Clarendon Planteray Jamaica Prestige Cellar (Warehouse #1) MMW 1998
Menthol is the twist nobody expects from a Clarendon — cool camphor and black-tea mint riding over the usual glue, nail polish and varnish. Underneath sits roasted oak, allspice and a basket of tropical and dried fruit, all dry and long on the finish. A few tasters mistook it for Long Pond or even a TECA-finished cask, it's that unusual. The one recurring wish: a touch more punch at 54%.
The community says- Cool menthol edge
- Balanced dry finish
- But: Wants more punch

How does Clarendon Planteray Jamaica Prestige Cellar (Warehouse #1) MMW 1998 taste?
Aggregated from 41 community reviews.
Menthol-medicinal Clarendon with glue and dried fruit Widely liked and clearly an atypical Clarendon — the menthol-medicinal edge wins most tasters over. A few just wish it hit harder for a 26-year cask-strength pour.

8,4:On the nose, a combination of glue, nail polish and varnish, low esters roasted wood, spicy with allspice, bananas, green apples, some petrol, camphor and flowery molasses, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, mango, citrus and maracuja arise, rubber and tea. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is fruity with overripe tropical fruits like mango, citrus and yellow fruits, later dried fruits, medicinal with low esters, nail polish, rubber, some camphor, as the wood is roasted with confectionery, butterscotch, spicy with allspice and slightly salty, the molasses is flowery, grassy and herbaceous. 8,4:The finish is long, balanced, dry, medicinal with glue, fruity with various fruits, the wood is roasted with butterscotch, sour dough bread, spicy, slightly smoky.The molasses is fresh with tea, grassy..

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very intense but also unusual Clarendon! Lots of camphor, menthol, leather polish, plus overripe, slightly bitter citrus fruits and surprisingly meaty, umami notes. Almost has a slight TECA vibe, as if an old Clarendon was finished in a Long Pond TECA cask. Basically delicious and well made but a little too extreme for me personally! 😅

Sehr intensiver, holziger, mentholiger MMW mit tropischen Ester und Klebstoff.

Adventní kalendář plantation/planteray Zdeňka Polácha 2025 Druhá adventní neděle si zaslouží výjimečný rum a tím je bezesporu Planteray Jamaica MMW 1998 Prestige Cellar Cask pro Warehouse 1. Úžasný melasový kotlíkový rum z palírny Clarendon, který zrál 21 let v tropech po bourbonu, následně byl převezen do Francie, kde odpočíval dalších 5 let v sudech po koňaku Ferrand v Javrezacu a další rok do lahvování odpočíval v Prestige Cellar přímo na Chateau de Bonbonet. Stejně jako včera jde o opravdový rumový klenot; starý poctivý destilát s perfektně integrovaným alkoholem, který nádherně voní po dřevě, koření a kůži (zřejmě toto zmátlo většinu tipujících a navedlo je na jinou destinaci). Také chuť je krásně vybalancovaná, je tam znát typický technický kanagon, dřevo, skořice, ale zároveň tam se stejnou intenzitou najdete i ovocné tóny. Včerejší a dnešní rum ukazuje, proč jsme si vloni v lednu neuměli vybrat, který z těch rumů je lepší. Když jsme u těch sudů s Jan Albrecht CigaRum stáli a napřeskáčku chutnali z jednoho i druhého, připadali jsme si jako v pohádce. Když nám pak Aleksandra Lavrova potvrdila, že pro naše fanoušky uvolní všechny tři sudy a Jiri Rabel na to dal palec, byl to happy end se vším všudy a ještě jednou za něj díky. Pro mě všechny tři tyto lahve patří do TOP10 rumů v poměru cena/příběh/kvalita, které se letos na rumovém trhu objevily. #plantadvent2025
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
Lovely MMW with a soft menthol edge and a beautifully balanced profile throughout. The nose hits with tropical funk and floral overtones, while the palate brings a nice citrus-medicinal-licorice combo that’s clean, not overbearing. The finish is fruity, spicy and gently minty / mentholy. adding a refreshing touch. Only gripe? I wish the ABV packed a bit more punch and complexity. Still, this is a classy, well-executed Clarendon that earns its 8.6 without hesitation.

I don't like Clarendons but this is quite good. Maybe because it seems to me quite different, more like Long Pond.
