This one will stay in my memory for really long. Awesome Clarendon in my personal top 3.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
16.05.2023 Normally I don't do tastings during the week because I have to go to work pretty early the next day. This blind tasting just stating "Colours of Rum" just tickled my brain to say "book and participate" and I didn't regret it. It wasn't only a great experience, but we had a blast of an evening with many new faces around the table. Wow, this one is the bomb and the price may be on the high note, but definitely matches what you get. A very intense profile with fruit and overall good balance. ABV well integrated and the palate is lightly dry and spicy. The finish is forever and also lightly dry. I really like the minty note in the profile.
Review by Rodolphe
Big Clarendon 95, just like the other great representatives of this year. A delicious blend of pastry (almond, cookie dough) and fruit (pineapple, candied citrus), all wrapped in a fine, noble woodiness, with a hint of menthol. Really top, top. The balance between all this is really good. A great rum that goes perfectly with a great game! So a big thank you Jost!
Review by RumTaTa
After about 20 min, the rum develops magnificently on the nose: ripe tropical fruits partly fermented vanilla and spice from the barrel. Not as overpowering as some other Jamaicans but intense and very balanced. On the palate, the alcohol surprised me first. The nose did not suggest that. With a few drops of water viiiuch better! The fruitiness can hold its own well next to spice and barrel which is not self-evident for rum aged for so long. The finish is a seamless continuation. Again, very balanced and the fruits also appear again. Unfortunately, the rum dies out quite quickly. Since only one thing helps: sipping again 😉This is an excellent rum that does not necessarily come up with brute intensity but brings complexity and elegance. In addition, it is surprisingly little bitter for its age. he delivers the highest pleasure with a few drops of water.

Less abv better or few drops of water
Review by Oliver
Excellent Monymusk from 1995! Great, balanced nose. Exciting mint note. For a top rating in the finish but then a tad too biting.
Review by Serge
Strong EMB with lots of tea, wood and mint/eucalyptus notes that play around the fruits and the glue. On the fruit side, lots of mango, lime, papaya and grapefruit. Compared to the other 1995 from Colours of Rum, this one is more on the tea, wood and menthol side, while the other one was more fruity (by 95 EMB standards 😂). A direct comparison is still pending.
Review by Lot-NAS
A really nice drop, rich in spices, wood and grapefruits, limes with a few peppermint leaves. Initially it felt like it misses something standing out a bit more to reach or even scratch the 9.0 mark. But after some time in the glass it keeps on growing more and more complex, adding mango and papaya, hints of tar, and the wood gets smoother. So give it some time and you will be rewarded. Many thanks to J., again :)
Review by Mentalo
Clarendon 1995 EMB im direkten Vergleich. The Colours of Rum ist auf Augenhöhe mit dem RA. Beides herausragende Abfüllungen, die aber auch etwas Zeit im Glas brauchen. Aber dann bekommt man, was man von dem EMB Jahrgang erwartet.
Review by Johannes
Once again a great EMB95 with the typical mint note! Slowly must be the comparison between the whole 95!
Review by Lawich Lowaine
A fruity and dark top rum 😍a great finish that makes you want to come back for more.
Review by SaibotZtar
WOW... one of the best Clarendon I know.insanely fruity with full body ... really good !!!
Review by Jakob
Very intense, especially the spice breaks its way here and provides a powerful counterpoint to the fruit esters. Complex and quite demanding, thus very exciting. Fits seamlessly into the group of high-quality 1995 Clarendons/Monymusks.
Review by Adrian Wahl
My third Clarendon 1995 EMB tonight. On par with the Fine Drams for me. Thank you Tobi that I was allowed to try the sample 🥰🇯🇲
