A niche, for-experienced-palates Clarendon with an unusual dry Calvados finish. Expect apple brandy notes, grape and honey over sharp alcohol, pepper and roasted spice. Most RumX members find it rough, best with plenty of air or in mixed drinks rather than as a serious sipper.
The community says- Interesting finish
- But: Alcohol poorly integrated
- But: Bitter/astringent

Review by Lot-NAS
I actually like Calvados and it can also work well as a finish. But unfortunately it didn't here. Very one-dimensional and boring. You can't speak of a harmonious addition of both facets here.
Review by F.L.O.
Was a bit shocked by the brew at first. Calvados finish sounded really tasty and the finish here is not the problem either. The problem is the base product. It lacks in every corner. The alcohol is also insufficiently integrated. It gets better after about 30 minutes of "ventilation". But still only a good 4.
Review by Werni
I first thought of a bad Australian or Fiji, at least there's no more from Clarendon. Quite sweet, alcohol poorly integrated. If you let it breathe for a long time, it passes as an easy sipper.
Review by Jan Lu
Good rum for beginners. Alcohol is not so well integrated. Not a masterpiece but okay.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Unpleasant rum. Bitter and spicy. Calvados experiment failed. Reminds me of the subterranean Clarendon from RA (RX2803), made even worse by the Calvados finish. A dust-dry rum that can only be credited with the fact that it almost certainly has a dosage = 0. No recommendation.
Review by Johannes
Quite astringent! I don't really like it!

Egg liquor and raisin
Review by zabo
Oweia, unfortunately that was nothing. Which rum was it supposed to be, or was it just a bad Calvados? You never know. Definitely not for me. Old sample destroyed, cola and ice in, chopped underneath.
