“Complex, bold, with harsh alcoholic bite.”

The "Sample X The Clarendon Distillery" is a 14-year-old rum from Jamaica, distilled in 2006 and bottled by The Rum Mercenary & Kintra. Crafted at Clarendon Distillery with a pot still, this limited edition variant (only 283 bottles) is a testament to traditional Jamaican rum making. Bottled at a robust 63.2% ABV, it radiates an intriguing nose of glue, funky esters, and tropical fruits. On the palate, users report peppery and woody notes, finishing dry and nutty. The rum is praised for its complex profile but critiqued for its harsh alcohol integration and pronounced bitter and woody aftertaste. Despite mixed reviews, it showcases the classic Clarendon character enjoyed by enthusiasts of bold Jamaican rums.
