    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers consistently highlight this Clarendon as intensely fruity with pronounced spice and a standout minty note that adds freshness to its classic Jamaican character. Many find it rewarding with a bit of patience—notes of mango, papaya, and grapefruit emerge as it opens up, while well-integrated alcohol and wood provide great balance. Best enjoyed slowly, often with a few drops of water to soften the heat and reveal its complex, evolving profile. This bottle is a top pick among long-aged Clarendons, known for its rare elegance and depth—making it a memorable sipper for special occasions.

    Excellent Monymusk from 1995! Great, balanced nose. Exciting mint note. For a top rating in the finish but then a tad too biting.

    Very intense, especially the spice breaks its way here and provides a powerful counterpoint to the fruit esters. Complex and quite demanding, thus very exciting. Fits seamlessly into the group of high-quality 1995 Clarendons/Monymusks.

    Very cool EMB! Pink grapefruit, papaya, grilled lime, spicy ginger and black tea with a little clove and lots of wood. Really tasty, alcohol perfectly integrated and a very long finish. For me, one of the best old Clarendons to date.

    16.05.2023 Normally I don't do tastings during the week because I have to go to work pretty early the next day. This blind tasting just stating "Colours of Rum" just tickled my brain to say "book and participate" and I didn't regret it. It wasn't only a great experience, but we had a blast of an evening with many new faces around the table. Wow, this one is the bomb and the price may be on the high note, but definitely matches what you get. A very intense profile with fruit and overall good balance. ABV well integrated and the palate is lightly dry and spicy. The finish is forever and also lightly dry. I really like the minty note in the profile.
