"Tropical fruit meets tea, wood and a hint of menthol" is how one member sums it up, and that fits a clean, well-picked Clarendon. Solvent and pineapple on the nose, passion fruit and lime on the palate, drying into burnt wood on a long finish. At 67.3% the alcohol stays present but never turns nasty — a few give it a long rest in the glass first.
The community says- Bright tropical fruit
- Clean cask pick
- But: Very hot at 67%

Fruity, dry cask-strength Clarendon Jamaican A well-regarded single cask that most call a good, honest Clarendon — fruit, tea, a little solvent — though several wish it went further to really excite.

Classic tropical fruit solvent nose. Classic tropical fruit and oak on the palate, but overall less dark and more balanced than Sample X. Long burnt-wood finish. Alcohol fairly well integrated. Rather pleasant, but not my kind of rum...
Review by Barnagricole
Way too alcoholic on the palate, quite disappointed. Improves after a long aeration
Review by Jakob
Tropical fruits meet tea, wood and a touch of menthol. Nice selection, good Clarendon. The alcohol remains present, but does not drift into the unpleasant. Overall, the flavor spectrum remains within the expected range, overall would have to do a bit more flavorwise to advance to even higher dimensions.
Review by Filip Šikula
In my opinion, esprit is a very very underrated bottler. For me, the beautiful clarendon, fruit, tea and a little solvent in the aroma is written all over the taste. Quite a lot of alcohol, but it doesn't go to unpleasant. Very nice bottling.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2013. With 8.1 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.
