Clarendon Flensburg Rum Company EMB (Special Bottling for 13th German Rumfest) EMB 2009 9yr 65,1%

RX21505 Good Pot Still Rum Single Cask 140 bottles
“Bold fruit, complex finish, intense alcohol heat.”

The Flensburg Rum Company EMB, crafted at Jamaica's Clarendon distillery and bottled by Oldman Spirits GmbH, is a 2009 vintage pot-still rum. Notably potent at 65.1% ABV, it features a vibrant aroma of red fruits, esters, and grapefruit. Though time in the glass softens its initial intensity, the palate is dominated by red fruits, heat, and unmistakable tannic qualities with barrel undertones. Its finish, imbued with Amarone notes, adds complexity but not all find the high alcohol content seamlessly integrated. This limited-edition release of 140 bottles offers a unique tasting experience, reflecting tropical maturation and nuanced complexity. Rum enthusiasts might appreciate its bold character, yet some express wish for better balance and less harshness.

“Als Welcome Drink auf der Kirsch Cruise gereicht bekommen. Die Nase war noch recht viel versprechend was der Gaumen leider nicht halten konnte. Für mich zu alkoholisch und zu scharfkantig. Schade Kirsch, das war wohl nix. Tut mir leid, aber die Bewertung reicht nicht mal für angenehme er ist einfach nur mittelmäßig”

“Tolle Nase. Die tropische Reifung bringt eine tolle Intensität rein. Am Gaumen leider recht biestig.”
