Clarendon Monymusk Plantation MSR MSR 2007
Baked honeyed banana dusted with cinnamon, marzipan and a little candied ginger — that's the nose most tasters land on. On the palate it turns peppery and dry, spicy like fresh-ground cinnamon, with vanilla, milk chocolate and surprisingly light oak for 17 tropical years. The alcohol sits well integrated at 55%. A concentrated, spice-forward Clarendon that stays low on the usual Jamaican funk.
The community says- Marzipan bomb
- Well-integrated ABV
- But: Peppery heat

How does Clarendon Monymusk Plantation MSR MSR 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Dry, spicy 17y Clarendon, low on the funk Most tasters call it a marzipan-and-spice bomb with great depth for the age; one felt the wood and banana clashed. The value is a recurring cheer.

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.

I’m super pissed at all the people who rated this so high. It is a horribly disjointed rum, jarring wood, synthetic banana, and not at all pleasant. Thanks to disingenuous ratings for wasting my money. You all need to do much better.

#6408 28.02.2026 Tasting at the "Nordlichter Treffen 2026". This is a really good rum and when I heard the price tag I almost tipped over. Super value for money. To me this is a marzipan bomb, with lots of fruits and light well balanced wood and ABV. There is alwo a light polish and coconut touch to the profile.
Review by mto75
richtig leckeres Teil. Für den aufgerufenen Preis (nun leider ausverkauft) gibt es hier ziemlich viel Gegenwert fürs Geld.
Review by rbfsnow
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, licorice & marzipan 💣 bomb.
Review by Buddudharma
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.
Review by Schnubbii
Toller low ester Clarendon, in der Nase und am Gaumen sofort präsent. Volles Aroma, gleichzeitig super zugänglich, sowohl für Rum Einsteiger wie auch für Nerds ein toller Rum. Edit: Re-Tasting und geschmacklich ist er für mich doch eher eine 8.7, ich belasse es aber bei der 8.8. aufgrund des phänomenalen Preis/Genuss Verhältnis.
Review by Solidfunk
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.
Review by Righrum
Low esters momymusk are more foursquare-y than Jamaican. This is consistent, with a lot of Bourbon influence, but also ripe fruit and chocolate. Overall a pleasant dram, unexpectedly balanced and well concentrated
Review by FischeJ
Viel Banane in der Nase. Etwas Nagellackentferner. Honig und Holz. Im Mund sehr voll. Holz, Frucht (Banane, Guave). Hinten raus spürt man doch mehr Alkohol und mehr Holz. Und nen Chilicatch.
