Clarendon Monymusk Plantation MSR MSR 2007

8.5/10
Rated by crazyforgoodbooze, rbfsnow & 10 more

Baked honey banana dusted with cinnamon, marzipan, milk chocolate and a peppery, slightly spicy kick — that's the gist most tasters land on. It's a tropically-aged Clarendon/Monymusk column still at 55.1%, with surprisingly light wood for 17 years. Several call it a "marzipan bomb" with red fruit and licorice. One reviewer flat-out hated it as disjointed and synthetic, so it's not universal.

  • Marzipan and banana
  • Well-integrated alcohol
  • Spicy and concentrated

How does Clarendon Monymusk Plantation MSR MSR 2007 taste?

Aggregated from 12 community reviews.

Spicy, marzipan-heavy tropical Clarendon Most find it concentrated, spicy and great value — a marzipan-and-banana bomb with well-tucked alcohol. One sharp dissent called it disjointed with synthetic banana, so it's not loved by everyone.

Super abgefahrenes und höchst ungewöhnliches Ester Mark hier aus Clarendon/Monymusk. Intensive Nase nach gebackener Honig Banane mit Zimt bestäubt und etwas Gebäck, sowie kandiertem Ingwer, Tonkabohne und Bourbon Fass. Am Gaumen dann pfeffrig, würzig, leicht scharf wie bei frisch gemahlenem Zimt, dazu wieder etwas Banane und Gebäck, sowie Milchschokolade, Vanille, Tonkabohne und schwarzem Pfeffer. Leichte Fass Noten aber verhältnismäßig wenig für 17y aging. Insgesamt sehr konzentriert, würzig und intensiv und top eingebundener Alkohol. Eine sehr spannende Abfüllung bei der ich umso gespannter bin was hier noch ältere Abfüllungen bieten können werden.

A new tropical one column still Monymusk ! If you like the Velier MBS 2010 9y 62%, this 17y tropical 55% MSR is better in my opinion. More red fruits, dry, tannin, astringent, liquorice & marzipan 💣 bomb.

Sehr guter Light Column Still Rum, der durch die lange tropische Reifung enorm an Tiefe und Komplexität gewonnen hat. Tolle Balance zwischen Easy Sipper und anspruchsvollem Trinken.

7.7/10

This is only my second Monymusk label, though I may have tried a Clarendon as well. The initial smell is tangerine and caramel. Maybe some banana cream. Then when it comes into your mouth, it's more like hot pepper and flowers. Fun stuff, especially the wild difference between mouth and nose. Some cream. A decent dose of oak. Spicy leave like a Latina slap in the face. Tried at Pink Flamingo.
