How does this rum taste?
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.

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.👍
