An eight year old single cask of Clarendon from Hunter Laing’s Kill Devil, leaning into anise and licorice with a sweet, spicy core over ester, finishing astringent, bottled at a fierce cask strength, 65.1%, from ex-bourbon oak.
Description
Clarendon Kill Devil 2014 is a single cask from Hunter Laing's Scottish whisky-house rum line, bottled non-chill-filtered at natural strength in the bottler's purist style. It draws on the central Jamaican workhouse whose pot-still marks can turn distinctly characterful, and at full proof this one is assertive.
The nose is ester-driven, marking the Jamaican origin, and the palate takes an unusual turn toward anise and licorice with a sweet, spicy core, the herbal notes giving it a distinctive signature. The finish is astringent, a sharp close that comes with the territory at this strength. Bottled at a fierce 65.1% from ex-bourbon oak, it is a concentrated, spice-and-licorice-led Clarendon that wants water and patience. A bold single cask for drinkers who enjoy the more savoury, herbal side of Jamaican pot-still rum at overproof intensity.
