Fassbind AG Clarendon Secret Treasures Old Jamaica Rum 1991
"Very drinkable Monymusk," as one member puts it — and that's the whole story here. Pineapple and mango lead, with a little glue and light ester hiding underneath, but the 42% leaves everything thin and dry on the palate. Several tasters like it on a sunny day and would restock it, while others just call it watery. A gentle, easygoing Jamaican rather than a loud one.
The community says- Tropical fruit nose
- Easy sipping
- But: Thin at 42%

Review by DomM
Nice Monymusk expression. High quality. Tasty despite the reduction. Obviously overall intensity is muted compared to cask strength bottlings.
Review by Banana Joe
Meine Erwartungen an den Rum waren jetzt nicht allzu hoch, und genau das bekommt man auch. Ein easy sipping Rum ohne Ecken und Kanten. In der Nase leicht fruchtig, leichte Esternoten erkennbar. a Am Gaumen eher trocken. Bleibt nicht lange im Gedächtnis,allerdings auch nicht negativ. Abgang sehr kurz. Für den Preis gibt es sicherlich bessere Rums, aber für Jamaika Neulinge sicher ein guter Start.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Very drinkable Monymusk. All the typical flavours are there but the 42% makes it just a bit too thin. Although this is great on a sunny day. If you're lucky enough you'll find these for around 50eu which is well worth it.
Review by Jakob
Sehr runde, ausgewogene Eindrücke sn der Nase - tropische Früchte mit gutem Einfluss aus dem Fass. Am Gaumen unverändert rund, aber auch erkennbar verdünnt. Der Rum wird dadurch nicht flach, aber verliert dennoch etwas an Aussagekraft. Schöner Sipper, den man durchaus öfter aus dem Regal nehmen würde - wenn es ihn denn noch so einfach zu erstehen gäbe.
