Clarendon 2009/2022 Single Cask #258 + 259 Rum (50cl, 64.3%)

This Rum Artesanal bottling combines rum from casks 258 and 259. Clarendon distilled the molasses rum in December 2009 using the pot-still method, and it was bottled in April 2022 after twelve years of ageing. It carries the distillation mark EMB. The edition comprises 738 bottles of 0.5 litres at 64.3% alcohol. It contains no colouring and is delivered in a gift box. Its character is shaped by the contrast between a tropically fruity nose and a distinctly spicier palate. The nose combines sweet fruit notes of lychee, pineapple and mango with ripe banana and banana chips, plus fine oak spice. The palate brings strong oak, nutmeg and anise to the fore, with mango and banana in the background and a light bitterness. The long finish retains wood notes and fine spice.
