Precious Liquors Clarendon Jamaican Rum

"Very nice 2004 Clarendon. Tropical aging adds depth and tropical fruits. The slight reduction in ABV is to point, not making the rum feel diluted but puts it at an excellent drinking strength. Very nice cask of the vintage."

"Spontaneous tasting with FischeJ on the roof terrace of our hotel. First of all, thanks for all the drams and the nice conversation. About the rum itself, probably the best of the evening for me. I found it quite drinkable and for such a "young" Clarendon it's quite good. The price is reasonable"

"Solider, typischer Clarendon, harzig-zitronig, mit mega Abgang. An die mittlerweile legendären Clarendons aus der Zeit vor der Jahrtausendwende (1995, 1997) reicht er natürlich trotzdem nicht heran."

"This rum is also very good. It has a lovely nose of tropical fruits such as mango and passion fruit. A completely different picture on the palate. Menthol predominates here, and it is also very spicy, with green pepper and allspice standing out."

"Rather wild and young Clarwndon, typical banana and tropical fruit taste that ends jn a medium/short finish. A bit one dimensional and not very complex, but still very tasty. Can be a good entry to Jamaica rums"

"The nose is initially dominated by glue, tropical fruit and spices. Also something metallic and slightly charred aromas. Then a peppery attack on the palate, with tropical fruits, spices and wood. All in all, I like it very much."

"Good Clarendon, which clearly shows the tropical maturation - for me, tropical maturation is essential for Clarendons. Lots of fruit, great spiciness, oak, something waxy. Neat."

"A Jamaican on the rather spicy-tart side. Fruit is present, but is already accompanied on the nose by many other aromas, ranging from pepper to roasted notes to somewhat irritating waxy-soapy associations. Definitely complex in taste, just not completely on my preferred line."

"Very good, balanced, powerful Clarendon!"

"Again, a little different than what I would expect from Jamaica at first. The funky estery fruit is there in the aroma, and in the taste too, but it's complemented by intensely more technical notes, where at times I thought about soap."

"Curieux ce rhum. La trame de fond est sur le bois avec des épices (notamment le poivre vert en début de bouche), mais en milieu de bouche, on a une poussée fruité portée par du menthol. C'est assez court et ça retombe sur les noix et le boisé chocolaté pour la finale. Le nez est aussi agréable. Très frais. Avec ce citron vert qui semble le point d'orgue de cette poussée fruité."

"Sehr floral blumig aber auch sehr fruchtig an der Nase. Am Gaumen dann wirklich extrem frisch, mentholig wie bei einer Mundspülung, dazu diverse Gewürze wie grüner und schwarzer pfeffer, Piment und etwas Vanille, sowie Papaya, Limettenschale und ordentliche kampfer. Gut aber auch etwas extrem und trifft nicht wirklich meinen Geschmack."

"J’aime beaucoup. Belle complexité, explosion de saveur au nez et en bouche avec une belle longueur. Des fruits tropicaux, du boisé et des épices dominent, et des notes de cuir et de chêne se développent ensuite. Permis les meilleurs clarendon que j’ai pu déguster 🤩🤩"
