Clarendon RA Jamaica Rum EMB

The nose offers woody, glue-like aromatics with spicy, fruity hints. On the palate, expect dry, herbal-minty character; however, prominent alcohol and limited balance are widely noted. For fans of robust, challenging Clarendon rums—approach with patience for best results.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Bold tropical fruit and mint
    • Classic Clarendon funk
    • Nose praised by fans

    Tropical fruit and distinctive minty-herbal notes headline this bold Clarendon bottling, with woody undertones and classic Jamaican funk. While RumX reviewers enjoy its nose and true-to-type profile, many find it dry and dominated by sharp alcohol on the palate. Best suited to adventurous drinkers fascinated by intense, aged Jamaican rums—give it ample air and explore its wilder side.

    "Well… obviously I seem to like it a lot more than most people… 🤔😅 Here is my „trick“: pour a glas -> forget about it -> skype with a friend for c. 2h -> remember the Rum -> alcohol feels reasonably integrated 🤷🏻‍♂️😅 Intense woodnotes in combination with herbs somewhat remind me of (much older) KFMs - again I actually like this one."

    "Unfortunately, quite unbalanced. Fruit, wood, herbs - all very straightforward and with not particularly convincing alcohol integration. Overall, very dry and without greater sophistication."

    "8,6:On the nose, the first impression we get is vegetal with grass, leather notes and fruity with overripe tropical fruits like kiwi, banana. Then it becomes medicinal with some glue and roasted. Aeration brings out even more vegetal notes as herbs and mint, citrusy nuances with some lime peel, bergamot.It is fresher than before, as floral notes join, is fibrous, wood is a nice companion. We cannot avoid some metallic notes... Well balanced and round. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is a bit rough, but tasty, as chamomile, mint and herbs soften spiciness and some intense medicinal notes as petrol and high ABV. Some meaty notes could be fleeting... As the first wave calms, tropical fruits as kiwi, citrus like lime, lime peel and dried figs jump in the bandwagon. It is fresh with grass, mineral and a bit waxy. There are yeast and cookie dough notes. The palate becomes darker for a while with molasses, licorice, resin and menthol, a bit musty. 8,5:The finish is long, woody and dry, vegetal with herbal, floral and chamomile notes, fruity with lime and pineapple and for finish spicy, a bit mineral and there is also some liquorice.. Very good indeed...?! Strange past reviews...."

    "I think this one is out of balance in the flavours and the alcohol is not very well integrated."
