    How does this rum taste?

    The Rum Sponge Collection Antipodes is a distinctive Jamaican rum from Clarendon distillery, bottled by Decadent Drinks LTD. Distilled in 2007 from molasses and aged for 15 years, this rum presents a high ABV of 63%. Notable for its aromatics, users report dominant pineapple and green apple scents, with roasted and menthol undertones. Despite the enticing bouquet, the taste has garnered mixed reviews: some appreciate the Jamaican fruitiness and robust barrel notes, while others mention an overpowering chemical orange flavor and poorly integrated alcohol. This limited release is a unique collector's item with only 263 bottles available.

    Great clarendon. Jamaican fruit and funk with the vegetal and farmy frame of clarendon. A very very nice selection. We can regret the price which is rather high but well, the Brexit also passed by...

    Solid Clarendon with all ingredients of a great Jamaican. Punchy abv, that is well enough integrated to carry lots of fruits and estery notes. Not overly complex but solid rum.

    Impressive profile, reminiscent of the 1995 EMBs - but here in a slightly more youthful guise. Plenty of fresh fruit, menthol, herbal notes of tea, subtle sweetness. Very good.
