Demerara River. When the Guyanese government nationalized the production of rum in 1974, it was one of the last distilleries still in operation, alongside Diamond and Uitvlugt. The two wooden Coffey stills built from Chlorocardium Rodiei (Greenheart)—a wood generally used for shipbuilding due to its good water resistance and which offers properties similar to copper for purifying sulphur compounds—date back to the 1880s and are based on the model invented by Aeneas Coffey in 1832. They were transferred to Uitvlugt when the distillery closed in 1994, then to Diamond when Uitvlugt closed in 1999. This was also the case for the Enmore wooden pot still that Enmore had recovered after the distillery of the same name closed in 1978.
