Nicely balance column profile on the nose. Caramel, milk chocolate and wood. There are also quite some tropical fruits. I get overripe mangos on particular. Nice. Same sensation on the palate. Wood, some tropical and citrus fruits and salted caramel. Definitely a high quality column rum. Not quite Guyana territory in my book, yet a very good and interesting contender. From memory pretty close to the NRJ release. Edit: Having both side-by-side the NRJ delivers a bit more power and „sparkle“. The AW comes with a bit more wordiness but also more fruits. Still both are noticably the same stuff and both good bottlings.
Im Vergleich mit dem NRJ Monymusk ähneln sich beide doch sehr meiner Meinung nach. Beide sind sehr gute Abfüllungen und ich mag dieses Mark sehr gern. Aber so side by side, liegt für mich der NRJ doch ein wenig vorne.
Whisky Live Paris 2024 (Messebewertung, nur Gesamtnote und persönliche Kaufempfehlung): Kann mich nicht begeistern, genauso wenig wie die anderen drei Abfüllungen der zweiten Magnum Reihe. Ich muss keine Flasche davon haben. Frankonians Tasting Gang - 21.03.2025 - Nürnberg: Zwei Clarendons, der RX1053 aus NRJ Reihe und der RX21819 aus der Alex Webb Edition. Wer Ester erwartet wird bei beiden Abfüllungen enttäuscht. Würze, Holz, Kokosnuss, ein wenig Frucht. Nicht meine Lieblingsjamaikaner aus dem Low-Ester-Bereich, aber solide. Bei beiden könnte der Alkohol etwas besser eingebunden sein. Unter dem Strich, knapper Vorsprung für den NRJ.
Tasted at Whisky Live Paris 2024 - quick tasting notes, you've been warned. Aie aie aie! very disappointed, the bottle is pretty, but the juice is bland :( I was very keen to buy it if I liked it, but I didn't. Lots of vanilla, a little tropical fruit, average finish, no punch...
