Introducing the Flensburg Rum Company 1995 Clarendon Jamaica, a remarkable bottling that boasts an impressive 27 years of aging, with 23 of those years spent maturing in tropical conditions. This exquisite rum, part of the renowned EMB series, is a limited release with only 146 bottles available, making it a true collector's item. Bottled at a robust 65.6% ABV, this 500ml treasure encapsulates the essence of the Clarendon distillery's craftsmanship and the rich, complex flavors synonymous with Jamaican rums.
On the nose, the aroma is powerful yet harmonious, with an intriguing bouquet of spicy and fruity notes. A delightful cloud of dried blood orange, sweet lemon, and a medley of sour cherry, black currant, gooseberry, and mealy banana flow from the glass, all framed by aged cedarwood with a hint of wood acidity, and a touch of vinegar, rounded off with cream toffee, maple syrup, and a subtle hint of licorice.
The palate is equally impressive, offering a balanced interplay of intense flavors. The initial taste is slightly astringent and bitter, evolving into metallic and salty notes before yielding to the intense fruitiness of lemon zest, lime, kumquat, and apricot. The taste journey is enhanced by a pleasant, woody presence and a growing minty freshness. The high alcohol content is beautifully integrated, adding to the overall depth and complexity of the rum.
The finish is long and dry, with a minty aftertaste and hints of pineapple, black tea, and wood, providing a satisfying conclusion to the tasting experience. Overall, this rum is a sophisticated and multifaceted expression, blending tropical fruit notes with sweet, spicy, and earthy elements, culminating in a rich, lingering finish.
