Valinch & Mallet Clarendon Pure Single Rum 2010
Not the roaring ester bomb Jamaica trained you to expect — this Clarendon plays it gentle. Fresh pineapple and green apple lead, with soft esters, light herbs and a faint medicinal note under quiet oak. Several tasters call it a good gateway into Jamaican terroir. Others find it thin for 56.6% and a touch astringent, with plenty of varnish and a short finish.
The community says- Juicy pineapple
- Gentle esters
- But: Thin body

Review by Julien Ries
A surprisingly funky nose with gentle esters that transport us straight to Jamaica, but without the spicy, heavy power of the Hampdens. Here, it's all about delicacy, with notes of fresh pineapple and tart green apple. It's all about the fruit, and it's very greedy. On the palate, it's still delicious, but without the liveliness of esters. This rum is ideal for discovering the special terroir of Jamaican rums, without offending the most sensitive palates. The alcohol is very well integrated. There's a profusion of exotic fruits: pineapple, papaya, passion fruit and a touch of mango. Mild spices like cinnamon and a little clove, which gives it a medicinal edge, soften the palate. The finish is medium-light, with a very light woodiness and a little fruitiness.
