Review by DomM
Needs quite some time to breath. Once opened up, the nose is pretty well balanced gravitating towards tropical fruits and a hint of honey-sweetness alongside herbal notes. Very nice on the palate with some sweetness and tropical fruits again presenting an oily texture.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Strong Clarendon. Otherwise the bitterness predominates, but here everything is quite balanced. Nevertheless, of course, the usual dry tobacco notes. Compared with RX16692 Cadenhead 2010 Clarendon. This one stomps it into the ground. Nice, unique bottling.
Review by Alex1981
Pretty wild, young Clarendon that needs some water to tame. Once opened up a nice fruity/zesty profile develops. Yummy! //update: rating confirmed, but definitely needs water to shine and bring the abv down, otherwise it is a bit too rough
Review by Johannes
Wow, it's really special, but I really like it! Lots of power (although the alcohol is not badly integrated), lots of menthol, wood, yellow fruits, some salted caramel. At the beginning I had similarities to the Velier MM84, but then in the finish it seems younger.
Review by Mentalo
Braucht Zeit im Glas, damit der Alkohol nicht mehr überpräsent ist. Relativ trocken, fruchtige Noten, leicht bitter (vor allem im Abgang), Tabaknote, Holz, etwas Menthol. Ist keine schlechte Abfüllung, aber hat mich auch nicht überzeugt.
Review by Thunderbird
This is a strong Clarendon that needs its time in the glass. Even after ¾ of an hour, the alcohol is still clearly perceptible. But the spice (licorice, salt, allspice) and dark fruit are very present and clear. No Light sipper but great

#4203 Another local one from Singapore and this one (45-60 mins) is also pretty well balanced. Needs to rest as well before all flavours are there. Intense, fresh and fruity wit a bit of funk. The palate is warm and oily with less fruit than the nose suggests, but overall pretty good balance. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some tea and workshop notes.
Review by Lot-NAS
That’s a tough one, I really like the nose with anise, vanilla banana and some other tropic fruits. Palate and finish are also nice (with water) but it still feels kind of young and sharp and can’t really live up to the initial expectations. Nevertheless, it was a nice drop. Thanks for sharing Venomino.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very wild Clarendon! A few drops of water are definitely necessary here to "open" the rum... Slightly sour and bitter after lime, roasted sesame, honey-bananas and young wood with a slight salt note. I like it surprisingly well, as I'm not normally a Clarendon fan, but overall it's still very wild and young and you definitely have to be in the mood for it.
