Review by Sebastian Kornett
Nose delicious Jamaica. Nice and funky. Very spicy flavor and long lasting finish. Similar to the HV Monymusk EBM. For me HV Monymusk EBM > Monymusk Adelphi.

#4287 07.10.2023 this was a 7 hour long event with 3 friends and it was a nice day. A totally different rum from the previous ones. Fresh with a heavier profile. Fruity with nice esters and roasted wood. The palate is medium dry, warm/spicy with fruit and some varnish. The finish is long and dry with a spicy touch.

My vacation bottle. Was unfortunately all too quickly gone😋
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Spicy, fruity ,acidic furry and intense. Has somehow something of kiwi with roasted peanut butter, plus lots of wood, spices like nutmeg and red pepper, slightly smoky and after fermented tropical fruit. Nice monymusk, especially the nose is really fun! Only overall a little too acidic and the alcohol could be a little better integrated.
Review by w00tAN
In der Nase schön würzig mit feinem Esternoten. Im Mund dann sehr würzig mit Tabak und Holznoten. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden im Abgang dann sogar schokoladig. Macht Spaß aber preislich natürlich ne Hausnummer.
Review by Righrum
A nice Clarendon, on the nose wood and the usual tropical fruits, reminds me the famed 1995/1997 vintages. On the palate a vague butyric acid note welcomes us, then wood and vanilla adds to tropical fruit notes
