Rhum Attitude Clarendon EMB 2012

People who like their Jamaican pot-still on the dark, roasted side will want this Clarendon. At 68% it stays surprisingly rounded: dark chocolate, coffee and overripe papaya, with a bitter-orange marmalade edge and a hint of Earl Grey. The heat is tucked in well — one taster half-joked it could pass as an easy sipper for hardliners. Some found a sister cask more compelling.

The community says
  • Well-integrated 68%
  • Chocolate and coffee
  • But: Sister cask preferred

A Clarendon with 68%, exclusively available in the Rhum.Attitude shop. The entry on the palate is already smooth and creamy sweet and convinces with tropical fruits. The spiciness increases towards the finish. The initially mentioned 68% are very well integrated! Could pass as an easy sipper for absolute hardliners =D

I don't like it as much as the first barrel, which was also in the Rhum Attitude shop. Here there is more chocolate but the EMB vibes work better for me in the predecessor. Don't necessarily need a bottle.

Surprisingly round and complex Clarendon considering the age. Bergamot and bitter orange marmalade meets overripe papaya, dark chocolate and Earl Grey tea. The whole very intense, slightly sweetish and the alcohol surprisingly well integrated. Nice thing!
