CoR Clarendon Jamaica No. 10 1995
One taster nailed it: "extremely alcoholic Clarendon with lots of spices and wood." That's the shape of this 1995 EMB — fermented fruit, banana and a whiff of glue on the nose, then oily and dry on the palate with heavy oak, spice, licorice and a minty finish. Old, complex and deeply loved, but the 63.6% pushes hard and can flatten the subtler notes.
The community says- Complex old Clarendon
- Ripe banana fruit
- But: Very present alcohol

How does CoR Clarendon Jamaica No. 10 1995 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Old, fruity Clarendon with hot, woody bite People rate this old Clarendon highly for its fruit-and-wood complexity and long finish. Near-universal catch: the alcohol is very present and needs rest or the subtler notes vanish.

Review by Stefan Persson
Got this sample for free from RumX. It’s a pot still Clarendon EMB distilled in 1995 whereafter it’s aged in an American oak barrel for 26 years, of which 23 years is in the tropics, before being bottled in just 111 bottles at 63,6%. Overall a great rum but with a little bit too much alcoholic taste.
Review by Oliver
Mint and black tea. Very good Clarendon!
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: great 95 EMB, unfortunately I lack a comparison. The alcohol on the palate is noticeable.I like these old complex and layered rums, rating unchanged. Completely different color than the 2 years younger Jamaica Edition No. 13 from 1997.Nose: fleshy, fruity, a little reminiscent of a heavy Long Pond, no alcoholic sharpness and tropical fruits (banana)Palate: oily and heavy, now the alcohol is very noticeable along with a lot of spice and even more wood.Finish: long, dry and spicy, slightly salty with licorice and also mint!Great, heavy rum with very interesting nose, the rest is very dominated by the wood, but I do not find it unpleasant.
Review by SaibotZtar
Great Clarendon... Nice and fruity. Alcohol somewhat very present but just within reason .Light sweetness on the palate paired with lots of fruit and some floral notes.... Alcohol a bit pungent here too.... nevertheless very tasty.
Review by Serge
Very tasty rum. Top from nose to finish. I like the lychee that comes through slowly on the palate. Very rich and great rum. wood is really still within the framework and alcohol very well integrated.In direct comparison with Rum Club and Tara clearly the most fruity
Review by zabo
At the Community Tasting in Nuremberg, I was deeply introduced to the world of Clarendon and grew fond of it. Although for me the differences between 7 different bottlings were rather small. I liked them all. Probably it was more due to the quantity that I couldn't really distinguish anything anymore. I will taste them all again calmly one by one.
Review by Olivia
I find the rum quite woody, already a bit too woody for my taste, and nicely spicy. Discreet fruity notes. The alcohol stings a bit. However, the rum ansich is pleasantly round.
Review by Alex1981
Brett! Full of flavors, power, long finish. Rotten fruits paired with some minty freshness. Geiles Teil //update: rating unchanged. Love these intense old EMBs with their symphony of fruits, wood & herbal spices. Long & meaty finish.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4796 24.07.2024 Sampling a bit at home while watching Band of Brothers. Nose Intense, fresh, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, plum, light mint, light floral. Palate Oily, fresh, light wood, esters, light floral, faint chocolate, light roasted, medium spicy, anise, fruity, banana. Finish Long and spicy, round, balanced, light wood, light citrus, faint mint. The empty glass has some herbs, dried fruit and light banana. This rum needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will kill the more subtle notes in the profile.
Review by Frank
12th GRF, Colors of Rum Tasting. Quick and short... Nose: nice EMB, caramelly, fruity, orange, passion fruit, fresh, Palate: great fruity, fine mint, already a little sharpness, but very balanced...
Review by Christian Rudt
Relatively moderate Clarendon in cask strength. Found him pretty round. Intensive yes but there are certainly some others with more strength out back
Review by Mirco
Powerful 1995 Clarendon with clear maturity and intense aroma. On the nose, fermented fruit, banana, glue, and a spicy woody note, plus a slightly earthy depth. On the palate, dry and complex with strong oak influence, spice, a bit of citrus, and a sharp edge that fits the vintage well. The alcohol is forceful but remains cleanly integrated. Overall, a distinctive, complex Clarendon from a strong vintage, powerful and aromatically convincing.
Review by Mike H.
Very nice although extremely alcoholic Clarendon with lots of spices and wood.
Review by Jarek
My personal favorite of the day.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Tried at the 12th GRF, in the masterclass at Colours of Rum: The nose reveals it immediately, this is Clarendon in the glass. Great mix of tropical fruits and dark, earthy notes, a bit meaty and even some glue. On the palate, the dark, bitter notes dominate, especially wood, some meaty (umami?) and burnt or even burnt sugar! Good 95 Clarendon, but with very present alcohol. Not the best representative of this vintage, but still very good!
Review by alex
Very good Clarendon. You can feel a bit of alcohol, surprising but not disturbing. Nice note of salted caramel, white fruit (peach) and a hint of lychee. Also ripe banana. Very nice length in the mouth. I love it 🤩🤩
Review by Andi
In the nose first very fruity and sweetish.On the palate then very complex, light sweetness, fruity, woody, spicy, with a light mint finish.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Clarendon with really massive aroma
Review by Olimpia1936
Great drink, pity about that slightly medicinal aftertaste.
