CoR Clarendon Jamaica Ed. 3 1996
Sip this one slowly and neat — at 67% it's fiery, but the alcohol sits so well integrated that the heat never bullies you. Menthol and black tea run through it, with tropical fruit (banana, lime, pineapple), varnish and glue, dry oak and a whiff of smoke behind. Twenty-five years old and still unmistakably Clarendon. Complex, spicy, more herbal-dry than sweet.

- Well-integrated 67%

Fiery aged Clarendon: menthol, tea, tropical funk Enthusiasts rate it high and keep circling back to the mint, tea and fiery spice. A few find the glue and butyric edge distracting, but they're the minority here.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Clarendon plaisant et versatile. Le nez démarre sur des notes très variées : les fruits tropicaux (banane, mangue, papaye) viennent avec le menthol apporter de la gourmandise à un nez vif et puissant. Le boisé, vernis et rôti, s’ajoutent à des notes de piment et de colle qui viennent intensifier le tout. Un profil plutôt complet et avec du cachet. En bouche, le Clarendon fait parler sa puissance de feu : le boisé et les notes empyreumatiques viennent avec les notes médicinales apporter chaleur et intensité au palais. Les fruits exotiques (citron vert, ananas) s’allient encore une fois au menthol, mais aussi aux notes herbacées (thé noir) pour apporter une fraîcheur qui contraste avec le reste. Le profil est puissant mais complexe, offrant même un bel équilibre des saveurs. L’alcool est très bien intégré. La finale n’est pas en reste et offre un boisé sec, pimenté (gingembre) et fumé, accompagné de tabac et de notes médicinales. Le thé, le menthol et les fruits (papaye, citron vert, fruits secs) ramènent encore la balle au centre autour de cette belle dualité aromatique. Un joli Clarendon qui propose une expérience riche et agréable tout au long de la dégustation.
Review by Oliver
Very pleasant mint notes on the nose. Intense, spicy and some tropical fruit. Balanced yet complex on the palate. Pleasant bitterness of black tea. Little fruit and rather dry spicy. I like very much!
Review by Jakob
Does not quite keep pace with the '95 vintage, but still moves sicug at a high level. Again, juicy fruit esters, tea, mint, fiery spice, wood and some smoke - aromatically very impressive.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I like this one a lot. The fruit is very light on the profile and I like the light roasted wood notes. ABV is pretty well integrated.
Review by Johannes
Exciting and complex Jamaican, where the tropical barrel aging had a clear influence. Beautiful mint note!
Review by Pavel Spacek
Extremly fruity. Similar taste of fruit is in some IPA beers.
