SBS Jamaica Clarendon EMB 2015 65.7°: Description and customer reviews

SBS Jamaica Clarendon EMB 2015 is a molasses rum produced in Jamaica by the Clarendon distillery, also known as Monymusk. The EMB mark signifies a relatively light rum, with an ester content of 240-250 grams per hectoliter of pure alcohol.

The rum was distilled in an iron still, then aged in an old bourbon barrel for 7 years. Only 213 bottles were released in May 2022 from a single barrel. This rum was bottled brut de fût (at its natural degree) and without cold filtration.

The "Single Barrel Selection" are very limited editions produced by independent bottlers 1423 World Class Spirits, based in Denmark.

Nico's tasting notes

On the nose, a very high concentration emerges for this rum, which is nevertheless quite young. The woody notes, first solvent and then wax, are vibrant and intense, radiating fruity waves that leave a golden dust of sweet spices in their wake.

Aeration establishes the stature of the rum, which impresses with its maturity and concentration. The woodiness is ample and generous, but just as round and gourmand. Its fibers fill up with vanilla, caramelized nuts and lightly salted, toasted coconut milk, making you want to bite into this beautiful nougatine.

On the palate, the fullness and warmth of this rum live up to the expectations set by the nose. The American oak contributes its aromas with clarity and efficiency, without being disrupted by alcohol. The tannins are just right, perfectly dosed, with just the right amount of vegetal freshness. Blond tobacco then takes over, naturally followed by vanilla that doesn't fall into the trap of caricature, then by almond and stone, and finally by slightly salty molasses.

The finish leaves a little more room for the distillate, and we discover a fermentation that has developed candied fruit, as well as a hint of olive in the length.

"A very fine expression of Clarendon, an intermediate mark that is ultimately very well balanced..."
