Very intense but also unusual Clarendon! Lots of camphor, menthol, leather polish, plus overripe, slightly bitter citrus fruits and surprisingly meaty, umami notes. Almost has a slight TECA vibe, as if an old Clarendon was finished in a Long Pond TECA cask. Basically delicious and well made but a little too extreme for me personally! 😅

Auto-translatedAdventní kalendář plantation/planteray Zdeňka Polácha 2025 Druhá adventní neděle si zaslouží výjimečný rum a tím je bezesporu Planteray Jamaica MMW 1998 Prestige Cellar Cask pro Warehouse 1. Úžasný melasový kotlíkový rum z palírny Clarendon, který zrál 21 let v tropech po bourbonu, následně byl převezen do Francie, kde odpočíval dalších 5 let v sudech po koňaku Ferrand v Javrezacu a další rok do lahvování odpočíval v Prestige Cellar přímo na Chateau de Bonbonet. Stejně jako včera jde o opravdový rumový klenot; starý poctivý destilát s perfektně integrovaným alkoholem, který nádherně voní po dřevě, koření a kůži (zřejmě toto zmátlo většinu tipujících a navedlo je na jinou destinaci). Také chuť je krásně vybalancovaná, je tam znát typický technický kanagon, dřevo, skořice, ale zároveň tam se stejnou intenzitou najdete i ovocné tóny. Včerejší a dnešní rum ukazuje, proč jsme si vloni v lednu neuměli vybrat, který z těch rumů je lepší. Když jsme u těch sudů s Jan Albrecht CigaRum stáli a napřeskáčku chutnali z jednoho i druhého, připadali jsme si jako v pohádce. Když nám pak Aleksandra Lavrova potvrdila, že pro naše fanoušky uvolní všechny tři sudy a Jiri Rabel na to dal palec, byl to happy end se vším všudy a ještě jednou za něj díky. Pro mě všechny tři tyto lahve patří do TOP10 rumů v poměru cena/příběh/kvalita, které se letos na rumovém trhu objevily. #plantadvent2025
