Made for people who want a serious sipping Jamaican, not an easy pour. It's pale and dry, with furniture polish and varnish over damp wood, resinous pine, green fruit and a mineral, almost sour edge. At 67% the alcohol runs hot and needs a second sip to settle. One taster called it "un rhum de dégustation" through and through — complex but light on sweetness.
The community says- Complex, evolving palate
- Well-integrated at 67%

Summarized by AI from 19 community reviews.
Hot, dry, mineral Jamaican for slow sipping Most find it complex and rewarding but demanding — hot, dry and mineral, more like a whisky than a fun pour. Takes time and attention to open up.

Oh man, this awesome rum can really pack a punch... I'll grab another Uitvlugt right away. I've been looking forward to this fat, musty thing almost all day... This will be good...

Very similar to the Rum Shark 2007, which is supposedly from Appleton. Here too, lacquer, furniture polish, wood. Really intense.
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 Léo Delek
It is 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. Alcohol very well integrated despite its 67%. 21/06/2026: very medicinal nose, resinous like fir, cuberdon, marshmallow, spices, melon/green grape (and other fruits but really too green), yeasts, very licorice molasses, leather, tobacco. It can remind me of a whisky and the ABV is a bit too high for my taste. Lacks a bit of indulgence even though it has a lot of complexity, the kind of rum to be appreciated alone and to take your time with... the bottle will empty slowly.
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.

Vintage 2007. I rate it 8.3 out of 10, very good rum.
