180 EUR

Ø Market Value

Very good 146 bottles Under 250€

Introducing the Flensburg Rum Company The Bottle Shop EMB, a rare and exquisite rum hailing from the Clarendon distillery in Jamaica. This limited-release treasure was distilled in 1995 using Molasses with a Pot Still and aged for a remarkable 27 years, achieving a cask strength of 65.6% ABV. Encased in only 146 bottles, this rum is unsurprisingly considered a standout among enthusiasts. Tasting notes reveal a fascinating bouquet of glue, papaya, tropical fruit, woody, and herbal aromas, followed by a rich and complex palette of woody, barrel, dried fruit, cocoa, and mocha flavors. Users praise its elegance, intense fruitiness, and perfectly integrated alcohol, appreciating the menthol, and roasted wood notes in its character. This unique EMB 95 vintage has garnered admiration from the RumX community for its exceptional quality and refinement.

„Tropical storage, aromatic complexity - the complete package is here. You have to like the Jamaica style, no question, but the massive depth of the 95 Clarendons is simply impressive.“

„erneut ein ausgezeichneter EMB 95! Viele tropische Früchte wie Papaya, Mango, Pfirsich strömen in die Nase. Aus der Erinnerung heraus würde ich sagen, der FRC ist noch eine Spur ‚mentholig-metallischer’ unterwegs als der RA und der RC, beiden aber absolut ebenbürtig.“

„I was so lucky to try this one because I didn't get a bottle and now it's kind of expensive. A really good rum with all the Clarendon flavours. The fruit is very light but combined with the light floral note it feels wonderful on the palate. Intense and lightly dry and I love the roasted wood notes. Draws nice curtains and the flavours intensify in the empty glass over time.“

„27 Jahre alt und davon 23 Jahre tropisch gereift! Ein 95er EMB! Super gut 😊 Nase: kräftig aber harmonisch, intensiv und wunderbar rund. Eine tolle würzig-fruchtige Aromenwolke strömt aus dem Glas. Alte, getrocknete Blutorange mit süßlicher Zitrone, dazu eine Mischung aus Sauerkirsche, schwarze Johannisbeere, Stachelbeere und mehliger Banane. Eingefasst in altem Zedernholz mit etwa Holzsäure, ganz leicht vinegar und abgerundet mit Sahne Toffee, Ahornsirup und runden Hauch Lakritze. Wow. 91 Gaumen: Wahnsinn. Intensiv, kräftig und auch hier wieder total rund. Da passt alles gut zusammen. Tolle Geschmackskurve: anfangs leicht adstringent und bitter, dann etwas metallisch und salzig, bevor intensiv fruchtig Zitronenschale, Limette, Kumquat und schließlich Aprikose übernehmen. Dabei ist er annehmen holzig und wird hinten zunehmend minziger. Der Alkohol ist toll eingebunden 91 Dieser Rum überzeugt auf ganzer Linie.“

„woody, subtle… What an elegant Clarendon. There're more hints of wood and mint than the previous EMB 95 in my impression, just the elements that I like.“

„Also a classy representative of the 1995 EMB vintage. Compared to the Velier 2010 better integrated alcohol, more wood and a somewhat more pronounced menthol note, which is not disturbing. Somewhat rounder, but less oily in consistency than the Rumclub 1995, but overall on a comparable level. May many more bottlings from this vintage follow!“

„Bewertung unter Vorbehalt … war einer der letzten verkosteten Rums nach einem langen Messetag. Aber ich bin mir (fast) sicher, dass das der selbe Rum wie die Tara Abfüllung ist. Müsste man mal side by side testen. Wie alle 1995 EMB grandios gut“
