A long-aged, low-ester Clarendon from Rest and Be Thankful, offering fresh stone and yellow fruit, citrus, almond and baking spice over vanilla and gentle wood, refined rather than funky, bottled cask strength from a single 23-year 1998 cask at 54.8%.
Description
Rest and Be Thankful bottled this Clarendon as a Pure Single Jamaican Rum, the MBK marque, distilled in 1998 and aged 23 years in ex-bourbon from a single cask at 54.8%. MBK sits at the lighter, lower-ester end of Clarendon's range, so this leans refined and fruity rather than funky.
From the double-retort pot still and molasses, it shows vanilla, citrus and light wood on the nose, still fresh and youthful despite its age, then a palate of fresh stone and yellow fruit, almond, dried fruit and baking spice with a creamy texture. The finish turns roasted with lime and licorice. This is a relaxed, elegant Clarendon for drinkers who want long ageing and clean fruit over high-ester aggression. Its added-sugar status is unconfirmed, though the profile reads dry. A poised, contemplative pour at cask strength.
