Adelphi Clarendon Selection 2003

Highly praised Clarendon funk: dry, spicy and fruity with well-aged wood and a long finish. Loved for its characterful nose and vacation-sipper vibes at serious cask strength.

    Nose delicious Jamaica. Nice and funky. Very spicy flavor and long lasting finish. Similar to the HV Monymusk EBM. For me HV Monymusk EBM > Monymusk Adelphi.

    #4287 07.10.2023 this was a 7 hour long event with 3 friends and it was a nice day. A totally different rum from the previous ones. Fresh with a heavier profile. Fruity with nice esters and roasted wood. The palate is medium dry, warm/spicy with fruit and some varnish. The finish is long and dry with a spicy touch.

    My vacation bottle. Was unfortunately all too quickly gone😋
