    How does this rum taste?

    The "Clarendon Parish" rum is a standout Jamaican offering from the Clarendon distillery, bottled by The Wild Parrot. Distilled in 1995 from molasses and aged for 25 years, it embodies a robust 65.9% ABV. This rum is nuanced with aromas of spice, glue, tropical fruit, and eucalyptus. Its taste is rich, emphasizing barrel and tannins, with a peppery, intense finish. Users offer mixed reviews, citing complexity and menthol wood notes. However, some feel it lacks harmony, noting an overpowering alcohol presence. The "Clarendon Parish" caters to those appreciating bold, high-ABV profiles with a strong wood influence, though less fruity than expected from a 1995 Clarendon.

    Heute unter tropischen Bedingungen im Manati Haus Tiergarten Nürnberg verkostet. Keine Ahnung, aber fand diesen weder scharfkantig noch alkoholisch wie so oft beschrieben in den Bewertungen. Vermutlich liegt das an der Temperatur und an der Luftfeuchtigkeit. Für mich jedenfalls ein leckerer Tropfen als Fazit. Danke Leo für das Sample.

    While all of the 95 EMBs don’t really hide their high ABV on the nose to much, the PW fails to develop the complex bouquet other bottlings develop even after a long period in the glas. This feels stuck at „alcohol and wood“ missing out on the depth of other bottlings with herbs, fruits and some sweetness, unfortunately. On the palate again more would forwards with less complexity. A bit more bitey versus the completion but not too bad imo. Solid but cannot quite hold up vs. other bottlings. Rather in the lower third of the vintage.

    This is really something in the level of being intense. But alas, there is just so much not in its favour. It is a bit too raw, it doesnt seem to really hit a very decent spot with the power and falls really monotone at the end. shame!

    Quite a lot of fruit and coconut on the nose. On the palate, however, a bit too biting.
