Fassbind AG Clarendon Secret Treasures Old Jamaica Rum 1991
Several tasters land on the same verdict: a "very drinkable Monymusk" with all the classic Jamaican fruit — pineapple, mango, banana, a little glue and ester — but bottled at 42% it reads thin. There's real cask influence and a dry, lightly woody palate, just muted next to cask-strength versions. One reviewer called it an easy sipper without rough edges.

The look inside the bottle
How does Fassbind AG Clarendon Secret Treasures Old Jamaica Rum 1991 taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Tropical, easy Jamaican let down by thin body Most find it rounded and tropical with proper Monymusk character, but the reduction to 42% leaves it thin and short. A pleasant sunny-day pour rather than a serious one.

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.
