Clarendon Distillery

Weinbergpfirsich an der Nase und blumige Noten.

Initially I found it kind of flat but leaving it there for a half hour opened it up really nice, adding flowery notes, some menthol and violets to the molasses-vanilla base. For half the price I would take a bottle.

#4758 22.06.2024 Nice tasting afternoon and evening with Hannes at the shop in Odense. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, fruity, spices, floral, light vegetal, faint citrus.. Palate Warm, medium spicy, light wood, faint roasted, fruity, pineapple, light floral, faint caramel, light vegetal. Finish Medium to long, light wood, fruits, spice, faint chocolate, faint floral.

I like the nose very much. Fruity, medicinal and very herbal. Then powerful, furry in the mouth. That's where he swings the club. 3 bags of Earl Gray brewed for 20 minutes.🇯🇲 Warm finish, beautiful caramel notes remain. Very good monymusk. Thanks to Bonn!

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.

Kdyby byla chuť ještě výraznější, byla by to pecka

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.

Ordentlich Kräuter und zuviel Jod. Etwas mehr Frucht wäre hier schön gewesen. solide aber verzichtbar

A pronounced astringent bitterness on the finish. Alcohol could also be a little better integrated.

Die Nase ist ganz hervorragend, fruchtig blumig und süß…am Gaumen dann der Schreck, dieser passt so gar nicht, die Frucht verliert sich völlig, eine starke Bitternote prägt zunächst das Bild, wird von zu starkem Mokka, Röstnoten und Kräutern begleitet, der Alkohol zeigt sich zunehmend von der pfefferigen Seite, der Gaumen ist sehr unausgewogen und rau. Im Abgang dauert die Bitterkeit an und weicht später etwas Trockenobst und Kräutern… Diese Abfüllung ist nicht so ganz gelungen, schade…denn die Nase versprach da deutlich mehr

Compared with RX16283 2010 Clarendon. Well, what is this one. A little sweet, a little bitter. Alcohol not optimally integrated. No fish, no meat. I can't imagine being able to remember this rum again. Plus the current price situation. For 60€ I would have seen an entry-level single cask here. As it is, this is a failure without any notable flaws.
