Perola Clarendon Bellamy's Reserve Jamaica Clarendon MDR 2007
Menthol front and center — think eucalyptus and spearmint pulled right through the nose, backed by furniture polish, leather, young oak and some not-quite-ripe tropical fruit. The nose tends to win people over more than the palate, which turns bitter, tannic and medicinal. One taster called it "very technical," which fits: a tropical-aged 2007 Clarendon that's fresh, drying and unusual rather than easy.
The community says- Deep menthol nose
- Very technical profile
- But: Bitter palate

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely intense clarendon and to my knowledge one of the first tropically matured 2007s. Personally, it's definitely too fresh, woody and bitter for me, but I'm sure there will be fans out there! The alcohol is perfectly integrated and, above all, it doesn't have the cheesy note of the cave guildive's sister cask at cask strength... But leather polish to the power of 10! Tastes extremely intensely of menthol, almost as if you were pulling spearmints through your nose and drinking some wood polish with it🤣 Nice light tropical fruit notes and a very fresh, bitter and spicy finish.
Review by cigares
Bellamy tasting. A dark rum with a nose of menthol and polish, followed by yellow fruits. There's also a marked vegetal aspect. The palate, too, is marked by menthol and even eucalyptus, giving it freshness. A taste of unripe papaya, roast and tannins. The finish is long, with plenty of freshness, wood and fruit. A very fine rum marked by menthol, but fortunately with many other aromas. I feel transported to a summit, to an island, watching the sunrise with lots of wild mint all around and in the freshness of the early morning. Just great!
Review by Mirco
Interessante Nase, sehr mentholig. Im Mund dann sehr astringent und weiter sehr mentholig mit einer starkem Kampfer. Wirkt ziemlich biestig. Am einen oder anderen Abend macht mir sowas Spass. Kein easy Sipper. Sample aus dem RumX Gewinnspiel. Besten Dank an Philipp & Perola!!
Review by Balu DeBaer
Am Anfang kommt einem ein Duft vom Verdünner entgegen... Aber nach einer Weile duftet er angenehm nach Früchten. Der erste Schluck ist eine Mischung aus Eukalyptus Bonbon und reifem Apfel. Das hab ich heraus geschmeckt. Sehr langanhaltender Geschmack. Im Abgang ist er sehr angenehm mit seinen 52%.
Review by SaibotZtar
Spicy Clarendon. The nose is even better than the taste. Nice fruity and somewhat floral nose... little wood. In the mouth very immature and alcoholic. Quite ok but nothing that I personally need.
Review by Michal S
Zajímavá dřevitá vůně s kafrem a mentolem, v pozadí trocha sušeného ovoce. Chuť je méně příjemná, mentol naprosto dominuje, je tam tabák a kafr. Průměr.
Review by Serge
Sehr intensiv für den doch recht niedrigen ABV. Schön nach Menthol/Kampher, Politur, tropischen Früchen (nicht alle reif) und nach staubig zerriebenem oder zerdrücktem Traubenzucker bzw. Minzpastillen. Ich kann verstehen, wenn jemand dieses Profil nicht so gerne mag … mir gefällt es ganz gut.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Durchschnittlicher Clarendon ohne besondere Merkmale. Schöne tiefe Nase. Im Abgang alkoholisch trotz der nur 52%.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Parádní nálož technické vůně až takový Caroni nádech. Stejný masakr je i v chuti. Tropické ovoce, lak, dehet, mentol, kůže. Nemůžu si pomoct, Bellamy's muselo místo Jamajky nalahvovat Trinidad😃 Musím si nalít hned druhý kousek.
Review by Richard Krupa
menthol, leather, polish and sweet vanilla at first, which is replaced by a rather strong bitterness at the end
Review by Johannes
Puh, ganz schön bitterer Clarendon, der sehr adstringierend ist und lange auf dem Gaumen verweilt.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste of Jamaica is light with notes of camphor, menthol, young wood and pear. Menthol, apple and pear appear in the finish. Like many other Clarendon rums, it needs some time in the glass to fully develop 👍
Review by DomM
Classic Clarendon notes with lots of wood on the palate and finish.
Review by Roman Lelek
Mentol kam se podíváš..ve vůni i v chuti..a zároveň k tomu chuť medicíny/drogerie. Zajímavý vzorek, co mě bavil, dokázal bych si představit i celou láhev.
Review by Filip Lojín
Úžasný Clarendon, silný, štiplavý, svírá pusu, toto chceš! Víc a víc! Žádná nuda. Kup láhev dokud je!
