Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon MPG 2000

Tasted during the RumX masterclass. Huge thanks the guys from R&BT for presenting their range! Very nice exploration of some low(we) ester marks. While some of the noses were a little light, the long aged expressions are very interesting on the palate across the board. Very interesting! :) Round and pleasant low ester Clarendon.

Spicy mid-low ester Clarendon. Nice fruity notes with pear, tropical fruits, yellow fruits and also some kiwi. Licorice is also there. Pleasantly drinkable. On the palate a hint of calvados, fruit, licorice again and vanilla and nutmeg.

Master tasting by Rest & BeThankful via RumX In addition to the sweet fruit, this MM surprises with a menthol note on the nose. Very unusual. On the palate it is classically fruity and sweet, with some allspice, cask and tannins. This interplay of aromas continues on the finish. This is a very good and balanced MM

#4601 07.02.2024 online tasting with Rest & Be Thankful. Nose Light roasted wood, light ester, fruity, floral, light mint. Palate Oily, faint roasted wood, spicy, fruits, light ester, medium dry, light herbs. Finish Medium long, oily, spicy, faint wood, dried fruit. Thick slow moving curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some faint chocolate and light citrus notes.

Spicy, pleasantly good. More than positively surprised.

Another (visually!) very pale Monymusk representative from Rest & Be Thankful. The nose is very full-bodied: lots of yellow fruit, something medicinal/smoky, spice is also there, cask and wood less so. On the palate, I find a good continuation of the impressions from the nose. The roasted aromas and the influence of finesse are somewhat more pronounced. In addition, the alcohol doesn't seem very well integrated to me and a hint of wet hay emerges surprisingly. The finish is even more spicy and barrel-heavy but without bitterness. Very good rum but not my favorite in terms of profile.

A good, pleasant rum. Surprising too, as the exotic fruits are supplanted by white-fleshed fruits. But for its 20 years of age and its price, I find it a little thin on the palate, and you can find better in the same style if you have €200 to spend on a nice bottle.

RumX/Kirsch online tasting Rest&Be Thankful! 21 years old and, with 104 gr/hlpa ester, belongs to the Mark MPG, a light pot. Nose: this has a little more substance than its low-ester colleagues. Dominant are citrus fruits with gooseberry and a fine honey sweetness that almost resembles sugar water. Behind this is cherry wood. A spiciness that I can't clearly categorize and also slightly smoky at the back. Very pleasant and round. 8.6 Palate: pleasantly intense and delicious, starts with a lovely honey sweetness, accompanied by spice and some wood. The sweetness turns to aniseed and licorice. A mixture of apricot and apple or pear gets ready. Now appears creamier and slightly bacony. The apricot remains present in the medium-long finish. I like it. 8.4

After the RumX R&BT tasting on February 7, I tasted the rest again with more calm. The sixth rum in the glass is again a MM, with MPG Marque, already a step above MBK/AHJ, but still rather low ester range with 110-125 gr/hlpa. I like it quite a bit on the nose, with a tropical fruit basket, spiciness (caraway bread), caramel, and a freshness that I associate most with aniseed. It was my favorite in the tasting after the previous five.

Fruits, woody aromas, herbs - aromatically multi-layered. Exciting mélange, intense, quite demanding - yet coherent and well-balanced without being boring. It doesn't reach the pinnacle, it lacks the unique selling point, but it is still of a high standard. Pleasing.

Da ich beim Tasting leider, dank der Deutschen Bahn nicht dabei sein konnte, hole ich das jetzt mal in Ruhe nach. Vom ersten Eindruck ist er meines Erachtens der beste von den Samples in diesem Tasting. Auch der Preis ist im Gegensatz zu den anderen auch "günstig".

Gentle nose with bright fruits and slight spices in the background. Tge palate gets rather sharp from the spices, astringent mouthfeel, rather dry & less fruity. Well integrated alcohol. Vanilla on the finish, the spices stay for quite some time. Astringent finish.

Es waren Fünf verschiedene Clarendon monymusk abgefüllt von Rest&Be thankful im überwiegend Low Ester Bereich im Vergleich. Der Sieger bei mir RX18817-->Mark MMW und mit Estern von 224,2 gr/hlpa der höchste Wert liegt bei mir in Front dahinter folgt dann mit Abstand dieser MPG mit knapp über 100 gr/hlpa Ester. Brennt relativ stark bringt viel Zitrusfrucht aber bringt etwas mehr Funk. Könnte aber auch etwas balancierter sein.

Rest & Be Thankful Tasting 7. Februar Die Nase ist anders als von mir erwartet. Birne und gelbe Früchte dominieren. Mit der Zeit kommen leichte Mentholnoten durch und der Honig erweckt fast den Eindruck eines gesüßten Rums. Im Mund dann würziger als vom Geruch erwartet. Im Abgang ein spannendes Spiel von Banane und pflanzlichen Noten.

Komplexer, Honig-Noten in Richtung Rockley 2000.
