How does this rum taste?
- Very well balanced and lots of fruit
- Fruchtig, würzig, leichte Honigsüße
- Komplex und fruchtig
Clarendon's 21-year-old JMM, selected by Oldman Spirits, has sparked plenty of genuine RumX debate. Fans repeatedly pick out tropical fruits—especially mango and orange—layered with vanilla, wood, and spice: "Very well balanced and lots of fruit combined with a sweet touch," says Anders Bovien. Tasting notes commonly reference roasted oak, honey, and a faint solvent edge. Some find unexpected floral, umami, or "passionsfrucht trifft auf salmiakpastillen" (Nivius), while a few mention the alcohol or wood dominating on the palate.

To Clarendon
"Calendrier de l’Avent Rum Friendly Club, jour 11. Un nez boisé et fruité. Des fruits jaunes (poire) et des fruits secs, avec un bois marqué et lourd mais pas envahissant. On sent un reste de bourbon. La bouche est douce dans un premier temps, puis les arômes de fruits et de bois envahissent le palais. L’alcool est très bien intégré et beaucoup d’épices et de fruits secs complètent le tableau. La finale est équilibrée, savoureuse, plutôt longue avec le fût qui prend de l’importance et des fruits qui restent présents jusqu’à la fin. Très beau rhum, complexe et fruité."
"After all the good reviews, I had hoped for a positive surprise when I tasted it again. Unfortunately, this is not the case. For me, the alcohol is not well integrated and the aromas of light fruits are too subtle in this rum. I prefer the brief flare-up of pastry and spice flavors on the palate. The finish is rather sharp and short. The rum seems to have its connoisseurs, the long availability and the comparatively good price are clear to me."
"Im Blindtasting Richtung Fidschi eingeordnet."
"The nose surprises me at first both positive and negative. Positive is definitely the complexity of fruit, tropical fruit and citrus of all kinds. Also, glue, sulfur, acidity, pepper, nutmeg, anise and, not very surprisingly, a lot of oak. Negative is unfortunately the intensity, I would have expected more. On the palate, however, then very set, most of the flavors are also found in the mouth, but much more intense. Overall, a definitely underrated and incredibly tasty rum. This set and round fruitiness with the equally set spice is just wonderful"
