Top review from DomM:
"Given some time in the Glas the nose is amazingly round and balanced, yet complex and interesting. The high ABV is very well integrated making this an excellent rum to experience its complexity. Brilliant MM :)"

"Day 8 of the Samples de Luxe calendar and tasted again a year and a half later. A nose of varnish first, followed by old wood, smoky citrus and a very refreshing menthol. A little less racy and vigorous than its green-label brother. Explosion of flavors on the palate with everything there was on the nose, plus some bitterness and a little saltiness/acidity. Beautiful tropical fruits and dried fruit blends. A finish marked by wood, (this must be an aged rum) and clearly long. Quite an experience to have the chance to taste this rum, whose aromas evolve as time goes by. Fascinating! Better than its green-labeled brother, but the difference is much less clear-cut than on first tasting. More freshness and more complex aromas. The empty glass also reveals unsuspected aromas."

Top review from Jakob:
"Again a tad rounder than Velier's Monymusk 1995. Great profile with a dose of extra power that doesn't come at the expense of overly strong alcohol. Aromatic with inspiring depth and balance. Extremely impressive."

Top review from Jakob:
"Very intense pleasure - but with a Clarendon with these key data, this was not to be expected otherwise. The taste shows fully ripe as well as fresh tropical fruits, mint, pepper, olive, barrel influences...the list of flavors to be found grows with every sip. Impressive, already one of the highlights of 2023!"

"A rum tasted at the WLP. A generous nose with lots of fruit, tropical and yellow with a slight acidity. Smokiness, varnished wood and pear cake. The palate opens on a peppery note, but the fruit rises in power with noble wood. The finish is, like this rum as a whole, balanced, long with a noble bitterness. The empty glass reveals even more flavors. Tasted again in direct comparison with the RA 1995 EMB and it's utterly delicious, even if it's livelier with more pronounced fruit."

Top review from Jakob:
"It is already apparent on the nose, but on the palate it is finally clear: this is a top representative from the 1995 Clarendon vintage. Fully ripe tropical fruit, mint, wood, even the age is recognizable - in a positive sense. Very complex, yet round, fresh, yet heavy - the EMB profile of the 1995 vintage is definitely one of the best of the EMB profile and also sets benchmarks for Jamaican releases in general. This rum is further proof of this - only the alcohol integration is not quite on a par with its sister releases. Nevertheless, an exquisite release."

Top review from Jakob:
"Simply great aromatics: the long aging adds a lot of complexity without becoming too bitter or otherwise overpowering the flavor profile. Fruit esters and wood embedded in a lovely sweetness...theoretically conceivable that you might not like this - but would make no sense. For me, this is great cinema.In direct comparison with the Tara and the Rum Club again a little more unfiltered fruit and menthol. The bottling remains an absolute top representative from Clarendon."

Top review from Joachim Guger:
"You have to let it breathe for a long time, the sherry veil disappears and a very nice nose emerges. Then mega in the mouth! Very full and warm. Dry wood and dried fruit. Long woody finish. Great Jamaican. No idea why it's still available. Edit: Already a collector's item."

Top review from cigares :
"A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024. An extremely rich, almost balsamic nose, with prunes, ripe fruit, stewed fruit, vegetal notes and even a refreshing menthol. The attack on the palate is rather gentle, then the aromas become more powerful. As on the nose, an incredible balance between dark aromas and menthol. The finish is super-long and elegant, with well-integrated wood and alcohol. A great rum, with finesse and balance. I loved it and even bought a bottle."

Top review from Galli33:
"Very delicious balanced elegant rum from MM Jamaica 🤤🤤 Classic fruity nose paired with some esters, baking spices, yellow fruits and wood. In mouth the adventure continues with various fruits paired with fresh mint, roasted and notes of the barrel with some hints of ester and some hidden notes of licorice. The alcohol is integrated very well. The finish is medium long and dry. A mix of fruits and the barrel."

"This was my contribution to the tasting and once we cracked open the bottle the flavours started spreading. Fruity with roasted wood and very good ABV integration. I really like the floral note and warm/spicy touch to the palate. Price to quality is very good in my mind."

Top review from Mirco:
"Spitzen Abfüllung! War bisher kein besonderer Clarendon Fan. Die Pfirsich-Eistee Note gefällt mir speziell gut. Auch im vergleich mit anderen Abfüllungen schlägt sich dieser Rum äusserst gut! Sehr komplex."

Top review from Christoph H.:
"The nose surprises me at first both positive and negative. Positive is definitely the complexity of fruit, tropical fruit and citrus of all kinds. Also, glue, sulfur, acidity, pepper, nutmeg, anise and, not very surprisingly, a lot of oak. Negative is unfortunately the intensity, I would have expected more. On the palate, however, then very set, most of the flavors are also found in the mouth, but much more intense. Overall, a definitely underrated and incredibly tasty rum. This set and round fruitiness with the equally set spice is just wonderful"

"Despite the relatively young age this is a piece of heaven! If you add a few drops of water it releases even more tastes in your mouth previously hidden by the alcohol. An excellent rum that you should give a try. But careful it might want you to go for seconds and thirds 😊"

Top review from cigares :
"Le jour 2 du calendrier Samples de et regoûté un an et demi après. Couleur miel de forêt et huileux. Un nez de vieux bois de cuir usé et de créosote avec des agrumes et de l’umami. Une bouche vive en alcool, mais aussitôt les arômes arrivent. Bienvenue dans un club anglais ! Le butler apporte un très vieux whisky dans une carafe en cristal sur un plateau d’argent. Cuir vieux, bois encaustiqué, tabac froid, feu de cheminée… La finale est longue et équilibrée, très boisée (mais je suis surpris par le vénérable âge de ce rhum). Un tout petit défaut à mon goût, un peu trop d’amertume sur la finale. Un rhum de légende ! J’avais parié sur un vieux Demerara. Verre vide c’est un festival d’arômes insoupçonnés ! Très beau, complexe et pourtant moins savoureux que son frère à l’étiquette rouge."

Top review from zabo:
"Heute unter tropischen Bedingungen im Manati Haus Tiergarten Nürnberg verkostet. Keine Ahnung, aber fand diesen weder scharfkantig noch alkoholisch wie so oft beschrieben in den Bewertungen. Vermutlich liegt das an der Temperatur und an der Luftfeuchtigkeit. Für mich jedenfalls ein leckerer Tropfen als Fazit. Danke Leo für das Sample."
