Blackadder Clarendon Raw Cask Rum Jamaica Rum MMV 2007 13yr 65,8%

"A rum that only three aficionados have rated here so far and where opinions seem to differ. I'm pretty high up in my rating and therefore almost with Sebastian Kornett. The rum impresses with its full-bodied character and typical Clarendon notes and looks as if it has been aged for a very long time and is still from the 20th century. Winner of the evening. And the competition was strong (including Velier Royal Navy Rum and Perola REV 1994)."

"Phew. MMW is a difficult marrow. When you hit the right maturity, it's a fantastic fruit bomb - as in the first Plantation One Time Limited. This rum, unfortunately, lacks the necessary maturity. The nose is rather green, lots of vegetal notes and rather unripe tropical fruit. In the mouth, the rum is even more aggressive, the alcohol is not well integrated, the tropical fruits still unripe and the medicinal notes replace the herbal. In addition, the typical? Clarendon Maggi notes. Either my senses are still blocked today or the rum is really very immature."
