Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon MDR 2012

Sipneat this drinks light and easy for a Jamaican — pear, tropical fruit, a little glue and young oak, with nutmeg and spice through the finish. Several tasters wished for more punch; the 46% leaves it feeling a touch watered-down. A few find funk and honey on the nose, then a rounder, simpler palate. Also fine in a mixer if you want a gentle Clarendon.

The community says
  • Tropical fruit nose
  • Easy Jamaican funk
  • Keep in mind: Feels watered-down

The look inside the bottle

How does Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon MDR 2012 taste?

From community reviews · summarized with AI

Light, fruity Jamaican that runs thin Most find it a pleasant, light Jamaican with real fruit and ester — but thin and low-powered for the style. A couple of tasters hit apple-vinegar and wood-polish notes they disliked.

Very nice discovery. Nice Jamaican notes. Nose with complexity and funk. Sweet and round attack, Abv a bit low to my taste, but nice nonetheless. Quite a long finish

Alcohol is anything but well integrated. Tastes somehow only like wood polish and nutmeg with apple cider vinegar... For me, a harsh disappointment.

Quite a nice Clarendon, which lacks a little of the percentages, otherwise a solid Jamaican. Ester and tropical fruit on the nose. Also esters and tropical fruits on the palate, also sticky and slightly watered down.

Quite tasty, actually. No ordinary Jamaican, something does not quite fit here. But okay :)

Based on the previous reviews, I would have expected something worse in the glass. But it's not that bad either. Thanks DomM for the sample. I think this rum needs a little more time in the glass, then it will be fine.

Works supprsingly well with the low ABV. Clearly noticeable (continental) Clarendon notes. Pleasant and enjoyable.

7.3/10

A young Clarendon with limited potential. The nose offers some tropical fruit, pear, a hint of esters, woody, spicy, vegetal and floral notes. A rather thin and soft profile, lacking character and depth. The palate follows the same pattern, adding a hint of young wood, nutmeg and sweetness. There's not much more to say, except that it's rather bland and the flavors seem a little unbalanced. The dilution also gives a slightly watery profile. The finish surprisingly persists tropical fruits, spices, young wood and esters. While it won't convince purists, it will be a good rum to introduce sensitive palates to the world of Jamaican rums.

Nose promising, on the palate thin and with a short finish.

First Monymusk I’ve tried and it’s…fine. Distinctly Jamaican but way less flavor development than Hampden or even the better Appletons. Very light in color. Good and pleasant enough, but just a bit meh. I know Monymusk is generally the pot still arm of Clarendon but nowhere is pot still actually specified on this bottle so I’ll just assume it is, but based on flavor wouldn’t be too surprised if it wasn’t.

Jamaica without Hampden tasting: Positive surprise with Rest & Be Thankful. Good value for money and certainly suitable for mixing. Lots of fruit, some wood and spice from nose to finish. Some fruit brandy character on the palate and finish.

7.9/10

Greedy nose: well sweetened fruits/some wood/funk. It's really nice, this sweet Jamaican flavor. Integrated mouthfeel: apple-banana that shapes the profile. Then also vanilla and caramel. The finish is nice on roasted nuts. A rum that is both accessible and characteristic of Jamaica. Not easy to be put forward at the end of the lineup with this voltage but I liked it anyway. Again a huge thank you to Dimitri for coming to us with his nice pins. We spent again a nice evening of sharing! I will clearly remember this evening the beautiful selections made by Dram Mor who was completely unknown to me before this evening.

A very light rum but not lacking in taste, I find the average rating very low maybe because of the price, but in any case I liked it! In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: pear, tropical fruits, vegetal. On the palate: glue, fruit brandy, tropical fruits, nutmeg, young wood, soft. The finish leans rather towards: fruit brandy, nutmeg, spices, soft, phenol.

Great aroma that's stronger than the taste. Just a smooth, light, not too demanding rum for in between.

A fairly light rum that is gladly and easily drunk. It has a rather evident spicy tip, the ester notes are contained, to the detriment of the fruity side.

A spicy attack right from the first encounter with my big nose, which doesn't back down, it surprises with exotic fruits mingling with grilled notes between butter and wood, followed by a simpler palate with medium roundness and light spices, the butter returns revealing fresh fruits, passion pineapple and lays a carpet of raisins, for an average finish, Balances Man!

I do not know - one of the few rums in which I have so far misled - and where I can clearly understand what is meant by a description such as apple cider vinegar....Even to mix, I prefer when I need nen cheap Jamaican, the 10-money Meyersrum - the here is just hard alcoholic in drinks and brings all sorts of rough edges purely....Today I have a good palate for rum and he goes down amazingly well, on days where it is not so good, he triggers but also sometimes gag reflex .I almost feel a little bad because I'm here so about the rum herziehen, but I'm told the page here, serves to exchange his erhriche opinion and with a bottle of good Doppelkorn I would have had probably unfortunately more fun.dafür is the bottle quite nice.
