     Très bon jeune Clarendon. Bien meilleur que son homologue MMW gouté juste avant. Un peu moins fruité mais plus équilibré et bien plus agréable.

     8,5:On the nose, the first attack is gluey. When it calms down, all the esters come through, like a nice, warm summer sunshine with its freshness and warmth. We get exotic fruits with ripe banana, pineapple, mango, some citrus note, lemon peel, intertwined with toasted wood, honey, candied fruits.Herbal notes like sage, annis, are a nice, fresh companion. Aeration brings-when we think it is all finished, baking spices with baked apple, chocolate and some salty pastry. Coffee/caramel hints cannot hide from noticing. 8,9:On the palate it is round, syrupy with exotic/tropical fruits like roasted banana, pineapple, tangy fruits, plum jam. The wood is toasted, buttery, waxy, we find yeasty note, sweet spices, caramel note comes vaguely. Smokiness is light and nicely weaven in syrupy touch of this rum. 8,5:The finish is woody, a bit dry, astringent, with green apple, sultanas, some tropical fruits lingering from the palate, minimal spicy with smoky hints.

     Great young EMB with 7 years of tropical maturation. For me, a lot of tropical ageing is actually best for this Mark and I think these barrel picks for younger single casks are a bit of a shame - because these barrels will then be missing from future generations of EMB that have matured for a long time in the tropics 😉 Nevertheless, this one is very tasty and fruity.
