W.D.I. Marketing Clarendon Single Pot Still Jamaica Rum 1991

Opinions land in the middle here — interesting old bottling, but nobody calls it a knockout. It's a lighter, low-ester Clarendon: smoky ester on the nose, banana, citrus peel and green pepper, then young oak and a touch of bitterness on the palate. A few tasters found it drier and more modern than expected, one even sweet and thick-bodied. Drinkable and a real curiosity more than a showpiece.

Summarized by AI from 10 community reviews.

Light, low-ester Clarendon curiosity Rated a fair middle by most — a light Jamaican worth trying for the history, marked down for a thin, unclear palate and audible alcohol at the back.

Nikis and Arturs Jamaican adventures part 2. First of all, a big thank you again for the chance to have such rarities in the glass. To put it simply, Jamaican rum decades ago was not the rum you know from Jamaica today, but still very interesting to try. These are not really top-notch, but still more than drinkable.

A rum from the series “Niki’s and Artur's Jamaican Adventures Part 2”. Esters on the nose with tropical fruits, apple, yellow fruits and light wood. Esters on the palate too, the alcohol is a bit too present, the wood is well integrated. It is a bit less interesting than the nose. A quite pleasant rum and more “modern” than the others.

On the nose I have acidity, wood and noticeable cask notes. On the palate then bourbon cask notes and some sweetness because of that. At the back the alcohol is noticeable. I don't like it, again a very unclear profile without real character.
