Un Clarendon funky et bien costaud. Le mark MLC s’exprime dès les premiers instants du nez avec la colle, le vernis de bois et les esters, mais aussi avec de beaux fruits exotiques sur l’ananas, la banane et la mangue. On retrouve la pâte de chez Clarendon avec ce côté frais et herbacé, un boisé intense et légèrement toasté et des épices plutôt vives. Le profil est varié et équilibré. L’attaque en bouche est plutôt pêchue pour le degré d’alcool. Le côté astringent et médicinal prend le dessus, puis le boisé rôti et épicé vient avec une subtile note de chocolat noir avant de laisser filer des notes herbacées. On ressent également les effluves de fruits secs et tropicaux qui apportent de la gourmandise. Un profil relativement puissant pour son degré d’alcool, pas désagréable mais plutôt intense. La finale est longue, marquée par les tonalités fruitées (banane, ananas), herbacées et florales. Du tabac, des esters, des notes épicées et de bois rôti viennent corser la finale déjà bien astringente et sèche. Un profil complexe à mi-chemin entre le funk et le vieux rhum d’expérience, pas le plus évident à boire mais il offre une belle expérience globale. Le prix est quelque peu discutable, mais il est peu probable que l’on descende en-dessous pour un rhum de ce compte d’âge, ce millésime et ce mark.
This MLC is a solid stunner for me. The explosion of fresh tropical fruits, red berries, and a hint of melon on the nose just pulls you in. The palate is beautifully balanced with juicy notes of mango, dates, and figs, all draped in a touch of honey. My only gripe? Why isn’t this at cask strength! With a bit more ABV, this could’ve hit legendary status. Still, what a beauty, a true fruit bomb that leaves you wanting more. Honestly, it’s the kind of rum I’d love to have a full bottle of at home.
Solid 2001 Clarendon without any major rough edges. Delicious.
