Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon AHJ 1998

Fans enjoy the complex salty-woody profile and elegant citrusy nose, while critics find it too dry, bitter and thin for the age and price. Overall seen as good but niche Clarendon.

    How does Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon AHJ 1998 taste?

    Dry, salty, complex Clarendon sipper
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like mature, drier Clarendons and don’t mind salt, wood and bitterness taking the lead over fruit, this will intrigue you; otherwise, other Rest & Be Thankful marks may suit you better.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, and anyone wanting sweet, fruity or value-focused rums; the dry tannins, salt and price can feel harsh or underwhelming.

    Hier kommt im Vergleich dann so langsam der Klebstoff in's Spiel. Medizinischer, chemischer, dreckiger und vor allem reifer in den Fruchtnoten. Deutlich dickflüssiger, schwere Süße, reife Früchte am Gaumen. Hier gefällt's mir langsam richtig gut.

    RumX/Kirsch-Online-Tasting Rest&Be Thankful! Ein 25 Jahre alter Mony mit dem Mark AHJ. Mit knapp 90 gr/hlpa entspricht dies ungefähr dem Mark MBK und ist ein light Pot. Nase: fein und elegant, aber zu Beginn auch alkoholisch frisch. Vordergründig überwiegen Zitrusfrüchte, allen voran Zitrone, daneben aber auch süß-säuerliche Stachelbeere und Johannisbeere. Duftendes Kirschbaumholz und eine feine Honig-Note kommen hinzu, hinten raus wird er immer süßer und bekommt sogar eine leichte Rauchigkeit. Mit Geduld und Zeit ein feines Zeug. 8,4 Gaumen: intensiv, würzig, mit Anis und leicht speckig, dazu holzig-bitter und salzig zu Beginn, Grapefruit-Schale. Hinten etwas cremiger, aber es verbleiben Zitrusfrüchte und speckiges Holz. Für das hohe Alter recht filigran. Hätte ihn jünger geschätzt, was aber eindeutig dem geringen Ester-Gehalt und dem Light-Profil zuzuschreiben ist. Für mich zu schwach am Gaumen. 7,9

    Beeindruckende aromatische Palette voller Früchte, Holz, röstigen Bitteraromen, Schokolade und mineralischem, ins salzige hineinreichendem Geleit - reichhaltige Komplexität. Geht ins fordernde über mit seiner Bitterkeit und den Salznoten, definitiv kein easy sipper - die Komplexität spricht mich an, auch wenn es sich nicht um einen Rum für jeden Abend handelt.

    #4603 07.02.2024 online tasting with Rest & Be Thankful. Nose Faint roasted wood, fruits, floral, light mint, faint nutts. Palate Oily, smooth, light wood, faint roasted, fruity, anise, light mint and caramel. Finish Medium long, light wood, anise, dried fruit, light nutts. Wery thick slow moving curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some light varnish, smoke and raisin.
