For experienced palates: a 68% Clarendon that hits hard with overripe tropical fruit, rubber, smoke, salty umami and the famous blue‑cheese note. RumX members see it as a complex, quirky sipper, not a daily dram.

#12th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: Solvents, a hint of esters, cedar wood, fruity, peaches, trop. fruits Mouth: minty like some fisherman friends, fruity, spicy (first sip was like fruit schnaps), woody Finish: long, woody, minty, toaated, barrel notes, tannins, vanilla, honey I think it should be from Clarendon/LP ca.60% 15 years of aging
Review by Tschusikowsky
Nase und Abgang hatte ich tatsächlich Blauschimmelkäse geschmeckt🤔Aber leider geil! Die 68% vertragen auch ein wenig Wasser. Edit: RumX Advent 12.12.22 Heutiges Motto: wenns nach Käse schmeckt, ist der Rum aus der Schweiz 😜 Herrlich intensiv, Gummi, rote Früchte, Kiwi, Holz, salzig, vergorene Banane, sauer und eben (Blauschimmel-)Käse. Im Abgang noch Leder und Himbeer Konfitüre. Vermutung: Clarendon 2007 68% von CG 🎯🥳

unglaublich schweres, komplexes Teil. An der Nase habe ich Pflaumenkompott, allerlei aus dem Chemielabor (Wachs, Lack, Alkali, Gummi), Trockenfrüchte, Leder, vergorenes Obst. Am Gaumen Mokka, Fass, Fahrradschlauch, verbrannt. Das haut ordentlich rein. Den Alkohol finde ich sehr gut eingebunden…absolut positiv überrascht, der ist ja mal richtig gut!

Verkostet im RumX Adventskalender … super lecker und einer mei er Favourites bisher. Die Käsenote habe ich von mir aus nich wahrgenommen bzw. Nicht selbst die Assoziation hergestellt. Fand ihn einfach nur lecker, aber auch etwas speziell.

Énorme, complexe, un vrai plaisir atypique
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Monymusk to me is usually a rum that comes in pretty strong and this one is no exception. The nose is definitely Jamaica with rubber, varnish and lots of fruit. There is also some nice wood there and a bit of funk. The palate is also fruity with smoky wood and nuts, caramel and vanilla. There is a hint of leather there as well. The finish is long with smoky wood, spices and raisin. The leather is more present in the finish than on the palate.

Puh, kein Daily Sipper! Der hat erstaunlich viel Fass abbekommen für sein Alter! Hervorragender Rum!
Review by Jakob
Nicknamed "Stilton 2007"- takes some time to breathe, but then offers a fascinating combination of overripe fruit, wood, spices and...blue cheese. Sounds strange, tastes (to me) all the better for it. Completely own profile, which will certainly divide the tastes, but for me the basis for one of the - thanks to its uniqueness - best younger Clarendons up to here.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum jamaïcain très surprenant, qui mélange avec un nez délicat des notes de caoutchouc et de menthol aux fruits tropicaux, aux fruits secs, aux épices et aux notes pâtissières. L’attaque en bouche est plus intense avec les 68%, mais elle reste globalement maîtrisée et agréable, avec un léger côté phénolique, une perception de salée et de fumé et des arômes de caoutchouc, d’épices et de fruits tropicaux qui en font un rhum très équilibré et plus subtil qu’il n’y paraît. La finale est longue, sèche, épicée, un peu minéral, phénolique et fruitée, avec une sensation de caoutchouc brûlé toujours perceptible. Un très beau Clarendon, avec un profil complexe, intense mais délicat.
Review by Christian Rudt
Das ist also Nr 12, Der Schweizer Käse 😁 Wollte ich unbedingt Mal probieren nachdem ich die Tasting notes entdeckt hatte. daher Danke in die Schweiz das wir den im Kalender hatten 😁 Erstmal Luft dran lassen. Und ja neben einer Portion Gummi (wtf) und erwartbaren tropischen Früchten kommt hier wirklich eine Käse Note durch, die auf jeden Fall Mal äußerst spannend ist. Für ein Rum&Käse Tasting sicher prädestiniert. einfach ungewöhnliches Profil für einen Clarendon. Die Rumwelt offenbart doch immer wieder Überraschungen 😃

Un beau clarendon...une belle longueur.. Un nez harmonieux..
Review by Alexander Rasch
Sehr intensiver kräftiger Rum mit spannenden Noten die ich jedes Mal etwas anders wahrnehme. Am Gaumen kommt der Rum sehr vollmundig der Alkohol ist spürbar aber für mich völlig im Rahmen. Zeigt eine leichte Kräuter Note neben der vergorenen Frucht und dem Holzeinfluss. Mir gefällt er, auch wenn er nicht für jeden Tag ist.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Sehr abgefahrener Clarendon. Die 68% finde ich super eingebunden. Käse habe ich jetzt nicht unbedingt in der Nase.
