    How does this rum taste?

    Dry, spicy Clarendon for seasoned sippers
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like the drier Clarendon/Monymusk side (MBK, older low‑ester casks) and want more age and spice than funk, this will scratch that itch—just know it’s subtle, not explosive.

    Not really suitable for

    Those wanting big Jamaican funk, heavy tropical fruit, or soft, sweet sippers, and anyone sensitive to 56% ABV or critical of high prices relative to flavor intensity.

    RumX/Kirsch-Online-Tasting Rest&Be Thankful! 24 Jahre alter Low Ester AHJ (ein altes Mark, ist heute gleich einen MBK), sehr ähnlich dem anderen AHJ. Nase: cremig, mit Zitrusfrüchten, Banane, Stachelbeere und grünem Apfel. Leicht holzig und würzig. Zudem ist da eine feine Honig-Note. Mit der Zeit entfaltet er sich mehr und mehr. Sehr schön und fein. 8,4 Gaumen: deutlich intensiver als die Nase. Sehr süß zu Beginn, mit Honig und vor allem Süßholz. Hat eine sehr cremige, fast speckige Textur. Er ist aber auch leicht salzig-pfeffrig. Alles -auch der Alkohol- gut ausbalanciert. Da gibts noch einiges zu entdecken. Muss mich noch an die low-light Jamaikas heran arbeiten. 7,9

    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

    Überrachend schwach an der Nase! Gewürze, Karamell, Honig, Apfel, Himbeer. Im Mund etwas besser und intensiver, immer noch Apfel und Gewürze. Komplexer und langer Abgang, recht scharf, aber auch röstig/rauchig und pflanzlich, sowie süß. Schwer einzsutufen als Gesamtpaket. Wenn die Nase besser wäre, könnte ich mehr Punkte vorstellen.

    Nach dem RumX R&BT Tasting am 7.2. den Rest nochmal mit mehr Ruhe verkostet: Als dritter Rum ein 24jähriger Monymusk mit dem alten Marque AHJ, was nun dem MBK Marque enrspricht. An der Nase ähnlich wie der vorherige MBK, vielleicht etwas weniger ‚zitronig‘ und mehr Richtung winterliche Gewürzmischung. Am Gaumen recht würzig.
