How does this rum taste?
Most love the fruity esters, good alcohol integration and tasty young Clarendon style. Critics miss the depth of older EMBs. Consensus: a very good, honest, high-proof everyday sipper for funk fans.
If you enjoy Hampden- or Worthy Park-style funk but want a slightly drier, younger Clarendon twist, this gives you fruity esters and good balance without additives or heavy sweetness.
Those sensitive to 58% ABV, expecting very long-aged complexity, or looking for soft, sweet beginner-friendly rums.

Très bon jeune Clarendon. Bien meilleur que son homologue MMW gouté juste avant. Un peu moins fruité mais plus équilibré et bien plus agréable.
8,5:On the nose, the first attack is gluey. When it calms down, all the esters come through, like a nice, warm summer sunshine with its freshness and warmth. We get exotic fruits with ripe banana, pineapple, mango, some citrus note, lemon peel, intertwined with toasted wood, honey, candied fruits.Herbal notes like sage, annis, are a nice, fresh companion. Aeration brings-when we think it is all finished, baking spices with baked apple, chocolate and some salty pastry. Coffee/caramel hints cannot hide from noticing. 8,9:On the palate it is round, syrupy with exotic/tropical fruits like roasted banana, pineapple, tangy fruits, plum jam. The wood is toasted, buttery, waxy, we find yeasty note, sweet spices, caramel note comes vaguely. Smokiness is light and nicely weaven in syrupy touch of this rum. 8,5:The finish is woody, a bit dry, astringent, with green apple, sultanas, some tropical fruits lingering from the palate, minimal spicy with smoky hints.
Velmi příjemně harmonický Clarendon. Krásně integrovaný alkohol, zádná pálivost, chtná mi.
Příjemný mladší Clarendon, který nabízí relativně standardní profil - výrazné tropické ovoce a estery a k tomu trochu štiplavosti a opečeného dřeva. Hezké pití, pokud seženete za rozumnou cenu, doporučuju k vyzkoušení.
