People who chase wild, young Jamaican pot-still and drink at cask strength will find their thing here. At 67.2% it's rough and hot neat — the alcohol sits proud of everything and members agree it needs water and time to open. Give it both and you get tropical fruit, banana, honey, anise and young oak with a bitter, drying finish.

How does Malt, Grain & Cane Clarendon Youth - qing nián 2010 taste?
Summarized by AI from 15 community reviews.
Wild young Clarendon, hot and needs water Divides even fans: rated well but almost everyone flags the alcohol as not fully integrated. Wild and young, better with water — most call it interesting rather than convincing.

Needs quite some time to breath. Once opened up, the nose is pretty well balanced gravitating towards tropical fruits and a hint of honey-sweetness alongside herbal notes. Very nice on the palate with some sweetness and tropical fruits again presenting an oily texture.

Somewhat alcoholic on the nose but still with a nice fruit basket. A bit of nail polish and anise... Anna's banana and honey. On the palate... warming mouthfeel... peach, banana, and melon quickly followed by bitter notes almost like beer wort... mmh very interesting. Alcohol could be better integrated.
Review by zabo
First of all, many thanks to venomino who shared this rare bottling. About the rum itself, it needs quite some time to rest in the glass to become more accessible. Still, it can't fully convince me because, in my opinion, the alcohol is not really well integrated.
Review by Leo Krüper
Strong Clarendon. Otherwise the bitterness predominates, but here everything is quite balanced. Nevertheless, of course, the usual dry tobacco notes. Compared with RX16692 Cadenhead 2010 Clarendon. This one stomps it into the ground. Nice, unique bottling.
Review by Thunderbird
This is a strong Clarendon that needs its time in the glass. Even after ¾ of an hour, the alcohol is still clearly perceptible. But the spice (licorice, salt, allspice) and dark fruit are very present and clear. No Light sipper but great
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4203 Another local one from Singapore and this one (45-60 mins) is also pretty well balanced. Needs to rest as well before all flavours are there. Intense, fresh and fruity wit a bit of funk. The palate is warm and oily with less fruit than the nose suggests, but overall pretty good balance. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some tea and workshop notes.
Review by Timo Groeger
One more Jamaica before there are 2x Guyana. I find this Clarendon very good. Sure, we have tropical fruit and some esters, but also some wood and lacquer. Also very intense and warm in taste. I like it.
Review by Dr.Django
Very closed on the nose, the first small sip is very promising, astringent and suggests a dense richness of aromas carrying many tropical fruits. The promise quickly fades and the funky astringency quickly turns into strong alcohol that lasts until the finish. On the way there, the rum becomes spicier. Many thanks @Venomino
Review by Alex1981
Pretty wild, young Clarendon that needs some water to tame. Once opened up a nice fruity/zesty profile develops. Yummy! //update: rating confirmed, but definitely needs water to shine and bring the abv down, otherwise it is a bit too rough
Review by Mentalo
Needs time in the glass so the alcohol is no longer overbearing. Relatively dry, fruity notes, slightly bitter (especially in the finish), tobacco note, wood, a bit of menthol. Not a bad bottling, but didn't convince me either.
Review by Johannes
Wow, it's really special, but I really like it! Lots of power (although the alcohol is not badly integrated), lots of menthol, wood, yellow fruits, some salted caramel. At the beginning I had similarities to the Velier MM84, but then in the finish it seems younger.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very wild Clarendon! A few drops of water are definitely necessary here to "open" the rum... Slightly sour and bitter after lime, roasted sesame, honey-bananas and young wood with a slight salt note. I like it surprisingly well, as I'm not normally a Clarendon fan, but overall it's still very wild and young and you definitely have to be in the mood for it.
Review by Lot-NAS
That’s a tough one, I really like the nose with anise, vanilla banana and some other tropic fruits. Palate and finish are also nice (with water) but it still feels kind of young and sharp and can’t really live up to the initial expectations. Nevertheless, it was a nice drop. Thanks for sharing Venomino.
