Clarendon Flensburg Rum Company EMB (Special Bottling for 13th German Rumfest) EMB 2009

Most praise the fruity, gluey Clarendon nose and long, complex finish with minty Amarone notes. Critics find it too sharp, bitter and alcoholic. Consensus: interesting, demanding, but far from universally liked.

    How does this rum taste?

    Wild Clarendon for heat-tolerant nerds
    Who is this rum for?

    If you already like punchy Clarendon EMBs and don’t fear a rough, herbal Amarone finish, this rewards patience and a few drops of water; otherwise it’ll probably just feel harsh.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV or alcohol burn, and drinkers wanting an easy, sweet sipper or clean, polished profile without bitterness or medicinal notes.

    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.
