Rum & Co GmbH Clarendon Jamaica Monymusk EMB
Made for Monymusk fans who know the EMB profile and don't mind fighting for it. At 64.2% the alcohol runs hot and sits front and center — several tasters wish it were better integrated. Give it time in the glass and the classic notes push through: tropical fruit, menthol, glue, then black tea, tobacco and olive on a long, warm finish. Rewarding once it settles, harsh if you rush it.</snapshot> <parameter name="review">Decent value and a real EMB core, but the recurring complaint is the same: the alcohol dominates and buries the fruit unless you let it rest. Good, not the best EMB out there.

Jamaica ohne Hampden Tasting: super interessanter Rum, der leider in der Nase sehr alkoholisch rüberkommt (ohne Zeit zum Atmen). Darüber hinaus ab dem Gaumen sehr komplex mit Schwarztee, Tabak und Olive.

Nose does not develop as many (stone) fruit notes versus the other 2010 EMBs I had to compare. With time in the glas the nose becomes more round but a alcoholic harshness persists unfortunately. Also not much fruitiness going on on the palate. Wood, roasted and choclate notes with some cappuccino. It is rather nice, but lacks complexity. Alcohol again a bit to prominent for a better score.
Review by Serge
EMB mit tollem PLV … nicht der beste, den ich probiert habe aber für den Preis doch ziemlich gut. Leckere Nase mit viel Frucht und Süße sowie menthol. Gaumen recht ähnlich mit recht schwacher Alkohol-Integration.
Review by Thunderbird
Konnte mich die Nase anfangs noch überzeugen, fällt der MM am Gaumen ziemlich ab. Der Alkohol ist schlecht eingebunden, dominiert und überdeckt, die klassischen EMB-Aromen, die durchaus vorhanden sind. Schade. Der Abgang gefällt mir wiederum
Review by Jonas
Solider Rum. Alkohol könnte etwas besser integriert sein, aber PLV so oder so gut.
