La Maison Du Whisky Clarendon Rum Jamaica (Flag Series) EMB 2010
Younger and wilder than the Clarendons people usually reach for — that's the first thing regulars notice. The nose leans fruity and fresh (pineapple, guava, citrus, a little vanilla), then the palate turns loud: glue, esters, menthol, spice and a bitter, phenolic edge. At 66% the alcohol isn't fully tamed, and a couple of tasters flag that. Give it time in the glass and it settles.
The community says- Big tropical fruit
- Classic glue esters
- But: Hot at 66%

On the nose, classic Clarendon aromas with a great kick of bread and citrus. Really great aroma. A young EMB profile on the palate. Still quite wild, but pleasant to drink thanks to the lovely fruitiness. Very nice rum. A clear recommendation!

Leckerer Clarendon. Leider zu teuer für mein Empfinden.
Review by DomM
Nose starts of rather harsh but with some time to breath develops a nice basket of continental fruits, intermingling with some classic „Clarendon herbs“, spices and notes of glue. I‘d be interested to get some info on continental vs. tropical aging on this one. For me the nose displays a continent Clarendon profile at least 🤔 On the palate better balanced then I‘ve expected. Citrus notes, vanilla, some wood and sweetness. Lemon macarons! Best out of the 2010 EMBs so far for me.
Review by Thunderbird
I find the nose to be extraordinarily fruity (tropical and citrus fruits), fresh and a little vanilla. That's really good... on the palate, however, it shows its true young and impetuous face. Citrus fruits, spices, wood and a strong bitter note present themselves with full force... you have to digest that first...but with longer time it becomes more and more pleasing... a good young bottling of a Clarendon, but clearly too expensive

Ungewöhnlich Würzig ... 😊 Fruchtig frisch mir schönem Funk . Leichte Holznoten mit Zitrusfrüchten , Vanille und Banane.. Garnicht schlecht... Im Mai Tai macht er eine solide leckere Vorstellung mit 3/5 .
Review by zabo
I must confess, I find this young Clarendon really tasty. Nice and wild with lots of fruit and glue. From this point of view, I like it even better than the older, longer-aged ones, which aren't really my profile at the moment.
Review by Timo Groeger
Dachte echt im ersten Moment das dies ein TDL ist, aber ist er nicht :) Ist dann doch eher Jamaika, tropische Früchte und viel Ester sowie ne Menge Klebstoff. Aber ansonsten ein echt solider Jamaikaner, prost 🦧
Review by Serge
Decent, younger Clarendon with pronounced notes of glue, glue, varnish, something medicinal as well as a young woody note with vanilla and caramel as well as spices. On the fruit side, I perceive a lot of guava, unripe banana, unripe pineapple, lime and candied lemon peel. Rather fresh. Rum is delicious but PLV not so good
Review by Johannes
I like it very much! A little tiring to drink, but a beautiful, somewhat young and untamed EMB. Somewhat bitter, menthol, astringent.
Review by Mentalo
Ein „junger“ EMB. Fruchtig, etwas Holz, Menthol. Die Geschmacksnoten sind auch gut ausbalanciert. Eigentlich ein schöne Abfüllung, wenn der Alkohol nicht so schlecht eingebunden wäre. Auch bei längerer Standzeit leider. Trotzdem eine gute Abfüllung wenn man das EMB Profil mag.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Great nose of confectionery, papaya and banana, as well as herbs and some caramel. On the palate, the menthol note typical of Clarendon together with fresh young wood, varnish, papaya and lots of citrus fruits. Overall, however, the alcohol could be much better integrated... Also too woody overall for my taste.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Clarendon that's different from what we're used to, with an alternating bouquet of exotic fruit and citrus, spicy wood and vanilla, pastries, herbs and phenolic and medicinal notes. An olfactory profile that's quite spicy and well-balanced. The fruity, medicinal and woody-spicy triptych is repeated on the palate, with citrus, esters, polish, glue, chili pepper and caramel. Quite funky and concentrated in the glass. The alcohol is well integrated, despite the high alcohol content. The finish is very long, with a comforting warmth of chili, accompanied by fermented notes of esters and tropical fruit. You can feel the dryness, but also the elegance of the well-structured, well-balanced profile. A good modern-day Clarendon, a welcome change from the very old profiles bottled recently.
Review by Fuwi
Kein sehr gefälliger Rum, finde ich. Er ist lecker, keine Frage. Sehr intensive Früchte, Ananas, Guave, grüne Banane - ein reicher Korb an Ester. Leider finde ich den Alkohol nicht so gut eingebunden, dazu ist er sehr phenolisch und im Abgang kommt bei mir eine Bitterkeit hoch, die den Eindruck leider schmälern - nicht ganz mein Fall
Review by Buddudharma
Schönes, etwas jugendlicheres EMB-Profil. Durch die HV-Abfüllung und insbesondere die 1995er-Abfüllungen ist aber natürlich ein Standard geschaffen, gegen den dieser Rum schwer ankommt. Auch in Anbetracht des Preises daher keine dringende Empfehlung…
