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.

How does Clarendon Monymusk Plantation MSR MSR 2007 taste?
Summarized by AI 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 crazy and highly unusual Ester Mark here from Clarendon/Monymusk. Intense nose of baked honey banana dusted with cinnamon and some pastry, as well as candied ginger, tonka bean and bourbon cask. On the palate then peppery, spicy, slightly sharp like freshly ground cinnamon, again some banana and pastry, as well as milk chocolate, vanilla, tonka bean and black pepper. Light cask notes but relatively little for 17y aging. Overall very concentrated, spicy and intense and top integrated alcohol. A very exciting bottling where I am all the more curious what older bottlings here can offer.

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
Really tasty piece. For the price asked (now unfortunately sold out) you get quite a lot of value for the money here.

Nordlichter Treffen 21.08.2026: Toller low ester Rum der mit seinen Holz und süßen Fruchtnoten vom Profil an Guyana erinnert. Ich kann die Begeisterung von Moritz und Co. verstehen, gerade wenn jetzt die Herbstzeit beginnt… Kommt in der Jahreszeit super.
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, liquorice & marzipan 💣 bomb.
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 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 Buddudharma
Very good light column still rum, which has gained enormous depth and complexity through long tropical aging. Great balance between easy sipper and demanding drink.
Review by Schnubbii
Great low ester Clarendon, immediately present on nose and palate. Full aroma, at the same time super accessible, a great rum both for beginners and for nerds. Edit: Re-tasting and taste-wise for me it's more like an 8.7, but I stick to 8.8 because of the phenomenal price/enjoyment ratio.
Review by FischeJ
Lots of banana on the nose. A bit of nail polish remover. Honey and wood. Very full in the mouth. Wood, fruit (banana, guava). Towards the end you feel more alcohol and more wood. And a chili kick.
