Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon MMW 1998
Highly praised by enthusiasts for its dry, woody Jamaica profile with peaches, tropical fruit and pencil shavings. Complex, long‑lasting and characterful, especially after some resting time in the glass.
Fans of dry, complex Jamaican rums who enjoy high‑ABV sippers with pencil‑shaving minerality, roasted oak and subtle tropical fruit rather than sweetness.

8,4:On the nose, the mark of the barrel is strong, we have roasted wood notes with nuts, marzipan, malt notes, spices like pepper and medicinal touch with glue and esters.The fruits are tropical with mango and pineapple... On aeration, peaches and strong melon arise, with orange peel and lime, flowery tones, some pastry, dark chocolate and clove. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is actually tasty with roasted wood notes, especially roasted nuts, caramel, chocolate, spices like pepper, ginger and some salt, strong pencil shavings and fruits like melon, peaches, pineapple and very strong litchi with herbaceous molasses, later grassy.Mango and citrus pop out after resting the rum, coppery patina and pastry 8,3:The finish is long, dry and tannic, slightly smoky, with most of the palate notes lingering on...l
A good MM that actually goes in the direction of Versailles/PM. Rather astringent, but also light fruity notes there.
In meinen Augen gibt deutlich bessere Clarendon MMWs. Der Alkohol könnte hier besser integriert sein. Ganz dezente Fruchtnote. Leichte Cremigkeit am Gaumen. Etwas Kräuter und Holz. Hatte ich mir von erhofft.
Hätte ich blind vom Geschmack her fast schon in Richtung kontinental gereiften Uitvlugt gesteckt wegen der Bleistift Noten die mir leider so gar nicht zusagen... Man schmeckt (und sieht) hier generell sehr das der Hauptteil der Reifung Kontinental gewesen sein muss, was der Qualität leider auch einiges an Abzug beschert. Der Alkohol könnte besser integriert sein, sonderlich komplex und angenehm zu trinken empfinde ich ihn auch nicht... Trifft aber auch einfach gar nicht meinen Geschmack.
