Cadenhead‘s Clarendon Clarendon Distillery 2010
The nose is the best part here — fruity, floral, sweet, with peach and a touch of leather — and then the palate pulls a switch. Several tasters loved the smell but found the mouth turns herbal, bitter and medicinal, with the alcohol showing pepper. Think strong tea, mocha, dried fruit and Clarendon's signature iodine note. Give it half an hour open and it softens.
- Gorgeous floral nose
- Peach and fruit
- Opens up nicely

How does Cadenhead‘s Clarendon Clarendon Distillery 2010 taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Lovely nose, bitter herbal-medicinal palate A gorgeous, fruity-floral nose that the palate doesn't live up to — herbal, bitter and a bit hot. Most call it decent but not the best Clarendon vintage.

Weinbergpfirsich an der Nase und blumige Noten.
Review by Lot-NAS
Initially I found it kind of flat but leaving it there for a half hour opened it up really nice, adding flowery notes, some menthol and violets to the molasses-vanilla base. For half the price I would take a bottle.

Review by Joachim Guger
I like the nose very much. Fruity, medicinal and very herbal. Then powerful, furry in the mouth. That's where he swings the club. 3 bags of Earl Gray brewed for 20 minutes.🇯🇲 Warm finish, beautiful caramel notes remain. Very good monymusk. Thanks to Bonn!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
As expected, it cannot keep up with the HV EMB 2010 (RX227) tasted at the same time and certainly not with the Clarendons of 1995 and 1997, which won awards almost across the board; nevertheless, it is a solid rum, which is pleasing not least because of its light peach notes.
Review by DomM
With enough time in the glass, the nose becomes less „bitey“ and the bottling develops the common continental fruit basket alongside Clarendon herbs and medicinal notes. Despite the reduction in this bottling, a harshness remains even after quite some time in the glas. The reduction works pretty good on the palate making this one easy drinkable. Fruits, spices and herbal bonbons. Not bad.

Kdyby byla chuť ještě výraznější, byla by to pecka
Review by Rodolphe
Un Clarendon assez jeune. Le nez est vraiment agréable, en mêlant un coté fruité à un coté plus végétal, avec un soupçon de cuir. Cool. La bouche est moins agréable, assez épicée, le nez ne le laissait pas présager. Les fruits sont plus discrets, mais pas le coté herbe. Donc au final c'est assez médicamenteux. J'ai moins aimé cette bouche, dommage car le nez était vraiment cool.
Review by Christian Rudt
Ordentlich Kräuter und zuviel Jod. Etwas mehr Frucht wäre hier schön gewesen. solide aber verzichtbar
Review by Johannes
A pronounced astringent bitterness on the finish. Alcohol could also be a little better integrated.
Review by Thunderbird
Die Nase ist ganz hervorragend, fruchtig blumig und süß…am Gaumen dann der Schreck, dieser passt so gar nicht, die Frucht verliert sich völlig, eine starke Bitternote prägt zunächst das Bild, wird von zu starkem Mokka, Röstnoten und Kräutern begleitet, der Alkohol zeigt sich zunehmend von der pfefferigen Seite, der Gaumen ist sehr unausgewogen und rau. Im Abgang dauert die Bitterkeit an und weicht später etwas Trockenobst und Kräutern… Diese Abfüllung ist nicht so ganz gelungen, schade…denn die Nase versprach da deutlich mehr
Review by Leo Tomczak
Compared with RX16283 2010 Clarendon. Well, what is this one. A little sweet, a little bitter. Alcohol not optimally integrated. No fish, no meat. I can't imagine being able to remember this rum again. Plus the current price situation. For 60€ I would have seen an entry-level single cask here. As it is, this is a failure without any notable flaws.
