Habitation Velier Monymusk Monymusk Jamaica Single Rum MMW 2015 7yr 59%

"Starts off with intense notes of roasted nuts and beacon, which evolves into tropical fruits and MM herbal notes after some time. On the palate it is very elegant and way less punchy than expected. Feels almost „light“. Nevertheless very nice one combining roasted notes with a basked of tropical fruits and spices."

"A very good classic MM. It reminds me strongly of the 2010 from HV!Too bad I was too late! Thanks to Artur for the sample15.04.23:Tasted today in direct comparison to the 2010 EMB (yes, is not quite fair, because different Marks)The EMB is clearly more present and complex, but the MMW is more harmonious and relaxed to drink. Overall, a great duo (thanks to Mike for the bottle)."

"#4696 07.04.2024 Relaxing with a few samples. Nose Intense, light wood, faint smoke, banana, overripe, light herbs, faint medicinal. Palate Intense, warm, fruity, light iodine, plum, wood, tannins, clove, light herbs, light coffee. Finish Very long and warm, light cherry, wood, tannins, light mint, cinnamon. This one was such a punch that I tried to add a bit of water after which it changed completely. Far more notes are released with a few drops of water."

"Very tasty tropical ripened MMW that is nice and refreshing. With unusual tropical fruits like guava, starfruit and kedongdong (Spondias dulcis) ... plus vanilla, spice, some bacon and some sherbet and crushed dextrose. Absolutely recommended at the release price."

"Have the sample now for the third time in the glass, with the intention of writing a tasting note. Now it is empty, now it must be. In all three tastings I perceived him a little different. The first time very most fruity, then always a little more herbal. In this tasting, right after the Blackadder MMW it seems to me like a rounder version of that one. The fruits are more yellow and less tropical, dle menthol note is missing, this olive and herbal note is very similar.In the mouth the HV is much softer and balanced it, not necessarily deeper. Pleases me well, without completely knocking me off my feet."

"Very solid monymusk. Despite the young age nice aroma. Who likes the profile will have much pleasure here. I do not need a bottle of it, but nice to have tasted him."

"Very good representative of monymusk little aged but with a nice personality. It's Jamaican style, pleasant, but not so easy. I like it a lot, and the more it goes, the more I like clarendons/monymusk but I find that on this distillery, the tropical maturation has its importance."

"Although in my opinion monymusk gives its best with long aging I have to say that I really like this profile!Less of the roasted and barrel part and more of the ripe fruit and herbs!For me it is really promoted!"

"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."

"Delicious young MM .... Citrus , cherry , mango .... slight sweetness . Floral extracts nose gets much better again after 20min. Somewhat reminiscent of cherry floral scent."

"Auch ein hervorragender Rum. Wirklich eine schöne Nase. Vanille, Holz, Karamell. Sehr schön. Außerdem ziemlich würzig und holzig. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls eine leichte Karamellnote. Außerdem würzig und holzig. Sehr vollmundig. Lecker."

"Returning over this one a year later, I lower a lot my review, which was very positive at the time, now it's much lesser. The best mmw monymusk, but not that good. The nose is a bit too closed, vanilla and some spices with tropical fruit in the background. A medical/gluey note is overall present and overwhelming. Drinking shows a bit of wood and a lot of tropical fruits."

"Ein ausgewogener Jamaikaner, der auf jeden Fall genügend Lagerung gesehen hat, um die Esterbombe mit weiteren Aromen zu ergänzen. Positiv zu erwähnen sind die Karamell- und Schokoladennote, sowie direkte Aromen aus der Lagerung wie Holz und Vanille. Außerdem schön blumig und fruchtige Mangoassoziationen."

"Schöne fruchtige Nase. Setzt sich am Gaumen fort, aber dann kommt etwas pflanzliches und blumiges dazu, Kräuter und ein Bisschen Minze. Keine Offenbarung, aber gefällt mir eigentlich ganz gut. Die fast 60% stehen dem Rum auch ganz gut."
