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.

Aggregated from 28 community reviews.

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.

Perfect for

Fans of light, older low-ester Jamaicans

Less suitable for

RumX/Kirsch-Online-Tasting Rest&Be Thankful! 24 Jahre alter Low Ester AHJ (ein altes Mark, ist heute gleich einen MBK), sehr ähnlich dem anderen AHJ. Nase: cremig, mit Zitrusfrüchten, Banane, Stachelbeere und grünem Apfel. Leicht holzig und würzig. Zudem ist da eine feine Honig-Note. Mit der Zeit entfaltet er sich mehr und mehr. Sehr schön und fein. 8,4 Gaumen: deutlich intensiver als die Nase. Sehr süß zu Beginn, mit Honig und vor allem Süßholz. Hat eine sehr cremige, fast speckige Textur. Er ist aber auch leicht salzig-pfeffrig. Alles -auch der Alkohol- gut ausbalanciert. Da gibts noch einiges zu entdecken. Muss mich noch an die low-light Jamaikas heran arbeiten. 7,9

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

Überrachend schwach an der Nase! Gewürze, Karamell, Honig, Apfel, Himbeer. Im Mund etwas besser und intensiver, immer noch Apfel und Gewürze. Komplexer und langer Abgang, recht scharf, aber auch röstig/rauchig und pflanzlich, sowie süß. Schwer einzsutufen als Gesamtpaket. Wenn die Nase besser wäre, könnte ich mehr Punkte vorstellen.

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.

Sehr leicht in der Nase, aber rund. Frisch mit grünem Apfel, etwas Banane und wieder viel hellem Holz. Vanille, etwas Torf/Rauch am Gaumen. Insgesamt sehr würzig, aber auch hier gerade so nicht alkoholisch scharf. Etwas mehr Süße. Funk und Frucht im Abgang.

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.

Da ich beim Tasting leider, dank der Deutschen Bahn nicht dabei sein konnte, hole ich das jetzt mal in Ruhe nach. Vom ersten Eindruck ist er meines Erachtens eher in die Kategorie Easy Sipper einzuordnen. Sehr kurzweilig. Aber für den Preis ist er für mich eher ein NoGo, sorry.
