Review by WhiskyNotes.be
While none of its elements are uncommon for Clarendon, the balance seems to be a bit different due to the low ABV. More fruits come out, less funk I’d say. Die-hards may find this a tad weak but I think it works really well for rum lovers who don’t need extreme esters to be happy.
Review by alex
C’est loin d’être le clarendon de l’année. C’est pas mauvais mais trop réduit. Ca manque de peps. Du fruit, de l’herbe, vanille et bois, des épices également, ça se boit bien mais j’achèterais pas une bouteille
Review by DomM
Very pleasant sipper. Great fruity nose. Fruit and wood nicely balanced on the palate. Reduction a bit too much for my taste.

#4215 This is a pretty decent release though I would have liked a higher ABV. Something is missing because of the relative low ABV. Fruity with nice balance between the elements. The wood is not taking over even after so many years. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass has some light chocolate and coconut.
Review by Alex1981
Great fruity nose but a bit weak on the palate & finish. Typical Clarendon profile otherwise.
Review by Oliver
Great nose. Falls off a bit on the palate.
Review by Sebas143
Tasted at German rum festival Just a good rum. Not very special keeping in mind the price tag.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Unfortunately, rather disappointing. Acidic, woody, herbaceous ... not my cup of tea.
