CDI Clarendon Jamaica 2013
Sipped neat, this drinks fruity and technical: ripe grape, melon and papaya up front, then a big wave of mint and menthol, spice and light cedar wood. Several tasters get a baked-apple, pastry side that's unusual for a Jamaican. At 59.4% the alcohol sits surprisingly well integrated. A rounded Clarendon that mostly skips the flambéed-banana marker some Jamaica lovers avoid.

- Tropical fruit and spice

How does CDI Clarendon Jamaica 2013 taste?
Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Fruity, minty cask-strength Clarendon Jamaican Well-liked as a rounded, technical Clarendon — fruit, spice and heavy menthol. A few find the mint and pepper a touch dominant; one taster prefers it in a mix.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
25.09.2021 A friendly tasting with friends and colleagues. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, pineapple, fruity, light olive, spice, light vegetal. Palate Lightly oily, balanced, light wood, fruity, pineapple, faint floral, spice, faint chocolate, berries. Finish Medium long, medium dry, light wood, faint smoke, berries, light chocolate.
Review by cigares
A surprising nose of varnish and banana with a hint of menthol. The menthol is repeated on the palate with vanilla and spices. Like baked apples. Medium length, with spices and more menthol and a taste of mouthwash. Nice overall balance, quite opposite flavors but nevertheless coherent. I like it. Tasted again and I confirm, a very fine rum.
Review by Morgan Garet
Nez qui démarre au top avec la banane et la vanille et surtout un côté pâtissier que je retrouvre rarement avec les jamaicains. Ensuite le vernis vient relever l'ensemble. En bouche, rien à voir avec le nez car j'attaque sur un léger côté fumé et poivré/pimenté. Ensuite cela change et revient sur les fruits tropicaux, la vanille, le vernis mais surtout le menthol domine secondé par le piment (trop). Finale assez longue sur le menthol, et la banane.
Review by Jacques etdom
Très fruité, fruits bien murs, une pointe mentholée, un côté pâtissier. De l ananas en finale. J aime beaucoup ce côté de ma jamaique (sans ce marqueur banane flambée que je n apprecie pas). La profondeur s amplifié après 2 - 3 mois d aeration de la bouteille. Vraiment un super rapport qualité prix.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
In the nose first surprisingly fruity and filigree of grape, honeydew melon, mirabelle and papaya, then comes baking spice and mint with menthol, as well as some cedar wood.
Review by Thunderbird
The nose is pleasantly soft, sweet and fruity, the palate with light wood, fruit and vanilla... all very restrained, alcohol very well integrated to the finish comes surprisingly a grassy herbal note! A well made intereRum
