"Great anise and fennel associations! Very special, but really exciting. Nice balance of fruitiness and spicy flavors on the palate."

"Overall an interesting rum lacking expected funkiness and esters. The nose is fresh, round and fruity with aromas of anise, lemon and mango. At the palate it’s fruity, peppery and minty with flavors of orange and lemon."

"A rum tasted online with Angus MacRaild. The color is quite pale. The nose is marked by aniseed and even fennel - strange! But also phenol. The palate is also marked by anise/fennel, but fruit is immediately present. The finish is long and still marked by the decidedly herbaceous sides of this rather strange rum. The empty glass gives fruit and anise/fennel equal billing."

"In the approach, the brute aromatics, which the rum on the original strength probably had, is still recognizable - but the targeted reduction to a good 57% results in an exciting alternative to the already existing Clarendon 2007 releases. The aromatics definitely open up new facets and is far from the alcoholic force of the releases with a good ten percent more by volume on the road."
