    The Flensburg Rum Company EMB (Special Bottling for the 13th German Rumfest) emanates from the renowned Clarendon distillery in Jamaica. Distilled in 2009 and aged for 9 years, this limited release offers only 140 bottles and boasts a hefty ABV of 65.1%. The rum presents a complex nose with red fruits, glue, esters, and tropical fruit notes. On the palate, it shows intense red fruits, a hot alcoholic bite, and nuances of roasted and barrel flavors. Opinions are divided; while some appreciate its tropical vibrancy and complexity, others find the alcohol overpowering, with mixed reviews on its Amarone barrel finish.

    "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"

    "Great nose. The tropical maturation brings in a great intensity. Unfortunately quite beastly on the palate."

    "Nase sehr schön mit tropischen Noten, am Gaumen viel Minze, Bitterkeit im Abgang, Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein."
