Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
A rum that only three aficionados have rated here so far and where opinions seem to differ. I'm pretty high up in my rating and therefore almost with Sebastian Kornett. The rum impresses with its full-bodied character and typical Clarendon notes and looks as if it has been aged for a very long time and is still from the 20th century. Winner of the evening. And the competition was strong (including Velier Royal Navy Rum and Perola REV 1994).

Unreif und ungezähmt. Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden. Nicht meins
Review by Dr.Django
I find the Blackadder bottlings particularly appealing because of their visual roughness. This Clarendon also has promising key data. This rum is very full-bodied, dry and astringent and impresses with a very strong menthol/mint note on the palate. If you like that, you will find an excellent rum to suit your profile. For me, there is a little too much of these aromas. The long finish, however, brings out a lot for me. In addition to the menthol and mint mentioned above, the wood and espresso come through clearly. Make sure you leave it to rest for at least half an hour!

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 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 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 Timo Groeger
Aquavitae Mülheim Oktober 2025. Hoffe er hat sich nicht mit dem T.D.L daneben vertan, weil dieser doch recht kräuterig und minzig rüberkommt. Ester ist zwar auch erkennbar, aber mehr kann ich erst nach dem tasten vom T.D.L sagen.

Varnish note, too burning, too strong

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 Sebastian Kornett
Reminds me of the EMB Plummer only not so sharp. Great Clarendon fruity woody some glue solvent and nice long finish. Was a blind purchase and I am very happy about the.
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.

Kurva cejtim v tom jar. Polisher taste in rum?
