Review by Christoph
Fruity EMB nose that falls off quite slightly on the palate compared to older counterparts. In the finish, he has tasty neat power.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Now we're getting there. I could get the nose as soon as the glass was poured. Typical Jamaica fruity and esters right in your face. Love the spices and smoky wood binding everything together. Nice and warm finish though kind of short 😊

One of the best rums from SBS on the grf
Review by DomM
Quite complex and interesting given its relatively young age. Alcohol is extremly well integrated. This is just a very nice MM bottling. More of this stuff, please 🙂
Review by zabo
Mein jüngster Clarendon bisher im Glas. Aber ich muss sagen dass er sehr gut gefällt. Finde ihn ziemlich süffig. Die Aromen kommen hier sehr schön zum Vorschein. Insgesamt ist der Alkohol meines Erachtens auch gut eingebunden, was ihn zu einem netten Sipper macht.

Super bottle
Review by Benoit Mahe
The nose did not please me at all. The palate is nicer, Jamaican. The whole head a little too weak.
Review by Anonymous
Nice rum, in the nose esters some very light nail polish and tropical fruits. On the palate quite true to the nose some funk and leather on the palate followed by tropical fruits not really any nail polish. Medium finish i wish it was a bit longer and more complex but maybe that is due to the age.
Review by Johannes
EMB is easy to understand. It would now be exciting to compare this with a tropically matured one.
Review by Vincent D
