    RumX members praise this Clarendon MLC for its ester‑driven tropical fruit and striking freshness. Expect mango, papaya and banana on a nose that leaps from the glass, leading to a powerful, well‑balanced palate with woody notes and a mint/eucalyptus lift. Several highlight the long, intense finish. Bottled at 61.3% after 18 years, this limited 396‑bottle release is a rising community favorite with 46 reviews and growing confidence.

    Wow, this is a really nice Clarendon.I got the nose as soon as I opened the sample bottle. Standing on the table resting the flavours just kept developing and they were easy to pick up from the couch.Well balanced, intense and oily on the palate, just love it.

    for comparison in the other glass the whiskey jury MM 95. The OB comes clearly more over the ester track and citrus. In the WJ, however, tropical fruits such as passion fruit and mango dominate. On the palate, I have a nice mango note in the OB, but it is countered by a rather gruff wood barrel mint bitterness. In contrast, the WJ comes across as much smoother. The final vote has just spoken a fruit fly, which has strayed into the WJ glass with the two rums available for selection 😅

    Interested rum. A young but promising bottler

    A typical Clarendon profile which is very well executed. Balance is very impressive on both nose and mouth. Kudos to Old Brothers 🤙
