    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex, fruity aroma
    • Expressive Jamaican funk
    • Aromatic depth

    The Clarendon MMW 2004, a limited edition Jamaican rum, is noted for its blend of tropical fruit and estery aromas with distinct glue and solvent nuances. Bottled at cask strength with a 61% ABV, this 16-year-old molasses-based rum offers a complex nose with hints of pineapple, spices, and a touch of smoke. On the palate, it is fresh yet astringent, carrying woody and vanilla tones alongside a strong alcoholic presence. While celebrated for its aromatic richness and distinctive character, some find the alcohol integration a challenge. Rum enthusiasts highlight its vibrant nose and Jamaican funk profile but note the finish can be somewhat overshadowed by its fiery nature, making it a unique addition for seasoned collectors.

    "A rum which seemed to me not so good, according to RumX, except for its magnificent label, but immediately reveals a magnificent nose with glue and tropical fruits, we are well in Jamaica but without excess. An exceptional width of flavors. Almost every time the aromas appear.on the other hand the mouth is a bit disappointing with too much hot alcohol that masks part of the aromas.the finish is as if shortened by the alcohol, too bad.the empty glass reveals wonders.tasted again and even better!"

    "06.11.2021 Another visit to "Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival and once again with special access and many very drunk people both days. Notes. I'd say the price tag matches what you get. Fruity release with nice esters and a touch of glue. The palate is fresh and medium intense with fruits and a faint smoky note. The finish is long and medium dry with a nice touch of citrus."

    "A bewitching nose but the alcohol could be better integrated it's a shame. It would be even better noted if it was the case but this nose deserves to linger on it for a long time! A very good jamaicain with character. Thanks Hubert 👌"
