Thompson Bros. Clarendon 2007
Anyone who likes their Jamaican pot still dry and a bit odd will find something here. Clarendon (Monymusk) in a lean, light-coloured style: glue and solvent on the nose, then bergamot, pear and black tea, with a chamomile note one member linked to their grandma's garden. It runs very dry — several call it astringent. Rewards a splash of water and some patience.
The community says- Fragrant tea nose
- Opens with water
- Very dry

Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Dry, tea-and-solvent Jamaican pot still Divides people: a promising, tea-and-solvent nose that turns bone-dry and austere on the palate. Funk fans who like it lean rate it high; some feel the mouth doesn't keep the nose's promise.

Review by John Coffey
Too dry... The nose is very promising... But in mouth it is not the same music... Disappointment.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Pretty fruity yet musty Moneymusk. Pot still probably. Not an easy one. Definitely not for everyone. Give it some time. A bit agricoly-esque too.
Review by Nika
Okay this brought me back to my grandmas garden where chamomiles grew between our fields. I like when there is some emotion involved when I degustate. So that is why 8 :) Also I sense some glue, polish

Read full review →I wouldn't have noted this one as being a Clarendon/Monymusk. Overall a really pleasant surprise and again apologies for not reviewing this sooner though in fairness I only got it on the 23rd June. I guess the whisky guys must have got their hands on this. Addendum you can still...
