    How does this rum taste?

    The "AHJ" from the Clarendon distillery, bottled by Rest & Be Thankful, is a 25-year-old Jamaican rum distilled from molasses in 1998 using a pot still. With an ABV of 59.4%, users highlight its complex aromatic profile featuring citrus, spice, and wood notes complemented by spicy, woody, and salty flavors on the palate. Despite its extensive aging, some find it surprisingly light in color and nose intensity, while others appreciate the subtly complex fruity and nutty undertones. The taste balances between spicy, salty, and lightly smoky, catering to those who enjoy a more intricate profile. This rum distinguishes itself with a nuanced blend of aromas but may not appeal to everyone due to its distinct median ester level.

    Hier kommt im Vergleich dann so langsam der Klebstoff in's Spiel. Medizinischer, chemischer, dreckiger und vor allem reifer in den Fruchtnoten. Deutlich dickflüssiger, schwere Süße, reife Früchte am Gaumen. Hier gefällt's mir langsam richtig gut.

    RumX/Kirsch-Online-Tasting Rest&Be Thankful! Ein 25 Jahre alter Mony mit dem Mark AHJ. Mit knapp 90 gr/hlpa entspricht dies ungefähr dem Mark MBK und ist ein light Pot. Nase: fein und elegant, aber zu Beginn auch alkoholisch frisch. Vordergründig überwiegen Zitrusfrüchte, allen voran Zitrone, daneben aber auch süß-säuerliche Stachelbeere und Johannisbeere. Duftendes Kirschbaumholz und eine feine Honig-Note kommen hinzu, hinten raus wird er immer süßer und bekommt sogar eine leichte Rauchigkeit. Mit Geduld und Zeit ein feines Zeug. 8,4 Gaumen: intensiv, würzig, mit Anis und leicht speckig, dazu holzig-bitter und salzig zu Beginn, Grapefruit-Schale. Hinten etwas cremiger, aber es verbleiben Zitrusfrüchte und speckiges Holz. Für das hohe Alter recht filigran. Hätte ihn jünger geschätzt, was aber eindeutig dem geringen Ester-Gehalt und dem Light-Profil zuzuschreiben ist. Für mich zu schwach am Gaumen. 7,9

    Beeindruckende aromatische Palette voller Früchte, Holz, röstigen Bitteraromen, Schokolade und mineralischem, ins salzige hineinreichendem Geleit - reichhaltige Komplexität. Geht ins fordernde über mit seiner Bitterkeit und den Salznoten, definitiv kein easy sipper - die Komplexität spricht mich an, auch wenn es sich nicht um einen Rum für jeden Abend handelt.

    #4603 07.02.2024 online tasting with Rest & Be Thankful. Nose Faint roasted wood, fruits, floral, light mint, faint nutts. Palate Oily, smooth, light wood, faint roasted, fruity, anise, light mint and caramel. Finish Medium long, light wood, anise, dried fruit, light nutts. Wery thick slow moving curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some light varnish, smoke and raisin.
