CoR Clarendon Jamaica No. 16 1995
World-class Clarendon: intense tropical fruit, minty freshness, and beautifully integrated wood with a very long, warm finish. Power and balance at cask strength impress nearly everyone.
Ripe Clarendon from the strong 1995 vintage with a classic profile. On the nose, ripe fruit, peach, along with mint/menthol, black tea, wood, and a warm spice note. On the palate, dense and balanced with dark fruit, dry oak, spice, and a fine, slightly bitter structure that holds well. Feels clearly matured and serious, without being overly funky. No standout highs, but a very clean, coherent bottling with depth and good balance.Read more

Auto-translatedUn rhum gouté au GRF en 2025. Un nez de fruits compotés et trop mûrs, intense et plein avec du bois bien intégré et une touche de menthol rafraîchissant. La bouche est ample et riche, des fruits tropicaux trop mûrs équilibrés grâce au menthol. La finale est toujours bien fruitée, puis les fruits diminuent et le bois se fait plus sentir. Un très beau Clarendon.
The additional time in the cask added some more woodies to the EMB while simultaneously rounding off some edges wishing are common in most of the younger bottlings. The wood is in no way overwhelming but makes this one remarkably balanced and round. For me it cannot quite dethrone my 95 reference from Velier, but it is closer than others. I’m pleasantly surprised: top notch bottling.
Fair rating: Nose exceptionally good. Palate a little weaker, but still first class! The mint is really super and harmonizes perfectly with the tropical fruits! Alcohol perfectly integrated!
