The Wild Parrot Clarendon Parish 1995
People deep into Jamaican EMB Clarendon will find this 25-year, 65.9% single cask worth a look — but manage expectations. It noses well (dried fruit, plum, glue, medicinal menthol, spice) yet the palate leans wood-and-alcohol heavy, with less fruit and depth than its 1995 siblings. Tropical fruit and clove show, but several tasters call the ethanol poorly integrated. Needs time and water.
The community says- Rich dried-fruit nose
- Menthol and spice
- But: Hot, harsh alcohol

How does The Wild Parrot Clarendon Parish 1995 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Intense, woody Clarendon that runs hot Fans rate the nose highly, but most place it in the lower third of the 1995 EMB releases: intense and woody, with the hot alcohol getting in the way for many.

Tasted it today under tropical conditions at Manati Haus Tiergarten Nuremberg. No idea, but found it neither sharp-edged nor alcoholic as so often described in the reviews. This is probably due to the temperature and humidity. For me, in any case, a delicious drop as a conclusion. Thanks Leo for the sample.

Unfortunately quite disappointed. Compared to the other Clarendons in my tastings, I had very high expectations. Unfortunately, these were only met on the nose. On the palate, the poorly integrated alcohol dominates for me, preventing a good rating.
Review by DomM
While all of the 95 EMBs don’t really hide their high ABV on the nose to much, the PW fails to develop the complex bouquet other bottlings develop even after a long period in the glas. This feels stuck at „alcohol and wood“ missing out on the depth of other bottlings with herbs, fruits and some sweetness, unfortunately. On the palate again more would forwards with less complexity. A bit more bitey versus the completion but not too bad imo. Solid but cannot quite hold up vs. other bottlings. Rather in the lower third of the vintage.
Review by Serge
For me, this Vergreter tends to land in the lower midfield of the 95 EMB releases. The fruit component is there, but somehow not as nice as with other representatives, where it goes more from pear and unripe guava to mango, lychee or peach. Nice wood and menthol note with lots of spice.
Review by Oliver
Quite a lot of fruit and coconut on the nose. On the palate, however, a bit too biting.
Review by Leo Krüper
Tobacco, eucalyptus, men's rum. Has a lot of power and a lot of wood influence. Definitely needs a lot of time.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
12.12.2020 Nice tasting at a local bar with all new rummies. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, light wood, roasted, dried fruit, plum, polish, light medicinal, spice. Palate Intense, light spicy, light wood, faint smoke, orange, prunes, spice, light mint. Finish Very long and warm, wood, light roasted, light mint, tobacco, fruits.
Review by Mentalo
Clarendon 1995 EMB in direct comparison. The Wild Parrot is for me a low outlier compared to the otherwise high 1995 quality. By far not as complex and harmonious. The alcohol worst integrated. Relatively little fruit. Lots of menthol and wood.
Review by Skyfly
Unfortunately, it is not convincing in crosstasting. Nevertheless, fruity from start to finish. Wood and barrel notes are more present. It is generally much spicier. Alcohol burns a little on the finish, but not too strongly
Review by DaveLamb
flavors are incomplete. It could do better and better more impressive and "particular"(for the "classic" wild parrot).
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is warm and mellow. It's fruity (pear-citrus and tropical fruit), with a grassy freshness. Varnish and glue show up, of course, as do spices and vanilla. The alcohol doesn't get in the way, and it's a far cry from some Jam' high ester noses! On the palate, the alcohol is warm and lively. The rum is rather oily and coats the entire palate in an instant. There's a vegetal side to it, with hints of tropical fruit. But it's mostly spicy (vanilla - pepper...). Notes of clove and ginger.
Review by Caroni.Martin
Once you get used to the ester notes a really outstanding drop!
Review by Buddudharma
EMB is one of my favorite profiles, the 1995 vintage generally produces only good to excellent rums. This one is rather in the lower mid-range, as there are much more aromatic and complex representatives. For the proud price, there are more worthwhile alternatives.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
This is really something in the level of being intense. But alas, there is just so much not in its favour. It is a bit too raw, it doesnt seem to really hit a very decent spot with the power and falls really monotone at the end. shame!
