Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon Pure Single Jamaican Rum MBK 1998

Almond and marzipan lead, backed by orchard fruit (apple, pear), citrus, light anise and young oak. This is Clarendon's MBK mark — the lowest-ester end of the range — so it drinks light and fresh for 23 years, more delicate than a funk bomb. Several tasters found the nose fine but a touch quiet, while the palate opens spicy with cardamom, licorice and honeyed sweetness.

Aggregated from 22 community reviews.

Light, fruity low-ester Jamaican, easy sipper Well-liked as a fine, fruity low-ester Monymusk that sips easily. The common gripe: the nose stays light and it lacks the intensity of bolder Jamaicans.

Perfect for

People who like fruity, gentle Jamaicans without heavy funk

Leicht sehr fruchtige Nase mit süßen gelben Früchten aber auch Zitrusnoten. Der Rum wirkt noch immer frisch und jugendlich obwohl 23 Jahre alt! Am Gaumen zuerst spritzig und scharf, aber nach 1-2 Sekunden kommen die Würze und Aromen. Zum Nachklang hin trocken und würzig. Wenn man sich Zeit für ihn nimmt, bietet er einiges zu entdecken - kann von der Intensität her natürlich nicht mit anderen brachialen highester Jamaikanern mithalten, aber hier findet man einen sehr feinen und aromatischen Rum.

Es sind Fünf verschiedene Clarendon monymusk abgefüllt von Rest&Be thankful im überwiegend Low Ester Bereich im Vergleich. Danke an Thunderbird für das überlassen der Sample Reste aus diesem RumX Tasting. Der Sieger bei mir RX18817-->Mark MMW und mit Estern von 224,2 gr/hlpa der höchste Wert liegt bei mir in Front dahinter wird es etwas dann relativ eng. Dieser hier mit niedrigsten Estergehalt ist ein easy sipper bringt ordentlich Orange und ist vorwiegend trocken. Schöner Einstieg in dieses Tasting. Relativ leicht und Recht süffig.

RumX/Kirsch-Online-Tasting Rest&Be Thankful! 23 Jahre alt und mit knapp über 60 gr/hlpa Ester wirklich sehr low. Ein light pot. Nase: sehr leicht und fein aromatisch, fast etwas grasig-frisch, Zitrusfrüchte und Honigsüße vorne, dahinter unreife Stachelbeere und etwas holzig. Etwas unspektakulär aber nett. 7,8 Gaumen: deutlich intensiver als die Nase. Süß-würzig. Viel Anis, Süßholz und Lakritze. Hinter der Süße säuerlich-pfefferig in dann wieder lakritzig und angenehm salzig-speckig zu werden. Sehr interessant. 8,4

Tasted during the RumX masterclass. Huge thanks the guys from R&BT for presenting their range! Very nice exploration of some low(we) ester marks. While some of the noses were a little light, the long aged expressions are very interesting on the palate across the board. Very interesting! :) I‘m pleasantly surprise. Despite the low ester content and short fermentation, there are a lot of flavors present on the nose and palate. Interesting profile.

Mastertasting von Rest & Be Thankful über RumX Ein feiner Monymusk. Die Nase ist herrlich Fruchtig und lässt kaum andere Aromen durch. Am Gaumen ist er cremig weich mit Bienenwabensüsse und viel Frucht, im Laufe entwickeln sich Aromen von Kardamon und jungem Holz. Diese Aromen begleiten auch den Abgang, zusätzlich mit Lakritz und Piment. Ein sehr guter MM

Sehr weich in der Nase, frisch und fruchtig (grünes Kernobst), Zitrusnoten. Am Gaumen eine ordentliche Alkoholnote, die fast ein bisschen unangenehm brennt. Noten von Mandel, Zimt, Cardamom, Apfel und Aprikose. Guter Monymusk aber meines Erachtens nicht optimal ausgewogen.

In der Nase recht sauber und 'trocken teerig', Frucht in der zweiten Reihe. Öffnet sich mit etwas Luft, wird dabei aber auch überraschend fragil bis flach. Mandel, Vanille, junges Holz und etwas Zitrus kommen durch. Viel Wumms für die 55%, aber haarscharf an alkoholisch vorbei. Ein Hauch Obstler & Grappa, sehr fruchtig in seiner 'Rohheit'.

Teil des Rest & Be Thankful tastings (danke an RumX und F.L.O. fürs Teilen). Schöne und interessante Veranstaltung. Alle Kanditaten hatten eine sehr schöne Nase. Am besten haben mir das LSO und MPG Profil zugesagt. Insgesamt fehlte mir aber oft die tropische Reifung. Hier in der Nase über Gaumen bis zum Abgang mit einer schönen Mandelnote.
