How does this rum taste?

A robust, intensely flavored Jamaican EMB rum with complex notes of fruits, wood, and spices. Despite its high ABV, it remains well-balanced. Some find it too herbal or sour, but others appreciate its depth and character—certainly an acquired taste.

“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.”

“Nose: V&M > RA > RC = FSB-BS The lower ABV bottling presents the more fruity and peasant nose straight up. Others significantly more heavy, dark and sharp. Palate: [Velier] > RA > RC > FSB-BS > V&M On the palate I have to give it to the higher proof combatants as they are all properly evil in what they do. However, imho V&M bottled their cask at the exact right ABV to enjoy the EMB right from the bottle.”

“What a beautiful, complex and intense nose: fruity and spicy. Beautiful orange and tangerine notes with sweet cherry and tart kiwi and gooseberry underpinnings, respectively. At first there's a tart sweetness of maple syrup that goes sweeter and sweeter towards orange syrup. I still find vanilla and a slight hint of tobacco leaf. The high % is barely noticeable.Palate: just as intense and delicious as the nose, very full-bodied to boot. Fruity, spicy, slightly woody. I find just as dried orange as prune, dried currant and tropical fruit. There is also a slight mint note to be found. There is also some resinous tobacco. It also has a nice nuttiness, vlt Brazil nut. A really excellent old EMB, with the alcohol super well integrated.”

“in the other glass the RA EMB 95, and I must say that both are already very similar. The RC seems perhaps a touch fresher / more floral (and something more in the direction of Marzipan pastry going), but that may simply be because the RA is already longer open (and more oxidized). Since there is the RA zT still to have at a significantly lower price, it is currently the better choice for me.”

“Tasted against the 3 EMB of Colours of Rum (no10), Tara Spirits and Fine Drams (97) ... all 95s quite close and at similar levels. The Colours of Rum was the fruitiest, the Tara had a lot of tannin but really very similar level.”

“Great old EMB! In direct comparison to the Velier 2010 noticeably better integrated alcohol, and, unsurprisingly, more wood. Compared to the Bottle Shop 1995 a little less menthol, but a little more oily and bulky, but overall on par. EMB remains simply one of my favorite profiles; to be able to drink rums of this type and this degree of maturity is without doubt a privilege.”

“Ist mir in allen Dimension zu viel. Holz, Menthol, säuerlich, kräutrig. Die charakteristischen pilzig/pelzigen Noten wirken mit dem Rest eher deplaziert. Auch weil die Frucht total untergeht. Der Alkohol ist mir zu dominant. Wasser verändert sehr zum positiven. Der am wenigsten ansprechende EMB den ich bisher hatte.”

“The 95 EMBs know how to convince with their very complex profile, so also here. Menthol, black tea, barrel notes, plus a decent spicy note of pepper and anise. High level.”

“At the Community Tasting Nuremberg I was deeply introduced to the world of Clarendon and have learned to love it. Whereby for me the differences between 7 different bottlings were rather small. I liked all of them. Probably it was more because of the quantity why I could not really distinguish anything. Will all again in peace individually Nachverkosten.”

“Ouf ! C'est trop intense pour moi. Beaucoup de fruits très murs, de vernis, de bois, de notes de brûlé et acidulé. Il faut avoir le palais bien accroché ! Qq gouttes d'eau lui fait du bien et lui rajoute des arômes cacaotés.”

“Ja Moin Mooiin! Was für ein Spektakel! Zunächst habe ich ihn in der Nase für ein ziemliches Understatement gehalten, das liegt aber daran, dass dieser Bursche sich erstmal öffnen muss. Insgesamt: Was für ein komplexes Feuerwerk aus würzig, fruchtig, Fass, Anis, passender Schärfe, dann wieder Frucht. Einfach nur intensiv. Ich war Unvorbereitet auf die 67%, aber mein lieber Scholli liefert dieser Rum ab. Erste Sahne.”
