Clarendon The Nectar Of The Daily Drams Jamaica EMB 2015

Sip it neat and you get a moderate Jamaican, not an ester bomb — this is the earthy EMB side of Clarendon rather than the loud one. The nose runs fruity with banana, vanilla and a touch of glue; the palate turns woody and spicy with mint, bitter orange and a little leather creeping in as it opens. At 57% the alcohol shows but stays in line. An honest pot-still pour with a fair price-to-quality balance.

How does Clarendon The Nectar Of The Daily Drams Jamaica EMB 2015 taste?

Summarized by AI from 16 community reviews.

Earthy EMB Clarendon, more wood than funk The handful of reviews agree: a reliable, well-made Clarendon with real barrel presence and modest ester. A couple of tasters note it doesn't push past solid into memorable.

Jamaican pot-still fans wanting the earthy EMB side

Solid rum with a good load of barrel and less high-ester. Initially caramel/honey on the nose, fades over time and lets spices/wood/leather come through. Fruit always present. On the palate and finish, likewise a balanced mix, with some citrus and mint dominating. A thick sweetness joins in.

Solid Clarendon in the EMB style with a decent price-performance ratio. On the nose, fermented fruit, vanilla, and a bit of glue. On the palate, spicy with banana, wood, and a light citrus note; the alcohol is noticeable but not disturbing. Of course, no comparison to the old vintage years, but still an honest, pleasant-to-drink Clarendon with a good foundation.

8.1/10

On the nose: Fruity at first, but once the rum opens up you get woody notes, leather notes,earthy notes, dry spice notes like cinnamon and toasted notes Taste: Minty notes, light bitter orange notes, woody notes and spicy notes and mouthfeel is slightly bitter at first. Then you get leather notes, earthy notes, some vanilla notes and hints of cocoa or chocolate notes with mildly dirty mouthfeel. Finish: Earthy, minty and some light menthol notes in the background at first. Then you get barrel notes, light citrus notes and roasted notes. Dry finish. Typical EMB profile with those earthy notes that appear once the rum opens up. Lacks of complexity and the overall flavour profile doesn't really stand out as anything interesting in order to receive higher score.
