Im Direktvergleich mit dem Artesanal und Rum Club mit der deutlichsten Süsse und einem sehr runden Profil. Gefällt mir sehr gut, tolle Ausgewogenheit, ohne zu Lasten der aromatischen Komplexität zu gehen. Eindrückliches Niveau, exquisit.
Nochmal neu verkostet gegen COR no10 und Rum Club. Alle auf ähnlichen Niveau. cOR am fruchtigsten, Tara mit viel Tannin Sehr leckerer und schön öliger 1995 EMB … taugt mir. Minze, Politur, Leder, Holz, Frucht und sogar Blumen. Viel besser, als ich erwartet habe … ich gebe hier eine starke 91 mit Tendenz zum Aufrunden (was ich vielleicht beim nächsten Probieren tun werde)
Nose EMB, you are the holy mark of Jamaica! So clearly EMB that it almost hurts. See, lavender sticks and fermented mangoes, pineapples and bananas. Precious rose oil (doTERRA quality) and thick liquorice. Wet earth and muddy roots from the jungle nearby (what?!) plus some hints of nutmeg and cloves, giving it a nice christmassy twist. That's complexity lasses and lads. After a while in the glass one also finds some stewed apricots, alright. The nose rattles like a snake. Palate Bursts like a cannonball! Thick and heavy the initial start coats the whole palate, delivering bittersweet pink grapefruits juice, caramel, pineapples, dark chocolate and hints of rubber, almost caroni-esque. Very good. 65,6%, sure? Wonderfully integrated we'd say. Now, it's lacking a wee bit of creaminess compared to the Velier, but that just might be our personal taste. Still it has a profound sweetness with being super sippable and delicate compared to some other old Jamaicans, like the two Monymusk 1984 by Velier for example. Finish Quite sure you can taste it even the second day after. So much about the length. The cloves, the grapefruit peels and the rubber just don't wanna leave the party.
Hammerstoff. Frucht, Holz, Eucalyptos, Tabak in perfekter Symbiose. Abgang leicht bitter aber für 26 Jahre Fasslagerung mehr als vertretbar. Alkohol mit fast 66% sensationell eingebunden. Traumstoff!!!
