    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex aromatic profile
    • Nuanced spicy palate
    • Intriguing fruity undertones

    The "AHJ" from the Clarendon distillery, bottled by Rest & Be Thankful, is a 25-year-old Jamaican rum distilled from molasses in 1998 using a pot still. With an ABV of 59.4%, users highlight its complex aromatic profile featuring citrus, spice, and wood notes complemented by spicy, woody, and salty flavors on the palate. Despite its extensive aging, some find it surprisingly light in color and nose intensity, while others appreciate the subtly complex fruity and nutty undertones. The taste balances between spicy, salty, and lightly smoky, catering to those who enjoy a more intricate profile. This rum distinguishes itself with a nuanced blend of aromas but may not appeal to everyone due to its distinct median ester level.

    "Nachverkostumg der drei Clarendon Low Ester Abfüllungen aus dem Rest & Be Thankful Tasting. Auch ein AHJ … wie schon beim anderen AHJ ist es eine schöne Nase, zwickt aber etwas am Gaumen. Mir persönlich gefällt der MBK von den dreien am besten, insgesamt aber die höheren Marks (MPG, MMW) viel besser."

    "Mastertasting von Rest & Be Thankful über RumX Dieser MM hat an der Nasenwines Erachtens eine Fehlnote.., ich kann sie nicht genau beschreiben, aber sie stört mich sehr! Der Gaumen ist sehr würzig und holzig, Lakritz und Pfeffer sind ebenfalls wahrnehmbar. Der Abgang gleicht dem Gaumen. Dieser MM und ich passen nicht zusammen"

    "Der für das Alter erstaunlich helle Rum startet an der Nase sehr fruchtig, z.T vergoren und biete viele weitere Facetten in mittlerer und geringer Intensität! Am Gaumen dann für mich sehr enttäuschend: eine starke alkoholische - fast schon sprittige - Note begegnet mir hier zuerst. Dann treten Würze und Tannine zusammen mit Salzlake in den Vordergrund und leiten auch in den Nachklang über. Später nehme ich nochmal die (vergorenen) Früchte wahr. Guter Rum aber trifft meinen Geschmack nicht so recht, ist mir zu sehr auf der salzigen, trockenen und tanninhaltigen Seite."
