Highly praised for its intense Clarendon funk, complex tropical nose and spicy, herbal finish. A dry, woody, bitter profile that many enjoy, though some find it harsh and demanding.
Fans of dry, cask‑strength Jamaican rum who like moderate funk, herbal bitterness, strong oak and spice, and don’t mind a firm, slightly rough Clarendon edge in their sippers or tiki cocktails.

Wird im Abgang immer trockener und bitter ansonsten ein schöner Carendon.
Weird but tasty Clarendon. It has a weird peaty note. Cool stuff.
Typical Clarendon blend of moderate esters and a hoppy, bitter spiciness - this one is esp. very much on the menthol and herbal side in the mouth. In addition, strong roasted aromas that also float around happily in the bottle. I would classify the pith more with the EMB than MMW. If it Jamaica but no high-ester rum should be, this is currently the everyday bottle in the cupboard. Alcohol integration could be a little better, but is also still quite young. Beautiful rum!
A pleasant drinking Clarendon, the 63.2 I find quite well balanced. Nice yellow fruity nose that turns to spice on the palate, ending with a warm, not too short finish. No High Ester but just a real Jamaican, which does not overwhelm.👍
