"As expected, it cannot keep up with the HV EMB 2010 (RX227) tasted at the same time and certainly not with the Clarendons of 1995 and 1997, which won awards almost across the board; nevertheless, it is a solid rum, which is pleasing not least because of its light peach notes."
"With enough time in the glass, the nose becomes less „bitey“ and the bottling develops the common continental fruit basket alongside Clarendon herbs and medicinal notes. Despite the reduction in this bottling, a harshness remains even after quite some time in the glas. The reduction works pretty good on the palate making this one easy drinkable. Fruits, spices and herbal bonbons. Not bad."

"Un Clarendon assez jeune. Le nez est vraiment agréable, en mêlant un coté fruité à un coté plus végétal, avec un soupçon de cuir. Cool. La bouche est moins agréable, assez épicée, le nez ne le laissait pas présager. Les fruits sont plus discrets, mais pas le coté herbe. Donc au final c'est assez médicamenteux. J'ai moins aimé cette bouche, dommage car le nez était vraiment cool."
