How does this rum taste?
- Unique medicinal nose
- Complex ester profile
- Bold and spicy character
The Rum Jamaica (Flag Series) EMB, distilled at Clarendon in 2010, is a striking Jamaican rum. Bottled at cask strength, its high 66.2% ABV provides a bold experience. The nose delivers medicinal, glue, and citrus aromas, transitioning to a palate rich with esters, citrus notes, and young wood. User reviews highlight its unconventional, spicy character and fruity complexity, with influences from tropical fruits and spices. Aging for 13 years gives it a layered profile, though some find the alcohol poorly integrated. As a limited release of only 230 bottles by La Maison Du Whisky, it presents a unique tasting opportunity for enthusiasts seeking distinct Jamaican rum profiles.

To Clarendon
"Nose starts of rather harsh but with some time to breath develops a nice basket of continental fruits, intermingling with some classic „Clarendon herbs“, spices and notes of glue. I‘d be interested to get some info on continental vs. tropical aging on this one. For me the nose displays a continent Clarendon profile at least 🤔 On the palate better balanced then I‘ve expected. Citrus notes, vanilla, some wood and sweetness. Lemon macarons! Best out of the 2010 EMBs so far for me."
"Leckerer Clarendon. Leider zu teuer für mein Empfinden."
"Die Nase empfinde ich als ausserordentlich fruchtig (tropische und Zitrusfrüchte), dazu frisch und etwas Vanille. Das ist richtig gut.. am Gaumen zeigt er dann aber sein wahres junges und ungestümes Gesicht. Mit voller Wucht präsentieren sich Zitrusfrüchte, Gewürze, Holz und eine starke Bitternote.. das muss man erst einmal verdauen..mit längerer Standzeit wird er aber immer gefälliger.. eine junge gute Abfüllung eines Clarendon, aber deutlich zu hochpreisig"
