Habitation Velier Clarendon EMB 2010 9yr 62%

RX227 Very good Pot Still Rum 2,529 bottles Under 250€

“Rich, woody Jamaican rum with tropical notes.”

The Habitation Velier 2010 "EMB" Jamaican Rum, distilled at the Clarendon distillery, boasts a robust 62% ABV, floridly complex with notable tropical fruit and woodiness in aroma. Tasting brings forth its woody undertones, exotic fruits, rich spices, and the quintessential Jamaican ester profile, with hints of vanilla and a touch of glue. Users praise its long, warm finish and well-integrated alcohol despite its potency. However, some find it slightly too woody or spicy, and others note a need for aeration to unveil its full complexity. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a blend of boldness and balance, it is both spirited and refined, promising an engaging tasting experience.

“Despite the relatively young age this is a piece of heaven! If you add a few drops of water it releases even more tastes in your mouth previously hidden by the alcohol. An excellent rum that you should give a try. But careful it might want you to go for seconds and thirds 😊”

“Very good rum and probably the leading representative among the younger Monymusks. The deep mint note of the 1995 vintage is gone from this bottling, but still an excellent rum with a lively profile.”

“In the nose is hardly noticeable alcohol, first a clear fruity note that gradually moves towards spice! A slight sweetness is also perceptible. In the mouth, the rum immediately spreads very smoothly and fills the room completely. Initially, a slight sweetness that after initial slight burning turns into a woody spicy (anise) flavor! The rum seems a bit bitter and dry, but very tasty! The alcohol is super integrated!The finish is long and continues the woody spicy tone!I am very takenToday tasted again in comparison! He remains for me still reference15.04.23:Today the EMB times in comparison to the MMW from 2015 tasted.The EMB is clearly more present and complex in contrast to the MMW. This is clearly more harmonious !Overall a great duo”

“Edit: RumX Advent Calendar 12/17/21Nose dried fruit, caramel, warm, nutty, light passion fruit, some red and tropical fruit, raisins, prune, toasted, light glue. Mouth: woody, passion fruit, tropical fruit, full-bodied, tobacco, astringent, banana. Finish: banana, bitter, warm, grapey, cocoa, wood.Funny how your head fools you. Blind I would not have bet on MM. But no sooner did I look than I subsequently tasted the character of MM. A tropical beast that has it in itself, but it's worth it.”

“Took a few tries. I expected a beast and found balance. The rum is one tropical fruit salad with a good shot of rum in the sauce. Mango and passion fruit are the leading notes typical of clarendon. The wood brings spice and sweetness in fantastic balance. On the one hand, the young age keeps the rum nice and fresh, but on the other hand, it lacks some depth and complexity. A great rum. Unfortunately, the bottle I ordered never arrived 😢”

“Hmm, found it rather ... average. But maybe I'm just too spoiled by the almost consistently outstanding 95 EMBs. Positively striking: the thick, oily streaks in the glass after drinking. In any case, at the time when I could still buy the bottle without much search, with <100 EUR very attractive PLV on the initial market.Will give the rum a second chance.”

“Nose The first impression is so lovely that it makes one sit down. Imagine a thick fruit pot of plums, overripe bananas, figs and apricots, that were pickled in honey, almond paste and coconut butter for a month, and then refined with crushed vanilla pots, espresso beans and appleseeds and a very few mint leaves. It's a whole dessert composition. After a few minutes in the glass a slight dirtiness arises, with an idea of wet mud in the forest, mushrooms and noble mold (we offer bleu d'Auvergne or Roquefort). With water: Herbaceous notes up, with cress, more mud and wet leaves, old molasses and lavender oil. Palate Mi corazón! It's so full-bodied, beautifully herbaceous and really spicy (the tropes know how to squeeze an oak). Maybe a hair's breath too spicy. Beware of the funk now. We get tamarind paste, overripe bananas and fermented pineapple juice. With water: Doesn't loose intensity, just becomes more delicate, with vanilla cake and a wave of salted caramel fudge. Finish Longer than O. J. Simpsons trial, with a pronounced lemon and grapefruit bitterness, burnt agaves and the abrasion of new tyres (the taste of Le Mans).”

“Unexpectedly woody, though still subtle. Ester comes here only in 2nd place. The taste reminds me totally of marshmallows and brown sugar with the smoke in the air when you sit around the campfire. Fruits are barely present here, something orange-like in the finish as with Cointreau.”

“A very spicy Jamaican. Is my first Monymusk. For its 9 years, the barrel has had proper influence. Very spicy and woody finish with a slight sweetness that doesn't overpower the wood. Very complex. A very powerful Jamaican. For the price it is a clear buy recommendation.”
