Review by TheJackDrop
Petits samples à la maison. Couleur très claire un peu déroutante, premier nez quasi inodore qui m’a un peu surpris, mais après 1h d’aération : Pomme banane et poire au nez, avec un côté médicament (sûrement la banane). Avec aération supplémentaire on est presque sûr la tarte tatin. En bouche : Vanille, poire, médicinal, Finale : Très épicé, presque piment mais pas si longue. Pas mal mais je ne suis pas conquis.

Precious Drops 19yo Clarendon (DNC) Review: A lovely yet peculiar nose—rich with sweet maltiness, nougat, and a hint of puffy cookie. This sweetness is counterbalanced by tart, vibrant fruit: unripe plum and sour cherry, with a touch of sweet guava and passionfruit adding complexity. On the palate, it’s intense—both sweet and strikingly sour—carrying an ashy texture (perhaps from the prior consumed cheese) and a sharp acidity that keeps things lively. The medium-length finish is slightly shorter than expected, given the bold attack on the palate. Notes of pungent brine and fresh green tones complement an astringent finish. This is unmistakably a classic Clarendon profile—one that hasn’t always been my favorite, but I find myself appreciating more and more as my rum journey continues. This particular bottle is backed by a nice sweetness that balances throughout. There’s an addictive quality to that briny, green, sour-apple finish. Happy to recommend this one (1/1 binary scale)

Tasted at German rum festival Very tastefull. Better than the Uitvlugt DNC bottling in my opinion. Definitely recommend tasting it.

Basket of continental fruits. Strong influence from the cask with vanilla and caramel notes.

Review by Christian Rudt
A lot of wood initially closes off everything else, orange fruits slowly come through. The bourbon barrel also dominates the taste. A little (tropical) fruit can be detected. A fine example of continental storage.

14.10.2024 Casa Havana Praha DNC = Do Not Colect voni svěže, po citrusu, mírně broskve, mirnounce kanagom chutná jemně, ale potom pobrousí jazyk pěkně po jamajsky

Review by Martin Švojgr
Clarendon je velmi zastineny whisky.
Review by Elias Berger
Very tasty, fruity (pear and apple), slightly nutty
Review by Basti
Tasted in direct comparison with the 2004 Clarendon from Precious liquors, the DNC unfortunately clearly loses out. The nose is rather flat and meaningless, everything is simply missing here. Unfortunately, it's the same on the palate.
