Rum & Co GmbH Clarendon Jamaica Monymusk EMB
Anyone who already knows Monymusk and wants a cask-strength taste of it will find plenty here — the trouble is getting past the heat. The nose leads with fruit, menthol and a whiff of glue; the palate turns earthy with roasted wood, olive, tobacco and a little chocolate. Give it real time in the glass, because at 64.2% the alcohol runs hot and can bulldoze the rest.
The community says- Good value
- Earthy tobacco palate
- But: Hot alcohol

The look inside the bottle
How does Rum & Co GmbH Clarendon Jamaica Monymusk EMB taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Earthy cask-strength Jamaican, needs air to tame the heat Well liked but with a clear catch: nearly everyone flags the raw alcohol integration. Good bang for the buck, and the earthy, tobacco-and-olive palate wins people over once it rests.

Jamaica ohne Hampden Tasting: super interessanter Rum, der leider in der Nase sehr alkoholisch rüberkommt (ohne Zeit zum Atmen). Darüber hinaus ab dem Gaumen sehr komplex mit Schwarztee, Tabak und Olive.

Nose does not develop as many (stone) fruit notes versus the other 2010 EMBs I had to compare. With time in the glas the nose becomes more round but a alcoholic harshness persists unfortunately. Also not much fruitiness going on on the palate. Wood, roasted and choclate notes with some cappuccino. It is rather nice, but lacks complexity. Alcohol again a bit to prominent for a better score.
Review by Serge
EMB mit tollem PLV … nicht der beste, den ich probiert habe aber für den Preis doch ziemlich gut. Leckere Nase mit viel Frucht und Süße sowie menthol. Gaumen recht ähnlich mit recht schwacher Alkohol-Integration.
Review by Thunderbird
Konnte mich die Nase anfangs noch überzeugen, fällt der MM am Gaumen ziemlich ab. Der Alkohol ist schlecht eingebunden, dominiert und überdeckt, die klassischen EMB-Aromen, die durchaus vorhanden sind. Schade. Der Abgang gefällt mir wiederum
Review by Jonas
Solider Rum. Alkohol könnte etwas besser integriert sein, aber PLV so oder so gut.
