    How does Swell de Spirits Clarendon V&B Exclusive Series 04 EMB 1995 taste?

    Dark, woody, mentholic Clarendon powerhouse
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy other 1995 Clarendon EMBs and want to see how far long tropical aging and strong wood can go, this bottle pushes that style in a serious way.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who prefer sweet, fruity rums with minimal oak or tannins.

    Small 95 EMB X tasting: as expected, a dream in the glass. For me, a perfect harmony of wood, menthol and tropical fruit which can be perceived in varying strengths from nose to finish. Compared to the RA, the finish is super harmonious and not so dry.

    Auto-translated

    Lack, Lösungsmittel und sehr frisch, reichlich Kampfer. Tropische Früchte, so riecht ein Obststand in Rio. 🇧🇷 Bananenbrot und Kräuter. Wenig Holz und Gewürze. Kräftig, komplex. Geil!! 💦💦nun Karamell und Toffee. Im Mund wird zuerst mal die Zunge weggebrannt. Ohne Wasser nur Alkohol und holzige Würze. Ölig. 💦💦Vollmundig, sehr angenehm. Langer, wärmender Abgang. Toller EMB 95. 🇯🇲

    Auto-translated

    👃 Boisé vernissé et laqué, tannins, tabac blond, chocolat noir, produit tanné d'une boutique de vacances en Ardèche. Avec l'aération, le bois laisse place à une note caractéristique de pêche glacée à la menthe, plus la menthe fraîche et poivrée que la pêche. Cette menthe évolue en weed. Un peu de sève, de cire et de pignons de pin. Les fruits arrivent et s'expriment sous forme diverses et variées ; fruits tropicaux (mangue, papaye, ananas grillé), fruits secs, compotés et caramélisés, orange sanguine, pêche juteuse. 😋 Vivacité de l'alcool, boisé très (trop) présent, certains diront. Chêne brûlé, tanins rêche du fût, thé noir, menthe amère et poivrée, cacao pimenté, tabac vert, cuir, cire, fraîcheur mentholée. Les fruits viennent ensuite mais comme le nez, ils sont en retrait ; fruits tropicaux, pêche, compote caramélisée. ⛳ Longue, chaude, intense, amère, boisé rêche. La menthe poivrée est collée au palais, suivi de bonbon piment de la Réunion, de graines de sésame, de légers fruits tropicaux compotés, amertume du maracuja vert. 🫗 Verre vide très herbacé, tabac, thé vert, menthe séchée, foin humide. 🏅 Très bon Clarendon 95 avec beaucoup de bois. Un très beau boisé au détriment des fruits un peu plus en retrait. Pour moi, il n'est pas au niveau du trio Warren Kong / Rum Artesanal / Fine Drams, mais pas loin derrière. 89+.

    Wow! Was für ein Rum! Ich bin total begeistert. Super schöne Menthol Noten, vereint mit Pfirsich und tropische Reifung. Alkohol super eingebunden. Richtig guter Stoff!
