Cadenhead's Clarendon 2010
Here's the twist: the nose is the best part, and the palate can't keep up. Members find it fruity, floral and sweet up front — peach, violets, molasses-vanilla — then the mouth turns herbal, bitter and medicinal, with pepper from the 55% alcohol that isn't always tucked in. Give it half an hour in the glass and it opens up noticeably. A herb-and-iodine Clarendon Jamaican.
The community says- Lovely fruity nose
- Herbal, medicinal character
- Keep in mind: Bitter palate

How does Cadenhead's Clarendon 2010 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Great nose, herbal-bitter palate, needs air Most agree the nose is lovely — fruity, floral, sweet — but the palate disappoints: bitter, herbal, medicinal, with alcohol that isn't fully integrated. A decent Clarendon that promises more than it gives.

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.

A bit burning Apricot Green grass
Review by zabo
All in all, this bottling doesn't really knock my socks off. It certainly can't keep up with other bottlings from this vintage. Overall, I personally find it too alcoholic and medicinal. What the nose promises at the beginning cannot keep up on the palate.
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.
Review by Rodolphe
A fairly young Clarendon. The nose is really pleasant, mixing a fruity side with a more vegetal side, with a hint of leather. Cool. The palate is less pleasant, quite spicy, the nose did not suggest that. The fruits are more discreet, but not the grassy side. So in the end it's quite medicinal. I liked the palate less, a pity because the nose was really cool.

#4758 22.06.2024 Nice tasting afternoon and evening with Hannes at the shop in Odense. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, fruity, spices, floral, light vegetal, faint citrus.. Palate Warm, medium spicy, light wood, faint roasted, fruity, pineapple, light floral, faint caramel, light vegetal. Finish Medium to long, light wood, fruits, spice, faint chocolate, faint floral.
Review by Leo Krüper
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.
Review by mto75
Vineyard peach on the nose and floral notes.
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 Thunderbird
The nose is excellent, fruity, floral, and sweet... then the shock on the palate, it just doesn't fit, the fruit completely disappears, a strong bitterness initially dominates, accompanied by too strong mocha, roasted notes, and herbs, the alcohol increasingly shows a peppery side, the palate is very unbalanced and rough. The finish's bitterness lasts and later gives way to some dried fruit and herbs... This bottling is not quite successful, a pity... because the nose promised much more.
Review by Martin Švojgr
If the flavor were even more pronounced, it would be awesome.
Review by Johannes
A pronounced astringent bitterness on the finish. Alcohol could also be a little better integrated.
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 Christian Rudt
Decent herbs and too much iodine. A bit more fruit would have been nice here. Solid but dispensable.
