    Very delicious balanced elegant rum from MM Jamaica 🤤🤤 Classic fruity nose paired with some esters, baking spices, yellow fruits and wood. In mouth the adventure continues with various fruits paired with fresh mint, roasted and notes of the barrel with some hints of ester and some hidden notes of licorice. The alcohol is integrated very well. The finish is medium long and dry. A mix of fruits and the barrel.

    This is yet another of the rare rums from the closed Ekte bottling company. A unique cask bottled in Denmark. The nose is fruity with sweet chilli and some pepper. There is something roast in there as well and saltiness. The palate is well balanced and complex and fruity as well as spicy (pepper). There is a bit of wood after resting for a while. The finish is longand spicy with a bit of wood and pineapple.

    One of my first single casks, tasted at the fair and only made rudimentary notes. Now I have finally been able to taste a sample. Thanks, Tobias!The nose is 100% continental maturity and reminds a bit of uncolored Guyana pot stills with anise, wet wood and stone fruit. Rather buttery, sour esters and a vegetal side between peppers and gooseberries.Much more Jamaican in the mouth: fruity esters with peach present. The wet wood of the nose remainsIn the long finish it becomes super creamy and the esters bring nose and mouth together, complemented by the green smokiness of curry leaves.This somehow reads more complex than it tastes, but especially in the mouth it quickly runs out of facets. A good rum, but the bottle for just under 170€ I do not buy.

    Heute habe ich einen Rum im Glas, den vermutlich die wenigsten von euch kennen, geschweige denn jemals probiert haben. Den Abfüller gibt es schon seit ein paar Jahren nicht mehr, er ist über Dänemark hinaus nie so richtig bekannt geworden. Danke, Nivius, für das Sample, so kann meine Flasche noch geschlossen bleiben. Aber ich muss sagen, den Flaschenkauf (130 EUR für 0,5 Liter, Ladenhüter bei Rum & Co.) bereue ich nicht. Dieser Rum ist, obwohl genauso 19 Jahre alt und im selben seltenen Jahr 1997 destilliert wie merkwürdigerweise ein anderer Clarendon von Ekte (RX14530), um Längen besser als jener. Hier tanzt weiche, ölige, gelbe Süße angeschmiegt an pfeffrigen Anis einen Liebeswalzer. Bin begeistert! Schade, dass dieser Rum selbst auf dem Zweitmarkt mehr oder weniger verschwunden ist, denn der lohnt sich. Ach so, obwohl wie gesagt aus dem Jahr 1997, das bei Clarendon im letzten Jahr allgemein für Furore sorgte, hat dieser Rum nichts, aber auch überhaupt nichts mit den anderen 97er Monymusks, z. B. dem von Fine Drams, zu tun. Ob das an der kontinentalen Reifung liegt?
