"Holzig und bitter muss man definitiv mögen," as one taster put it — and that sums it up. This 40-year Clarendon is all oak: intense woodiness, sour citrus and peel, menthol and solvent, with dark chocolate and sour cherry underneath. The fruit shines on the nose but fades on a dry, tannic, astringent palate. Long, warming, slightly bitter finish. A wood lover's rum.
The community says- Amazing fruity nose
- Deep integrated oak
- Keep in mind: Very tannic, astringent

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Insanely old Clarendon essence! The typical menthol, varnish tones and overripe sour citrus fruits are very dominant. In addition, some cocoa nibs, dark sour cherries and a slight cognac influence. Red grapes, Limousin oak, black pepper and grapefruit zest on the finish. Lots of tannins and quite astringent on the finish. Nevertheless, a very exciting wine!

#6831 23.05.2026 Running some evening samples while listening to some nice Trance tracks on Spotify. A very expensive bottle, but it is a good rum, maybe overpriced but good. An intense rum with fruits, spices, roasted wood, leather, light smoke, coffee and some tobacco.
Review by Andi
Nice finish for 2024 and my last tasting of the year. Fruity, lots of wood, solvents and essential oils, mint. On the nose fruity and on the palate more wood with a slight bitterness. But all still within a pleasant range.
Review by Filip Šikula
It's taken me a while since the actual opening (which I think was the first in the Czech Republic - we wave to alexadr at the castle), but I finally got around to writing a few words about it. I must stress that they are seen through my amateur lens. I like rums with a story, and I generally like it when something is the best. So if Planteray releases their oldest bottling, playing with details like a stopper milled from the cask itself then that's something I'm interested in. Coincidentally, they released the bottle at just the right time to open something really special, so I wiped away a tear at checkout and ordered the bottle. The packaging itself is a big deal, but I think someone has covered it very extensively here recently, so I won't wax poetic again. I just hope it's really beautiful. Let's go get some rum. I'd mention the 35 tropical aging, which will give an expected big load of wood. The color is darker mahogany. The aroma is dominated by fruity, citrus notes, complemented by wood. With time, perhaps chocolate and roasted almonds and coconut. In the mouth it is very oily, pouring a dry, woody coating over the whole palate, and this sensation remains for a very long time. The fruity side goes into the background, I would have expected much more of it. I wouldn't be afraid to compare the sensation to that of AEH 84. I can't leave out the phrase " alcohol perfectly integrated. The finish is dense, pleasantly warm, crushing and very long. And in it the fruit finally reappears. For me, this is a perfect piece, with perhaps only a small gripe about the price tag of this masterpiece.
Review by Johannes
Tropically matured for an incredible 35 years! Lots of wood, essential oils, menthol, solvent, astringent, somewhat bitter, long finish. Fantastic!
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
Sooo, where to start. 😅 After 35 years of tropical ageing this rum is very round and alcohol is well integrated. I won't write all my notes because it would be too long, but in general, on the nose it's very fruity and woody. With aerination, I got some darker notes, mostly roasted coconut and even some coffee & cocoa. The palate has dominant sour-fruity notes of pineapple and citrus fruits & peel. Finish is quite long, with intense tropical fruits again, woodiness and I even get slight grapes notes hiding somwhere in the back. For me, this is an excellent rum.
Review by Christoph
This is my rum. Forest bathing would be far too simple a term here. Sour cherry and lemon peel on the nose. Orange comes through on the palate. In addition to the intense oak notes, there's plenty of dark chocolate. I wish I had this in my cupboard instead of Appleton Hearts 1984.
Review by Djehey
What's surprising is that the woodiness isn't quite so overwhelming. There's little ester but a lovely acidity that refreshes the whole. The fruit is candied and stewed. Dark chocolate diversifies the tannic finish... A fine experience
Review by Pavel Spacek
Amazing nose, full of fruit. Integrated alcohol, mild, soo woody in taste. Unfortunately the fruit taste is weak in the taste. And sooo sour
Review by Kenny
You definitely have to like woody and bitter. Otherwise I would advise against it. Just right for me
