CoR Clarendon Jamaica No. 13 1997
Highly praised as a smooth, orange‑forward Clarendon with mild esters, soft oak and easy sipping balance. A refined, fruit-driven profile rather than a heavy Jamaican funk bomb.
Curious explorers and Clarendon fans who enjoy lighter, orange-forward Jamaican rum with moderate esters and smooth, relaxed sipping strength.

Second tasting: better and not as light as I remembered. Since one must not be deceived by the pale color. 1First, the pale color amazes, for about 24 years in the barrel has not colored much.On the nose, however, there is no surprise: fine fruit esters stream towards me.On the palate much more intense, sweet, spicy, woody and dry.The finish is quite short and dry. After a break, the fruit esters flash again.These light Clarendons do not really fit into my Beuteschema 😉
I find the 97 Monymusk very good. This is already significantly diluted, but thereby a quasi easy sipper. I like it really well!
Sehr schöner Sipper, kann mir vorstellen, wie super die Abfüllung ohne die Verdünnung geworden wäre! Das hätte den Rum in wesentlich höhere Spären katapultiert.
Erstaunlich hell für sein Alter. Entsprechend dessen auch eher zurückhaltender Fasseinfluss, der erst im Abgang zum Vorschein kommt. Ansonsten schönes Profil im mittleren esterlevel und eher easy drinking.
