Clarendon Rum Artesanal Jamaica Rum EMB 2009

Here's the surprise: the nose is the best part — overripe tropical fruit, glue, varnish and a little caramel that a lot of tasters genuinely enjoy. Then the palate turns hard, with sharp herbs, mint, wood and petrol, and that 64.3% alcohol never quite settles. One trick members swear by: pour it, walk away two hours, and it opens up. A dirty, challenging Clarendon.

How does Clarendon Rum Artesanal Jamaica Rum EMB 2009 taste?

Fun nose, hot and unbalanced palate Most agree the nose is fun but the palate is out of balance, with alcohol that sticks out and a dry, bitter, herbal finish. A few dirty-funk fans love it anyway.

Nase: würzig-fruchtig, künstlich-metallisch. Wenn ich genau hinein rieche, habe ich einen leicht verbrannten Plastik-Geruch. Darüber liegt aber deutlich eine feine Sirup-Süße, die mich an Orangeat erinnert. Leicht vinegar ist er auch. Gaumen: kräftig und intensiv. Leicht bitter, würzig und total minzig. Dazu künstlich Richtung Plastik, fast schon dreckig. Frische Limettenschale gibt etwas herbes und doch fruchtiges. Limette und Minze und irgendetwas Künstliches auch im Abgang. Ein bisschen herb-bitter, aber am Ende ein guter EMB.

8.5/10

8,6:On the nose, the first impression we get is vegetal with grass, leather notes and fruity with overripe tropical fruits like kiwi, banana. Then it becomes medicinal with some glue and roasted. Aeration brings out even more vegetal notes as herbs and mint, citrusy nuances with some lime peel, bergamot.It is fresher than before, as floral notes join, is fibrous, wood is a nice companion. We cannot avoid some metallic notes... Well balanced and round. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is a bit rough, but tasty, as chamomile, mint and herbs soften spiciness and some intense medicinal notes as petrol and high ABV. Some meaty notes could be fleeting... As the first wave calms, tropical fruits as kiwi, citrus like lime, lime peel and dried figs jump in the bandwagon. It is fresh with grass, mineral and a bit waxy. There are yeast and cookie dough notes. The palate becomes darker for a while with molasses, licorice, resin and menthol, a bit musty. 8,5:The finish is long, woody and dry, vegetal with herbal, floral and chamomile notes, fruity with lime and pineapple and for finish spicy, a bit mineral and there is also some liquorice.. Very good indeed...?! Strange past reviews....

Geruch ist noch in Ordnung, eine fruchtige Holzigkeit, die an den Sample X Clarendon denken lässt. Am Gaumen eine Schärfe, die an kalte Salzluft erinnert. Dahinter kommt nicht viel, außer etwas Frucht, Bitterkeit, Lösungsmittel und viel Alkohol. Noch flacher als der Kintra Monymusk „ALS“ 2004-2018 und der ist schon verdammt nichtssagend. Vermutlich sollte ich beide Flaschen mit dem Rest des Kintra mischen und einige Zeit in einem sherrygeimpften kleinen Faß nachlagern.

Dieser Rum ist für meinen Geschmack irgendwie strange. Ich mag grundsätzlich mal das Holz und die Mentholnoten. Diese Komponenten erinnern mich entfernt an die RA TDL. In Verbindung mit den fruchtigen Noten von Beeren, Mirabelle, Ringlo und vielleicht sogar etwas Litschi ergibt sich im Abgang kurioserweise der Eindruck von „Tabac Original“ oder irgend einem anderen Rasierwasser. Leider konmte ich beide noch nicht direkt miteinander vergleichen.

Naja man kann ihn schon trinken, aber hätte gedacht, dass er mir ein wenig besser schmeckt. Er ist schon gut, mehr aber auch nicht. Edit: Hab ihm nochmal eine Chance gegeben und mich an den Tipp von DomM gehalten. Einfach mal lange stehen lassen. Nach einer Stunde wird er schon besser. Ein bis zwei kleine Pünktchen kann man da nochmal dazugeben. Aber so wirklich überzeugt er mich immer noch nicht. Er wird wohl für mich als ein Mixer enden.

8.0/10

on the nose overripe tropical fruit, young wood, glue, varnish and caramel. On the palate, gasoline, nail polish remover, a fresh mint note and something that reminds me of lychee. Those expecting the balance and depth of the '95 EMBs will be disappointed. Here we have a really stark, challenging beast, but on balance I kind of like it 😉.

Tolles Minzaroma, begleitet von etwas Holz und Frucht. Im Geschmack sehr alkoholisch, die Minze, Kräuter und Holz kommen noch etwas durch, nicht benennbare fruchtige Noten haben Schwierigkeiten am Alkohol vorbeizukommen. Der hätte fast gut sein können, ist aber nicht wirklich gut ausbalanciert. Der Alkohol ist sowohl in der Nase als auch im Mund einfach zu präsent… Die Minznoten gefallen mir aber!

5.5/10

Nase: trotz sehr hohen Alkoholgehaltes kein Brennen. Milde Fruchtester, die bei anderen Jamaikanern schonmal stechend sind. Darunter das grasig-pflanzliche, Orangen/Kumquat-Aroma der Eggert-RA Serie. Keine Fehlnoten in meinem Sample. Geschmack: unverdünnt sticht der Alkohol vor, muffige Noten, nicht die erwartete Zitrusfrische, recht dünnes Mundgefühl, schwache Kräuter, Hauch von Lack. Abgang: Schaler Geschmack, blasse Eindrücke, kurz. Eventuell kürzer im Fass / anderes Finish wären gut gewesen. Wenn ich andere Rums in Fassstärke sehe, die deutlich komplexere Noten für weniger Geld liefern, bleibt es hier beim Mittelmaß.
