Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon MDR

#5242 12.04.2025 Running some white samples at home while relaxing a bit. Nose Fresh, light ester, light wood, faint smoke, spice, pineapple, light citrus, faint honey, light nutts. Palate Fresh, medium intense, fruity, spice, light ginger, light pineapple, light citrus, light mint, light honey. Finish Medium to long, warm, fresh, fruits, light citrus, light nutts, light anise, light mint. Empty glass Mint, citrus, light mango, vanilla, light chocolate.

Alcohol anything but well integrated. Tastes somehow only after wood polish and nutmeg with apple cider vinegar.... For me, a bitter disappointment.

Very nice discovery. Nice Jamaican notes. Nose with complexity and funk. Sweet and round attack, Abv a bit low to my taste, but nice nonetheless. Quite a long finish

I do not know - one of the few rums in which I have so far misled - and where I can clearly understand what is meant by a description such as apple cider vinegar....Even to mix, I prefer when I need nen cheap Jamaican, the 10-money Meyersrum - the here is just hard alcoholic in drinks and brings all sorts of rough edges purely....Today I have a good palate for rum and he goes down amazingly well, on days where it is not so good, he triggers but also sometimes gag reflex .I almost feel a little bad because I'm here so about the rum herziehen, but I'm told the page here, serves to exchange his erhriche opinion and with a bottle of good Doppelkorn I would have had probably unfortunately more fun.dafür is the bottle quite nice.

Quite tasty, actually. No ordinary Jamaican, something does not quite fit here. But okay :)

Quite a nice Clarendon, which lacks a little of the percentages, otherwise a solid Jamaican. Ester and tropical fruit on the nose. Also esters and tropical fruits on the palate, also sticky and slightly watered down.

Works supprsingly well with the low ABV. Clearly noticeable (continental) Clarendon notes. Pleasant and enjoyable.

Based on the previous reviews, I would have expected something worse in the glass. But it's not that bad either. Thanks DomM for the sample. I think this rum needs a little more time in the glass, then it will be fine.

A young Clarendon with limited potential. The nose offers some tropical fruit, pear, a hint of esters, woody, spicy, vegetal and floral notes. A rather thin and soft profile, lacking character and depth. The palate follows the same pattern, adding a hint of young wood, nutmeg and sweetness. There's not much more to say, except that it's rather bland and the flavors seem a little unbalanced. The dilution also gives a slightly watery profile. The finish surprisingly persists tropical fruits, spices, young wood and esters. While it won't convince purists, it will be a good rum to introduce sensitive palates to the world of Jamaican rums.

Nose promising, thin on the palate with a short finish.

First Monymusk I’ve tried and it’s…fine. Distinctly Jamaican but way less flavor development than Hampden or even the better Appletons. Very light in color. Good and pleasant enough, but just a bit meh. I know Monymusk is generally the pot still arm of Clarendon but nowhere is pot still actually specified on this bottle so I’ll just assume it is, but based on flavor wouldn’t be too surprised if it wasn’t.

Greedy nose: well sweetened fruits/some wood/funk. It's really nice, this sweet Jamaican flavor. Integrated mouthfeel: apple-banana that shapes the profile. Then also vanilla and caramel. The finish is nice on roasted nuts. A rum that is both accessible and characteristic of Jamaica. Not easy to be put forward at the end of the lineup with this voltage but I liked it anyway. Again a huge thank you to Dimitri for coming to us with his nice pins. We spent again a nice evening of sharing! I will clearly remember this evening the beautiful selections made by Dram Mor who was completely unknown to me before this evening.

Un Jam très léger mais pas dénué de goût, je trouve la note moyenne très basse peut être à cause du prix, mais en tout cas j’ai aimé ! En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Poire, Fruits tropicaux, Végétal En bouche : Colle, Eau-de-vie de fruits, Fruits tropicaux, Muscade, Bois jeunes, Doux La finale plutot orientee vers : Eau-de-vie de fruits, Muscade, Épices, Doux, Phénol

Květinová vůně, ovoce, med, muškátový ořech. Na mě už dost vyvoněné

Un rum abbastanza leggero che si beve volentieri e facilmente. Ha una punta speziata piuttosto evidente, le note di esteri sono contenute, a discapito del lato fruttato.
