    How does this rum taste?

    The AHJ rum, distilled in 1998 at Jamaica's Clarendon distillery and aged for 25 years, is characterized by its pot still production and 56% ABV. Crafted from molasses and bottled by Rest & Be Thankful, this rum presents a dynamic profile. Users highlight aromas of green apple, vanilla, and spice, transitioning to flavors of apple, fruity banana, young wood, and vanilla. Comments reveal a well-balanced alcohol presence with a spicy, sometimes sweet, aftertaste. While its sophisticated nose and fruity, creamy palate are lauded, some note its spice dominance and lack of tropical maturation.

    An der Nase leicht und fruchtig, überwiegend gelbe Früchte. Vanille, Röstnoten und Holz sind auch dabei. Am Gaumen geschmeidig, süß und wieder sehr fruchtig mit gut eingebundenem Alkohol. Der Nachklang hat eine leichte metallische Note. Sehr guter fruchtiger Clarendon, preislich leider nicht so attraktiv.

    Ein eher trockener Rum, bei dem die mineralischen und etwas säuerlichen Noten im Vordergrund stehen, dahinter dann die Frucht (grüner saurer Apfel und unreife Bananen). Hat was, brauch ich aber keine ganze Pulle von. Alter Falter, der Preis. Dafür lieber ein schönes Wochenende im Spa einbuchen. Hat man mehr von. 84/100 oder 5/10

    Sehr gefällige Nase: süße Banane, Vanille, etwas Holz und rote Früchte. Dazu eine pfefferige aber dennoch frische Schärfe. Im Mund schließt er sich nahtlos an den Geruch an, der Alkohol ist auch super eingebunden. Im Abgang dann noch leichte Anklänge von Kaffee. Gefällt mir sehr gut!

    Nachverkostumg der drei Clarendon Low Ester Abfüllungen aus dem Rest & Be Thankful Tasting. Höheres Mark und Ester als der MBK und schöne Noten von Vanille, Tabak, Papaya, gelbe Früchte … gefällt mir aber insgesamt weniger gut als der MBK.
