Clarendon S.B.S Jamaica MMW 2020
Best sipped neat and given room — at 59.5% it comes in hot and dry. Expect pineapple and tropical fruit, glue and nail-varnish ester, plus a firm woody, tannic backbone from the Pajarete cask. Several tasters catch a touch of raisin sweetness behind it, but the palate finishes dry with barely any sugar. Young, robust, a bit bitter and astringent on the finish.
The community says- Pineapple and ester
- Cask-strength punch
- Keep in mind: Young and hot

How does Clarendon S.B.S Jamaica MMW 2020 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Young, dry, estery Clarendon with woody grip Most find this a punchy young Clarendon: estery pineapple and glue over a dry, tannic Pajarete-cask body. Fun to try, though the heavy oak and astringency can tire the palate.

A young Clarendon that's full-bodied, robust and very much on the ball. The nose is powerful, imbued with both Jamaican funk (esters, nail polish, glue, tropical fruit) and cask (a blend of wine and sherry). Lively spices and aromatic herbs energize the profile, which is fairly young, spirited and concentrated, but marked by aging all the same. The attack on the palate is sharp and concentrated. The tannins are very present, suffocating the palate with their dryness. The parajete has an effect, with an alcoholic side to the raisin. There's a marked woodiness, tropical fruit, glue, esters and pepper. There's a heavy, dry and powerful side to this rum that shows its strong character. The alcohol is fairly well integrated, even if you can feel it with the barrel. The finish is long, full-bodied and similarly constructed. Medicinal and fruity notes (exotic, citrus and dried fruit) follow with the cask, alcohol, spices (chili) but also with a slightly roasted side and very light caramel. A rather exotic Clarendon, but one that could quickly become stuffy over time, and whose profile could be absorbed by the cask at some point in my opinion. It's a nice experience, but shouldn't be pushed too far.

I like it, but I'm not entirely convinced. You can clearly taste the influence of Paxarette. Behind it is a typical Monymusk, dry, somewhat bitter, astringent.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4677 22.03.2024 Tasting arranged by Romdeluxe and presented by Parminder S. Bhatia one of the owners of 1423. Nose Intense, light wood, ester, light glue, faint herbs, fruity, pineapple. Palate Medium dry, light wood, faint roasted, spicy, fruity, citrus, pineapple, light glue, ester. Finish Long, medium dry, fruity, citrus, faint caramel, light glue, light wood. Pretty OK Wedderburn though it is pretty young. Was fun to try.
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
Quite good, young Clarendon with interestingly present estery notes on the nose considering it's MMW marque. The Pajarete cask adds a nice sweetness to it, would be interesting to see sugar content. I'm giving it a solid 8.2 points.

Svezi vanilkova oriskova Herbal Not so sharp but the percentages are significant
Review by bylika
very heavy, thick and oily, dry and woody/tannic, roasted pineapple, banana chips, mouth coating like honey, some baking spices(sbs for short), fruity-dried-glue, prunes and plums, black cherry, passion fruit, very long finish that’s as full as the palette delicious, so much it’s almost tiring
Review by Deadfame
Light golden color. Aroma of bananas, light thinner, flowers, honey, wax. Taste very dry, fresh, but strangely gentle. It copies the aroma but is not as pronounced.
Review by Richard Krupa
Light esters mixed with fruity taste
Review by Tomáš Jankovský
The rum has a deep amber colour. I can smell esters, glue and fruity notes of pineapple on the nose. A little touch of wood. On the palate, again fruity and woody notes and almost no sweetness. The rum has a fresh to slightly funky feel to me. I like this Jamaica quite a lot.
