    How does this rum taste?

    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.

    Ooof der brennt wirklich nur, wenn man nen schlechten Tag hat - aber wenn man mal nen guten Tag hat, wo man das Brennen weniger merkt ist das einfach nur ne krasse Geschmacksexplosion. Aber bisher haben fast alle EMBs, die ich bis jetzt im Glas hatte, extrem gebrannt - deshalb führe ich das auf eine destillattypische Zusammensetzung der Ester und Congener zurück. Die Nase ist verdammt schön mit Assoziationen von gelben Früchten,Klebstoff, Vanille und Eichenholz. Am Gaumen liefert er zuerst kurz die typischen EMB Marker und geht dann in einen sehr langen und dreckigen Abgang über. Wirklich jeder Schluck wechselt im Abgang und ich habe entweder voll das rosinige Amaroneprofil ( für mich das beste Amaronefinish, das ich bis jetzt bei einer Spirituose hatte ) - oder die Rinde von sehr lange gereiftem Hartkäse auf der Zunge. Ich finde diesen Rum mega Spannend und komplex - 100€ finde ich jetzt auch keinen übertriebenen Ausgabepreis bei 9 Jahre tropischer Reifung +x . Da ich die wirklich sehr ernüchternden Bewertungen für diesen Rum subjektiv überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen kann, vermute ich, dass vielen entweder das Amaroneprofil in Verbindung mit EMB nicht zusagt oder man schon ab der Schärfe, xie der Rum auch wirklich mitbringt, nicht wirklich weitergeschmeckt hat.

    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

    Die Nase ist recht fruchtig, am Gaumen kommt er dann aber ziemlich brachial und ungezähmt daher. Erst recht bitter mit Minze, Kräutern und Eukalyptus, die Alkoholintegration könnte besser sein. Seine Stärken spielt er dann im vergleichsweise langen und fruchtigen Abgang aus. Etwas Wasser macht ihn runder und besser.

    Extrem bissig, scharf und unausgewogen. Nase war vielversprechend, aber im Mund komplett enttäuschend. Da Bewertung ab 6.0 angenehm bedeutet, Rating entsprechend niedrig. Leider überhaupt nicht angenehm und größte Enttäuschung auf dem GRF 2024.
