Rest & Be Thankful Clarendon AHJ 1998

Opinions land in the mid-to-high 7s, and the recurring theme is a gap between nose and glass. Members love the light, fresh nose — green apple, banana, vanilla, a little honey — but several feel the palate turns spicy and woody and the fruit fades. A low-ester Clarendon: creamy vanilla, young oak, pepper, dried fruit. The 56% is noticeable. A few called it an "easy sipper," others wanted more tropical depth.

  • Fresh fruity nose

Fresh-nosed old Clarendon, spicy and woody neat Well-liked but not adored: a fresh, fruity nose that many say the spicy, woody palate doesn't fully live up to. Some found it thin; the 56% shows.

An der Nase leicht und fruchtig, überwiegend gelbe Früchte. Vanille, Röstnoten und Holz sind auch dabei. Am Gaumen geschmeidig, süß und wieder sehr fruchtig mit gut eingebundenem Alkohol. Der Nachklang hat eine leichte metallische Note. Sehr guter fruchtiger Clarendon, preislich leider nicht so attraktiv.

Ein eher trockener Rum, bei dem die mineralischen und etwas säuerlichen Noten im Vordergrund stehen, dahinter dann die Frucht (grüner saurer Apfel und unreife Bananen). Hat was, brauch ich aber keine ganze Pulle von. Alter Falter, der Preis. Dafür lieber ein schönes Wochenende im Spa einbuchen. Hat man mehr von. 84/100 oder 5/10

Nachverkostumg der drei Clarendon Low Ester Abfüllungen aus dem Rest & Be Thankful Tasting. Höheres Mark und Ester als der MBK und schöne Noten von Vanille, Tabak, Papaya, gelbe Früchte … gefällt mir aber insgesamt weniger gut als der MBK.

Sehr gefällige Nase: süße Banane, Vanille, etwas Holz und rote Früchte. Dazu eine pfefferige aber dennoch frische Schärfe. Im Mund schließt er sich nahtlos an den Geruch an, der Alkohol ist auch super eingebunden. Im Abgang dann noch leichte Anklänge von Kaffee. Gefällt mir sehr gut!

Master tasting from Rest & Be Thankful via RumX This MM is very fruity on the nose with a dominant apple note. Unfortunately, it loses this fruitiness on the palate. Spice, pepper and wood dominate and the alcohol is not so well integrated, which is a shame, The finish also remains in this direction. The whole thing seems somewhat unfinished

Tasted during the RumX masterclass. Huge thanks the guys from R&BT for presenting their range! Very nice exploration of some low(we) ester marks. While some of the noses were a little light, the long aged expressions are very interesting on the palate across the board. Very interesting! :)

Nach dem RumX R&BT Tasting am 7.2. den Rest nochmal mit mehr Ruhe verkostet: Als dritter Rum ein 24jähriger Monymusk mit dem alten Marque AHJ, was nun dem MBK Marque enrspricht. An der Nase ähnlich wie der vorherige MBK, vielleicht etwas weniger ‚zitronig‘ und mehr Richtung winterliche Gewürzmischung. Am Gaumen recht würzig.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`.
