Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon Kirsch Whisky Exclusive MMW 2000
Neat is the only way in, and even then it fights back: at 66.6% the heat and herbs hit before the fruit does. Give it air and a few drops of water and it opens into mango, papaya, lemon and vinegary ester over dry oak. Members love the intense Monymusk profile but agree it's no easy sipper — bitter, astringent, and demanding.
The community says- Intense MM fruit
- Long oily finish
- Bitter and astringent

The look inside the bottle
How does Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon Kirsch Whisky Exclusive MMW 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Fierce cask-strength Monymusk, fruity but demanding Intense, distinct Monymusk that rewards patience — several find the alcohol only "recht als schlecht" integrated and the bitter side too loud. Water and rest help a lot.

Review by DomM
Very intense and distinct MM profile. Rather on the fruity side. Very powerful with plenty of flavors - no easy sipper. Like it!Edit: A few drops of water go a long way with this one.Edit2: A couple of weeks oxidation in the opened bottle also helped to smoothen out some of the harsher edges - really enjoyable after all
Review by Boletus
Der Geruch ist anfangs doch ziemlich verschlossen und profitiert merklich von einer etwas längeren Standzeit, wohingegen sich im Mund die „teuflischen“ 66,6% sofort durch eine intensive Schärfe bemerkbar machen und die Speichelproduktion auf ein Maximum hochfahren lassen. Dadurch entwickelt sich jedoch eine ungemein cremige Fruchtvielfalt, die für die überstandenen Stiche in die Mundschleimhaut ausreichend entschädigt. Im weiteren Verlauf dreht es dann immer mehr ins Holzige mit einer ordentlichen Ladung an Gewürzen und dem ein oder anderen Bittermoment. Wahrlich nicht einfach zu genießen, macht aber schon Spaß.
Review by Frank
Feiner Monymusk mit teuflischen 66,6% Nase: schön citrisch-fruchtig, fast metallisch, gelbe Zitrone mit süßlich-saurer Stachelbeere und Kiwi, angenehme Ester mit etwas Essig. Zart holzig-rauchig und ganz leicht Bleistiftmine. Intensiv und interessant. 8,1 Gaumen: schon kräftig und bitter-salzig sowie adstringent zu Beginn. Zitrone, grüner Apfel und Muskat. Dazu leicht röstig mit einer gewissen Speckigkeit. Auch hier kommt noch etwas Bleistiftmine und Lakritze hinzu. Das hohe Alter ist nicht wirklich auszumachen. Interessant, aber wirkt auch etwas spröde. 7,9
Review by Thunderbird
A classic but not outstanding MMW. The alcohol is more fairly than poorly integrated! The sharp bitter side prevails!
Review by Johannes
Würzig, adstringierend, trocken, etwas bitter. Alkohol könnte einen Ticken besser eingebunden sein.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Quite average monymusk, a little too bitter and too acidic for me and alcohol not well enough integrated...
