„Second tasting: great 95 EMB, unfortunately I lack a comparison. The alcohol on the palate is noticeable.I like these old complex and layered rums, rating unchanged. Completely different color than the 2 years younger Jamaica Edition No. 13 from 1997.Nose: fleshy, fruity, a little reminiscent of a heavy Long Pond, no alcoholic sharpness and tropical fruits (banana)Palate: oily and heavy, now the alcohol is very noticeable along with a lot of spice and even more wood.Finish: long, dry and spicy, slightly salty with licorice and also mint!Great, heavy rum with very interesting nose, the rest is very dominated by the wood, but I do not find it unpleasant.“

„Very tasty rum. Top from nose to finish. I like the lychee that comes through slowly on the palate. Very rich and great rum. wood is really still within the framework and alcohol very well integrated.In direct comparison with Rum Club and Tara clearly the most fruity“

„At the Community Tasting Nuremberg I was deeply introduced to the world of Clarendon and have learned to love it. Whereby for me the differences between 7 different bottlings were rather small. I liked all of them. Probably it was more because of the quantity why I could not really distinguish anything. Will all again in peace individually Nachverkosten.“

„Got this sample for free from RumX. It’s a pot still Clarendon EMB distilled in 1995 whereafter it’s aged in an American oak barrel for 26 years, of which 23 years is in the tropics, before being bottled in just 111 bottles at 63,6%. Overall a great rum but with a little bit too much alcoholic taste.“

„12. GRF, Colours of Rum Tasting. Schnell und kurz… Nase: schöner EMB, karamellig, fruchtig, orange, Maracuja, frisch, Gaumen: toll fruchtig, feine Minze, schon ein bisschen Schärfe, aber sehr ausgeglichen…“

„Relatively moderate Clarendon in cask strength. Found him pretty round. Intensive yes but there are certainly some others with more strength out back“

„I find the rum quite woody, already a bit too woody for my taste, and nicely spicy. Discreet fruity notes. The alcohol stings a bit. However, the rum ansich is pleasantly round.“

„Great Clarendon... Nice and fruity. Alcohol somewhat very present but just within reason .Light sweetness on the palate paired with lots of fruit and some floral notes.... Alcohol a bit pungent here too.... nevertheless very tasty.“

„Probiert auf dem 12. GRF, in der Masterclass bei Colours of Rum: Die Nase verrät es gleich, hier ist Clarendon in Glas. Tolle Mischung aus tropischen Früchten und dunklen, erdigen Noten, ein bisschen fleischig und sogar etwas Klebstoff. Am Gaumen dominieren die dunklen, bitteren Noten, hier auch vor allem Holz, etwas fleischiges (Umami?) und gebrannter oder gar verbrannter Zucker! Guter 95er Clarendon, aber mit sehr präsentem Alkohol. Nicht der beste Vertreter dieses Jahrgangs, aber trotzdem sehr gut!“
