The pale color throws people first — 24 years in the barrel, yet it looks young, because this Clarendon aged in Europe rather than the tropics. That means gentle cask influence and a light, orange-forward pot still: yellow fruit, mild ester, a little clove and citrus, sweet up front then dry on the finish. One taster even mistook it blind for an Irish whisky.

Light, orange-forward easy Jamaican sipper Most find it a mild, round, easy Clarendon sipper full of orange and light fruit. A few note the dilution left it thin and unusually light for a 24-year-old.

Got this sample for free from RumX. It’s a pot still Clarendon MMW distilled in 1997 whereafter it’s continentally aged for 24 years in an ex-rum oak barrel before bottled in 192 bottles at 49,2%. Overall a very round and smooth rum with lots of orange taste.

Very fruity on the nose, but then rather dry on the palate.
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: better and not as light as I remembered. Since one must not be deceived by the pale color. 1First, the pale color amazes, for about 24 years in the barrel has not colored much.On the nose, however, there is no surprise: fine fruit esters stream towards me.On the palate much more intense, sweet, spicy, woody and dry.The finish is quite short and dry. After a break, the fruit esters flash again.These light Clarendons do not really fit into my Beuteschema 😉
Review by DomM
Not bad this one - pleasant and very orange forwards.
Review by Serge
Really very bright for its age. The difference from the tropically stored release colleague could not be more drastic. This one is bright, floral, mild esters, yellow fruit...good, but worlds from the 1995 no.10 with tropical storage.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Quite sweet, mild and thin overall. Blindly I would never have guessed Clarendon but rather an Irish whisky. Delicious but a little irritating when you taste such an old Clarendon. But no wonder with 100% continental maturation.
Review by Johannes
I find the 97 Monymusk very good. This is already significantly diluted, but thereby a quasi easy sipper. I like it really well!
Review by Mirco
Pleasantly matured Clarendon with a mild, rounded presentation. On the nose fermented fruit, banana, some vanilla and gentle wood. On the palate soft and balanced with spice, some citrus and a subtle bitter note that gives structure. A very nice sipper where you clearly feel how much potential would still have been there without dilution, un-reduced this bottling could probably have soared much higher.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
10.02.2023 A nice CoR tasting with a good friend. Colour Light in colour. Nose Light, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, light citrus, faint floral, light grapes. Palate Light, naturally sweet, light wood, citrus, fruity, faint raisin, faint chocolate, light vegetal, orange. Finish Medium long, light wood, naturally sweet, fruits, light orange, spice, faint chocolate.
Review by DosenZorn
Amazingly bright for his age. Correspondingly, a rather restrained barrel influence, which only comes to the fore in the finish. Otherwise a nice profile in the medium ester level and rather easy drinking.
