Rhum Attitude Clarendon EMB 2012
People who like their Jamaican pot-still on the dark, roasted side will want this Clarendon. At 68% it stays surprisingly rounded: dark chocolate, coffee and overripe papaya, with a bitter-orange marmalade edge and a hint of Earl Grey. The heat is tucked in well — one taster half-joked it could pass as an easy sipper for hardliners. Some found a sister cask more compelling.
The community says- Well-integrated 68%
- Chocolate and coffee
- But: Sister cask preferred

How does Rhum Attitude Clarendon EMB 2012 taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Dark, chocolatey cask-strength Clarendon A rich, chocolate-and-coffee Clarendon with tropical fruit and remarkably well-integrated alcohol for 68%. A few felt an earlier sister cask had more of the EMB character.

Ein Clarendon mit 68%, den es exclusiv im.Shop von Rhum.Attitude gibt. Der Antritt am Gaumen ist schon smooth und cremig süß und überzeugt mot tropischen Früchten. Zum Abgang zunehmend nimmt die Würzigkeit zu. Die anfangs erwähnten 68% sind sehr gut eingebunden! Könnte für absolute Hardliner als easy sipper durchgehen =D

Gefällt mir nicht so gut wie das erste Fass, das auch bei Rhum Attitude im Laden stand. Hier ist zwar mehr Schokolade aber die EMB Vibes funktionieren für mich beim Vorgänger besser. Muss ich nicht unbedingt eine Flasche haben
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Überraschend runder und komplexer Clarendon in Anbetracht des Alters. Bergamot und Bitterorangen Marmelade trifft auf überreife Papaya, dunkle Schokolade und Earl Grey Tee. Das ganze sehr intensiv, leicht süßlich und der Alkohol überraschend gut eingebunden. Schönes Ding!
Review by Loïc V.
Got this bottle quite some time ago so open for 2-3 years and almost over Nose : light fruits (papaya, peach), esters, medicinal Taste : roasted, black tea, bergamot, peach, toffee Finale : medium, caramel, bergamot, black tea For 68%, alcohol is very well integrated but shines with a dash of water Nice

My first feeling was - pine needles. The the rum extend to smooth non-alcoholic taste.
