Oh well, not from bad parents! An intense, sophisticated feast for the palate for experienced connoisseurs. Really demanding, nothing to be enjoyed on the side. If the alcohol had been integrated a little better, the rum would have broken the 90 rating barrier. Thanks to Skyfly for the sample!

Der erste Eindruck in Nase und Gaumen: krasse Minze - das muss ein TDL sein!? Dieser Clarendon steigert nochmal die Intensität von Minze in einem Rum, die ich bisher nur bei TDLs schmecken konnte. Perfekt ausbalanciert mit tropischen Früchten, Karamell und leichten Holznoten begeistert dieser Rum von Nase bis Abgang. Im Gaumen ist wahnsinnig intensiv - eine wahre Geschmacksexplosion; Im Nachgang ganz leicht bitter, was jedoch nicht negativ wirkt
Another very good 95 Clarendon...complex, intense and more on the spicy woody side. The nose is absolutely on the fruity side with lots of apricot and tropical fruit. Dark sweetness on the palate at first, followed by tart fruit. Intense spicy, woody aromas then assert themselves and finally become somewhat bitter. This also accompanies the medium-long finish
