“The 95 is a more woody profile than the 97, more greedy but less fruity. With aeration, it becomes more and more supple and pleasant. Noble wood, licorice and vanilla supported behind by some very ripe tropical fruits. Great depth. I love it. The mouth is of the same level, it is a very great rum. I find that a well done reduction towards 60/62% would have made it a bit more accessible. But it's a wonderful product, at a great price. I'm glad I picked up a bottle for myself!”

“Already on the nose it can be guessed, but on the palate it becomes conclusively clear: This is a top representative from the 1995 Clarendon vintage. Fully ripe tropical fruits, mint, wood, even the age is recognizable - in a positive sense. Very complex, yet round, fresh, yet heavy - the EMB profile of the 1995 vintage is definitely among the best of the EMB profile and also generally sets benchmarks for Jamaican releases. This rum is further proof of that. Exquisite.”

“I like it even better than the 97. Really intense after passion fruit, lime and other tropical fruits, lots of menthol, violets and vanilla pulp, as well as the typical for emb slightly meaty bacon note. Really cool.”

“An ideal bottle format for tasting, so don't hesitate to open it. The color is dark and marks 28 years of age. The nose is very fruity, with overripe fruit including pineapple, lime, a hint of encoustic and a marked woodiness without being heavy. The palate is rather soft, given the 68.3%, with less fruit than on the nose, more wood (I like that) without too much bitterness and still a hint of encaustic. The finish is very nice and long, with lime, herbs and a nice woody bitterness. A very fine rum!”

“The FD 95 in comparison with the Sponge and FD 97. The profile of the two 97s is definitely different from the 95. The 95 waits with a passion fruit note, and goes a little more in the direction of vanilla. But also on the 95, decent bean wax, overripe, tropical fruit (mango), barrel. On the palate rubber, barrel, passion fruit. Black tea on the finish. I like it at least as much as the 97.”

“Oh yes, I am thrilled to the max with this old tropical aged EMB. Nose: incredibly intense and voluminous, complex and dense. Very tasty! Lots of tropical fruit, pleasant wood, nicely spicy while still fresh and with wonderfully integrated high ABV. First, intense lemon and lime with orange zest and passion fruit and papaya. Light pineapple and distinct gooseberry come in. Besides that, floral with violets. The freshness comes not only from the lemon, but also from a light mint note. The fruit is capped by restrained esters and the associated fine vinegar essence, which also goes in the direction of polish. Fragrant cherry wood with neat vanilla and some black pepper round out the picture. Fantastic. 9.3 Palate: the nose continues consistently full-bodied and delicious on the palate. Again, that intense fruit with lime, passion fruit and pineapple. Here now also more intense mint with even more violet, which brings a clear association towards soap. Out the back stronger flavors of toasted barrel, vanilla, slightly bacony with salt. Eerily beautiful. 9.1 This '95 EMB is totally coherent. Makes a decent impression even after half an hour in the glass and is just delicious.”

“I like the 95 profile very much. Reference so far the RA for just under 200 euros the 0.5l. The one here now 108 euros for 0.35l. PLV therefore better, which gives another 0.1 points more.”

“An emb 95 tropique at this price arouses the curiosity, opened bottle for an immediate tasting, already light modification to the oxy, one is on a very old rum oriented on the wood, dusty wood, acid reglisse.The alcohol is better integrated compared to its cousin the paradisetto, it seems to be 55°, the fruits appear in mouth as well as a bitter/dirty point, it's very good but for me not 9, I find it a little short at the end of mouth, but be careful it's heavy anyway, it reminds me more of the 97 begno in fact, compared to the king paradisetto it's very easy to drink, the velier being very astringent at the attack in mouth, the ratio quality/price is incredible, has.see after 1 month of oxy....70 cl/200€ TOP de chez top, the continuation with the 23 years ds a few days”
