    Clarendon 97, diese Kombi hat zuletzt immer mal wieder für Aufmerksamkeit gesorgt und den zwei Jahre älteren Brüdern durchaus Konkurrenz gemacht. Auch diese Abfüllung gefällt morneigentlich ganz gut und zeigt einen deutlichen EMB-Charakter. Vergleichsweise fruchtig und fast ein bisschen floral, kommen die nussigen und leicht röstigen Noten dieses Marks erst hinten raus zur Geltung. Insgesamt fehlt dieser Abfüllung aber leider auch etwas Kraft, sodass der eigentlich schöne Charakter nicht recht zur Geltung kommen will. Mit mehr Umdrehungen durchaus ein starkes Stück, so reicht es für mich allerdings nur für ein „gutes“ Mittelmaß.

    Das ist ein sehr eleganter Clarendon der gut zum Sippen am Abend passt. Keine intensiven Aromen, aber dennoch alle eines guten Clarendon vorhanden. Trotz des niedrigen ABV die komplette Aromenvielfalt vorhanden

    Without knowing it better this also be a plum based spirit. Maybe with a Jamaican cask finish :) It’s fruity (plums, pears and yellow fruits) with some spices and a bit of wood. Not overly complex but still quite drinkable.

    Für sein Alter sehr blasser Rum. Mein Eindruck an der Nase ist ebenfalls recht zurückhaltend. Von allem etwas aber in vergleichsweise geringer Intensität. Am Gaumen merke ich den geringen Alkoholgehalt. Sonnst ist nicht viel los, ein wenig gelbe Früchte und Fassnoten, leicht bitter. Kaum noch blumig. Der Nachklang ist nicht vielseitig und ich finde hauptsächlich eine leichte Bitterkeit, Fassnoten und Würze. Hmm, da hatte ich mehr erwartet. Trotzdem ein guter Rum.
