The Colours of Rum 1995 Clarendon Jamaica edition No.2 26yo 65.7% 700ml is a distinguished offering from The Colours of Rum brand. This limited edition rum, with only 260 bottles produced, originates from the renowned Clarendon Distillery in Jamaica. Distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2022, this 26-year-old rum showcases the unique characteristics developed from extended aging in Jamaica's tropical climate. Clarendon, home to Monymusk rum and Captain Morgan, leverages its pot stills and column stills to produce both light and heavy molasses-based rums. On the nose, this rum opens up beautifully after about 20 minutes, revealing an intricate bouquet of ripe tropical fruits, vanilla, and spices derived from the barrel. The aroma is intense yet well-balanced, offering hints of mint, citrus, and wood. The palate is equally complex, with a surprising alcoholic kick that mellows beautifully with a few drops of water. The fruitiness melds seamlessly with the rich spice and barrel notes, creating a harmonious profile that's rare for a rum aged this long. The finish is intense and persistent, echoing the spicy and fruity elements from the nose and palate, with additional layers of mint, lime, and menthol. Reviewers praise this rum for its complex and demanding profile, making it exciting for connoisseurs. Despite its high ABV, the rum is not overwhelmingly bitter, and its elegant complexity shines through with just a few drops of water. The 1995 Clarendon Jamaica edition No.2 is particularly noted for its exceptional balance, mint notes, and powerful yet integrated flavors. Given its rarity and exceptional quality, this rum is considered a must-try for enthusiasts, even at a price range of £250 - £750 per bottle.
