Review by Stijn Zino
Beautiful nose with roasted nuts and tropical fruits. In taste, your typical herbal Monymusk profile. I get that this is not for everyone, but I like it. I think I need a bottle of this. Unfortunately, the finish is rather short, but nevertheless a nice sipper.
Review by DomM
Starts off with intense notes of roasted nuts and beacon, which evolves into tropical fruits and MM herbal notes after some time. On the palate it is very elegant and way less punchy than expected. Feels almost „light“. Nevertheless very nice one combining roasted notes with a basked of tropical fruits and spices.
Review by Thunderbird
A very good classic MM. It reminds me strongly of the 2010 from HV!Too bad I was too late! Thanks to Artur for the sample15.04.23:Tasted today in direct comparison to the 2010 EMB (yes, is not quite fair, because different Marks)The EMB is clearly more present and complex, but the MMW is more harmonious and relaxed to drink. Overall, a great duo (thanks to Mike for the bottle).

#4696 07.04.2024 Relaxing with a few samples. Nose Intense, light wood, faint smoke, banana, overripe, light herbs, faint medicinal. Palate Intense, warm, fruity, light iodine, plum, wood, tannins, clove, light herbs, light coffee. Finish Very long and warm, light cherry, wood, tannins, light mint, cinnamon. This one was such a punch that I tried to add a bit of water after which it changed completely. Far more notes are released with a few drops of water.
Review by Serge
Very tasty tropical ripened MMW that is nice and refreshing. With unusual tropical fruits like guava, starfruit and kedongdong (Spondias dulcis) ... plus vanilla, spice, some bacon and some sherbet and crushed dextrose. Absolutely recommended at the release price.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Have the sample now for the third time in the glass, with the intention of writing a tasting note. Now it is empty, now it must be. In all three tastings I perceived him a little different. The first time very most fruity, then always a little more herbal. In this tasting, right after the Blackadder MMW it seems to me like a rounder version of that one. The fruits are more yellow and less tropical, dle menthol note is missing, this olive and herbal note is very similar.In the mouth the HV is much softer and balanced it, not necessarily deeper. Pleases me well, without completely knocking me off my feet.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A balanced Monymusk that is true to its traditions. You can feel the fruit notes, accompanied by floral, wood and spice notes, with the caramel and fermentation scents lingering. The attack on the palate is controlled, with floral and earthy (roots) notes intermingling with fruit, wood, spice and light ester notes. The whole is well structured and the alcohol well integrated. The finish is more tannic, phenolic and spicy but keeps the fruity frame. A very conventional rum without extravagance, but still solid and well made.
Review by Rodolphe
Very good representative of monymusk little aged but with a nice personality. It's Jamaican style, pleasant, but not so easy. I like it a lot, and the more it goes, the more I like clarendons/monymusk but I find that on this distillery, the tropical maturation has its importance.
Review by Giorgio Garotti
Although in my opinion monymusk gives its best with long aging I have to say that I really like this profile!Less of the roasted and barrel part and more of the ripe fruit and herbs!For me it is really promoted!
Review by Adrian Wahl
Very solid monymusk. Despite the young age nice aroma. Who likes the profile will have much pleasure here. I do not need a bottle of it, but nice to have tasted him.
Review by zabo
At the Community Tasting Nuremberg I was deeply introduced to the world of Clarendon and have learned to love it. Whereby for me the differences between 7 different bottlings were rather small. I liked all of them. Probably it was more because of the quantity why I could not really distinguish anything. Will all again in peace individually Nachverkosten.
Review by Tim
A well-balanced Jamaican that has definitely seen enough ageing to complement the ester bomb with further aromas. The caramel and chocolate notes, as well as direct aromas from storage such as wood and vanilla, are positive. It is also spicy, beautifully floral and has fruity mango associations.
Review by SaibotZtar
Delicious young MM .... Citrus , cherry , mango .... slight sweetness . Floral extracts nose gets much better again after 20min. Somewhat reminiscent of cherry floral scent.
Review by Timo Groeger
Also an excellent rum. Really a beautiful nose. Vanilla, wood, caramel. Very nice. Also quite spicy and woody. Then a slight caramel note on the palate too. Also spicy and woody. Very full-bodied. Delicious.
Review by Nils123
Überraschend angenehm zu trinken für diese Alkoholstärke. Erneute Verkostung nach ca. einem Jahr: Er hat sich sehr zum positiven verändert und ist fruchtiger geworden. Weniger Speck, Umami und Nuss, dafür mehr tropische Früchte. Eine schöne Überraschung!
