Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4935 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, round, fruity, light wood, faint roasted, pineapple, light citrus, faint leather. Palate Fresh, round, light wood, light leather, faint rubber, overripe, banana, faint citrus, faint ginger. Finish Long and warm, light wood, medium dry, fruity, light pineapple, faint leather, faint rubber.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Clarendon funky et bien costaud. Le mark MLC s’exprime dès les premiers instants du nez avec la colle, le vernis de bois et les esters, mais aussi avec de beaux fruits exotiques sur l’ananas, la banane et la mangue. On retrouve la pâte de chez Clarendon avec ce côté frais et herbacé, un boisé intense et légèrement toasté et des épices plutôt vives. Le profil est varié et équilibré. L’attaque en bouche est plutôt pêchue pour le degré d’alcool. Le côté astringent et médicinal prend le dessus, puis le boisé rôti et épicé vient avec une subtile note de chocolat noir avant de laisser filer des notes herbacées. On ressent également les effluves de fruits secs et tropicaux qui apportent de la gourmandise. Un profil relativement puissant pour son degré d’alcool, pas désagréable mais plutôt intense. La finale est longue, marquée par les tonalités fruitées (banane, ananas), herbacées et florales. Du tabac, des esters, des notes épicées et de bois rôti viennent corser la finale déjà bien astringente et sèche. Un profil complexe à mi-chemin entre le funk et le vieux rhum d’expérience, pas le plus évident à boire mais il offre une belle expérience globale. Le prix est quelque peu discutable, mais il est peu probable que l’on descende en-dessous pour un rhum de ce compte d’âge, ce millésime et ce mark.
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
This MLC is a solid stunner for me. The explosion of fresh tropical fruits, red berries, and a hint of melon on the nose just pulls you in. The palate is beautifully balanced with juicy notes of mango, dates, and figs, all draped in a touch of honey. My only gripe? Why isn’t this at cask strength! With a bit more ABV, this could’ve hit legendary status. Still, what a beauty, a true fruit bomb that leaves you wanting more. Honestly, it’s the kind of rum I’d love to have a full bottle of at home.

Solid 2001 Clarendon without any major rough edges. Delicious.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Birne kiwi und Papaya treffen an der Nase aufeinander. Dazu kommt am Gaumen ein fast schon kreide-artiges Mundgefühl, pelzig und adstringierend, sowie leicht medizinisch. Erinnert an Kampfer, Gummi, Menthol und Ingwer-Tee, zusammen mit diversen überreifen Früchten. Extrem frisch im Abgang und vollmundig. Trifft nicht unbedingt meinen Geschmack, ist aber dennoch gut gemacht und hat ein relativ hohes Niveau. Wäre sicher auch spannend in Fassstärke gewesen, anderseits kommen die Aromen so genau auf den Punkt.
