    How does this rum taste?

    The Adelphi Selection from the Clarendon distillery in Jamaica offers a robust rum experience, distilled in 2003 from molasses using a pot still and aged for 14 years. This limited edition, with an ABV of 58.8%, features a vibrant ester-forward aroma, complemented by tropical fruit and nutty undertones. Users note a spicy, barrel-influenced taste with hints of varnish and citrus, leading to a long, dry finish. While praised for its complex structure and full-bodied flavor, some find the alcohol integration less refined. This rum is reminiscent of esteemed Jamaica styles, appealing to those seeking a bold and distinctive profile.

    Spicy, fruity ,acidic furry and intense. Has somehow something of kiwi with roasted peanut butter, plus lots of wood, spices like nutmeg and red pepper, slightly smoky and after fermented tropical fruit. Nice monymusk, especially the nose is really fun! Only overall a little too acidic and the alcohol could be a little better integrated.

    #4287 07.10.2023 this was a 7 hour long event with 3 friends and it was a nice day. A totally different rum from the previous ones. Fresh with a heavier profile. Fruity with nice esters and roasted wood. The palate is medium dry, warm/spicy with fruit and some varnish. The finish is long and dry with a spicy touch.

    My vacation bottle. Was unfortunately all too quickly gone😋

    In der Nase schön würzig mit feinem Esternoten. Im Mund dann sehr würzig mit Tabak und Holznoten. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden im Abgang dann sogar schokoladig. Macht Spaß aber preislich natürlich ne Hausnummer.
