Clarendon Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 27 EMB 1995 26yr 67,1%

"Dies war mein Beitrag zur Verkostung und sobald wir die Flasche geöffnet hatten, begannen sich die Aromen auszubreiten: fruchtig mit geröstetem Holz und sehr guter ABV-Integration. Ich mag die blumige Note und die warme/würzige Note am Gaumen sehr."

"What a beautiful, complex and intense nose: fruity and spicy. Beautiful orange and tangerine notes with sweet cherry and tart kiwi and gooseberry underpinnings, respectively. At first there's a tart sweetness of maple syrup that goes sweeter and sweeter towards orange syrup. I still find vanilla and a slight hint of tobacco leaf. The high % is barely noticeable.Palate: just as intense and delicious as the nose, very full-bodied to boot. Fruity, spicy, slightly woody. I find just as dried orange as prune, dried currant and tropical fruit. There is also a slight mint note to be found. There is also some resinous tobacco. It also has a nice nuttiness, vlt Brazil nut. A really excellent old EMB, with the alcohol super well integrated."

"in the other glass the RA EMB 95, and I must say that both are already very similar. The RC seems perhaps a touch fresher / more floral (and something more in the direction of Marzipan pastry going), but that may simply be because the RA is already longer open (and more oxidized). Since there is the RA zT still to have at a significantly lower price, it is currently the better choice for me."

"Great old EMB! In direct comparison to the Velier 2010 noticeably better integrated alcohol, and, unsurprisingly, more wood. Compared to the Bottle Shop 1995 a little less menthol, but a little more oily and bulky, but overall on par. EMB remains simply one of my favorite profiles; to be able to drink rums of this type and this degree of maturity is without doubt a privilege."

"Without direct comparison certainly one of the best EMB 95 next to the Velier!"

"Mir persönlich zu Kräuterig, zu holzig und zu säuerlich. Da gibt's mMn deutlich bessere EMB's... Alkohol könnte auch deutlich besser integriert sein."

"A very good 95 EMB on par with the RA 95!Taste they differ only in nuances! This is perhaps a tick fruity!My EMB reference remains but the Velier 2010"
