Clarendon Flensburg Rum Company Jamaica JMM 2007
Made for drinkers who chase sharp, angular Jamaicans over sweet ones. This 13-year Clarendon (Monymusk) pot still is hot and metallic, with grapefruit and lemon up front, dry wood and pepper behind, plus a "touch of varnish" and a surprise honey note on the finish. The ester funk is milder than a full-on Jamaican. Several found it too bitter and boozy; others liked the edge.
The community says- Citrus and honey
- Real character

Review by Lukas Jäger
Ein guter Monymusk, bei dem man nicht lange überlegen muss, ob er aus Jamaika kommt. Sehr scharf, so dass nur kleine Schlücke Spaß machen. Bietet eine schöne Umami-Note und erinnert gleichzeitig ein bisschen an das Plastik aus Fiji. Spannend, aber bisher überzeugen mich die anderen Destillerien aus Jamaika mehr.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Not too bad a rum and the Jamaican funk is there though not as powerful as a pure Jamaican. Warm to the palate and fruity with a touch of barrel. Lightly bitter but the fruits makes up for it.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Hui, was habe ich denn da im Glas? Damit habe ich nicht gerechnet. Der Jamaikaner kommt ein wenig zu gelten, jedoch holt das fruchtige vieles raus. Trifft nicht meinen Geschmack
Review by Johannes
Ich bin eigentlich nicht der Fan der jüngeren Monymusks. Aber der gefällt mir sehr gut! Schöne Komplexität, nicht zu bitter, eine elegante leichte Süße.
Review by Alexander Rasch
A really very direct edgy rum, which wants to be drunk very consciously. Am but actually P / L very satisfied. Nice and spicy with typical varnish and fermented flavors. A little more funk and fruit could help. Out the back a bit too medicinal and metallic. Not an easy rum... but I like it.
Review by Thunderbird
Das ist kein Ausnahme-MM, aber durchwegs als Aufwärmer geeignet. Gerade hier das Wechselspiel aus Zitrusfrüchten und den holzigen Gewürzen passt da prima zu. Der Alkohol ist nicht ganz so gut eingebunden und spürbar, was den Genuss etwas verleidet. Insgesamt ist er okay
Review by MarcT
Not a Favorite, requires a drop of water and time to breathe. Sharp, dry and woody. Quite light in color despite the wood.
Review by Frank
12. Tag im Weihnachtskalender. Blind! Zwar nicht typisch Jamaika, aber typisch junger und vor allem kontinental gereifter Monymusk mit hohem ABV! Nase: metallisch-frisch und etwas beißend aber auch würzig-fruchtig. Dabei mehr zitronig-bitter-herb, also Grapefruit und rote Johannisbeere. Honig, etwas Mandel und ganz leichte Ester. Muskat, ein Hauch Vanille, Pfeffer und hinten trockenes Holz. Gaumen: bitter! Limetten und Grapefruit. Fast scharf mit Pfeffer. Hinten raus sogar etwas Umami und seifig sowie harzig und erdig. Nicht mein Fall. Erinnert stark an die continental Scheer/Velier...
Review by F.L.O.
Neben der Fruchtigkeit liegt da ein Hauch von Spülwasser am Gaumen.
Review by Martin Spooner
Ansprechend im Geruch. Sehr kantig im Geschmack aber durchaus mein Fall. Definitiv mit Charakter. Allerdings auch im Nachgang etwas Lösungsmittel und doch gut alkoholisch. Vielleicht nicht Jedemanns Sache aber durchaus eine Erfahrung wert.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
In der Nase ein solider, typischer Clarendon. Auf der Zunge um Antritt ebenfalls, dann kippt das Ganze jedoch schnell in scharfes Eukalyptus, gefolgt von einer bitteren Fehlnote. Langer Abgang - leider. Alkohol ist schlecht integriert.
Review by Christian Weist
Beißt zu Beginn ganz schön in der Nase. Wird nach langem ruhen milder, Gerüche von Grapefruit und Lack treten hervor. Im Mund zunächst dreckig metallisch, auch hier wieder Lack aber auch Zitrusfrüchte. Im Abgang kommt dann eine herrliche Honignote zum Vorschein die ich vorher nicht erwartet habe.
