Whisky & Rhum Clarendon L‘Esprit 2007
Hardcore Jamaica fans who want a tasting glass, not a party rum, are the right crowd here. At 67% the alcohol runs hot and present — one taster said it takes a second sip "to tame the beast." Expect lacquer, furniture polish, damp wood, dried fruit and a sour, mineral edge over grapefruit. Less exuberant than some Clarendons, more complex.
- Complex, evolving palate
- Well-integrated 67%

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Hot, woody cask-strength Jamaica sipper A serious cask-strength sipper, not an easy one. Most find the 67% well integrated but fierce, with damp wood, leather and dried fruit. Several call it pure dissection material.

Review by Léo Delek
It's less exuberant than other clarendons I've tasted, but also more complex. The taste evolves for a while, with notes of fruit, leather, nuts and a very pleasant vegetal side. Very well-integrated alcohol at 67%.
Review by Ayc
The skittle has been open for a while, but this is a very fine selection. Nice length with ripe fruit and well-integrated alcohol. I'm at TDL, so the bottle is old, but it's worth buying.
Review by Johannes
Sehr ähnlich zu dem Rum Shark 2007, der angeblich von Appleton ist. Auch hier Lack, Möbelpolitur, Holz. Richtig intensiv.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The rum is pale gold in color, due to its young age (9 years). On the nose, everything is perfectly blended, making it rather difficult to describe. But it's mainly buttery, with vegetal-floral-herbaceous notes and a few traces of vanilla in the background. On the palate, the alcohol is warm and omnipresent. A second swig is needed to tame the beast. It's a far cry from Jamaican standards, with a Port-Mourant-like wet woodiness, a sour mouthfeel and a minerality. This is clearly not a rum for pleasure. It's a pure, hard-drinking rum.
