Blackadder Clarendon Raw Cask Rum Jamaica Rum MMV 2007
People genuinely split on this Clarendon MMV. Some call it a green, "unreif und ungezähmt" beast fresh from the bottle — biting menthol, lacquered oak, unripe tropical fruit and nail-varnish with no sweetness to soften it. But most agree it opens up dramatically with air: glue, pineapple, ester and a big eucalyptus-mint cloud, long roasted-wood finish. A polarizing one, not for the impatient.
The community says- Big menthol-mint character
- Long roasted-wood finish
- Keep in mind: Aggressive nail-varnish

How does Blackadder Clarendon Raw Cask Rum Jamaica Rum MMV 2007 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Menthol-heavy, raw Clarendon that needs air Loved by some, "just flawed" to others. The consensus catch: intense menthol, varnish and a young, unpolished edge that needs weeks of air before it settles into something rewarding.

Most helpful positive review
A rum that only three aficionados have rated here so far and where opinions seem to be divided. I’m pretty high in my rating and thus almost with Sebastian Kornett. The rum convinces with fullness and the typical Clarendon notes and seems like a very long-aged representative still from the 20th century. Winner of the evening. And the competition was strong (including Velier Royal Navy Rum and Perola REV 1994).

Unripe and untamed. Alcohol not well integrated. Not my thing.
Review by Dr.Django
The Blackadder bottlings are, for me, attractively rough in appearance in a special way. This Clarendon also has promising specs. This rum is very full-bodied, dry and astringent and impresses primarily with a very strong menthol/mint note on the palate. If you like that, you'll find an excellent rum profile here. For me, it's a bit too much of these aromas. The long finish, however, brings out a lot for me. Besides the mentioned menthol and mint, wood and espresso come through clearly. Definitely let it rest at least half an hour!
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Phew. MMW is a difficult marrow. When you hit the right maturity, it's a fantastic fruit bomb - as in the first Plantation One Time Limited. This rum, unfortunately, lacks the necessary maturity. The nose is rather green, lots of vegetal notes and rather unripe tropical fruit. In the mouth, the rum is even more aggressive, the alcohol is not well integrated, the tropical fruits still unripe and the medicinal notes replace the herbal. In addition, the typical? Clarendon Maggi notes. Either my senses are still blocked today or the rum is really very immature.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, mild esters, glue, solvents, rubber, minty, flowery, grassy molasses, vegetal with coriander, cereal, roasted wood notes with nuts, tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, green, dried fruits, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, it becomes slightly pungent, olive, menthol are out, metallic patina, biscuits, pastry, chocolate and cookie dough, spicy with allspice. 8:On the palate, the attack is intense, dry, dirty with medicinal notes like rubber, esters, menthol, nail polish, varnish, minty, grassy, herbaceous molasses, roasted wood notes like pastry, leather, spicy with allspice and fruity with slightly sour tropical, green fruits. 8,2:The finish is more balanced, medium long, dry, medicinal with phenol, bicycle tube, nail polish, dirty, fruity with candied fruits, pineapple, citrus, the wood is roasted, smoky with cocoa, espresso, bacon, the molasses is minty, grassy. Edit:8.6.26

Tasting date 08.08.2026 at Mr. M Nørregaards residence, together with Mr. K Sørensen and Mr. P Chihan. RX11578 Clarendon 2007. Nose: Glue and varnish, light rubber, tropical green fruits and roasted wood, spiced. Light grassy. Mouth: Medically light dirty. Rubber, varnish light acetone. Roasted wood, minty molasses, spiced with light cocoa. Residual tast of roasted wood, light minty molasses. Heavy fruit notes. Wonderful punch from the relatively high ABV. The glass: Heavy oak and tobacco. Tasting “At Mr. M Nørregaards residence”
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
08.08.2026 Retasting and I still like it a lot. ------------ #4707 21.04.2024 Relaxing a little bit today. Nose Intense, light wood, ester, glue, fruity, pineapple, light mint, faint medicinal. Palate Intense, spicy, medium dry, fruity, citrus, pineapple, light medicinal, light mint, ester, faint glue, light herbs. Finish Long and warm, light roasted wood, varnish, fruits, light citrus, ester. The empty glass has light bacon and dried fruit. I rarely get the bacon note but here it's there and there is no doubt 😊
Review by Gil Firth
Feels very young. Nothing unique. A lot of herbal and esters notes. So wood. Some pineapple. Its fine. But much better options. טעימה שום דבר יחודי בעיניי. הרבה אלטרנטיבות שנותנות אותו דבר. צעיר. עשבוני. מתקתק. לקה. מאוד מתובל. פחות אהבתי. לא מספיק עניין.
Review by Boletus
Hätte ich von diesem Rum nur ein Sample aus einer frisch geöffneten Flasche gehabt, wäre mein Fazit wohl deutlich schlechter ausgefallen. Viel zu biestig, geprägt von bissiger, lackierter Eiche und unreifen grünen Früchten hat mir das erste Glas eher wenig Spaß gemacht. Mittlerweile hatte der Flascheninhalt ordentlich Luftkontakt und der Wandel zum Positiven ist wirklich beeindruckend. Es ist zwar immer noch ein kleiner Rabauke mit viel auf Hochglanz polierter und lackierter Eiche, die eine kräftige Eukalyptus-Menthol-Wolke ausdünstet, aber alles wirkt harmonischer und weniger aggressiv. Ein komplexer, aber kein einfach zu trinkender Tropfen, dem man genügend Standzeit zur Entfaltung geben sollte und der mir immer besser gefällt, je öfter ich ihn im Glas hatte.
Review by Timo Groeger
Aquavitae Mülheim October 2025. Hope he didn't mix it up with the T.D.L, because that one comes across quite herbal and minty. Ester is also recognizable, but I can say more only after tasting the T.D.L.
Review by Dw117
Now i understand Clarendon i have had a few bottles and in my opinion this bottle is just flawed. Menthol, varnish, numbing finish is really harsh and unpleasant. Very sad to own a full bottle. problems are vegetal, menthol, nailvarnish etc. with no balancing sweetness 3.9 review upon opening: fresh out of the bottle not delicious at all. AND i love ajamaica funk. Better to go for a Hampden or Worthy Park. Have decanted half bottle in hopes of the rum evolving and calming down. Tastes off / bad to me and everyone I have shared it with. Most people love my high ester hampden and worthy parks. But not this. It’s honestly just bad in my oppinion. Will stick to velier in future.
Review by Banana Joe
Jamaica? Wärw ich blind nie drauf gekommen, wäre sicher bei TDL gelandet. Kräutrig, mit intensiven Minz Menthol Aromen. Sehr spannend, gefällt mir richtig gut. Tolle Cremigkeit am Gaumen, macht Lust auf mehr. Muss mir dieses MMV Mark mal genauer anschauen 😉

Fair rating GRF14.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Damn, I taste dish soap in it. Polisher taste in rum?
Review by Sebastian Kornett
Reminds me of the EMB Plummer but not so sharp-edged. Great Clarendon fruity woody with some glue solvent and a nice long finish. Was a blind buy and I'm very happy about it.
Review by Minion
Very intense and pungent. The taste is in the background and does not stand out. More monotonous and numbing than exciting and refreshing.
Review by JonnyK
Varnish note, too burning, too strong
