Thompson Bros. Clarendon Pot Distilled Jamaican Rum (Bar Tre) JMM 2000
Sipped neat, this drinks softer and fruitier than most Jamaicans — closer to Barbados, one taster guessed blind. Expect papaya, banana, mango and lychee with just a touch of glue, caramel and cream toffee rounding it off. The 20 years and mellow proof make it easy going, though several members wish it had more punch — a couple call it a bit thin and watery.

How does Thompson Bros. Clarendon Pot Distilled Jamaican Rum (Bar Tre) JMM 2000 taste?
Summarized by AI from 13 community reviews.
Soft, fruity Clarendon that's light on punch A gentle, fruit-forward Clarendon most rate a good sipper. The recurring gripe: low intensity and a thin body keep it from the top tier, with a mild aged bitterness on the finish.

Nice continental Clarendon, full of fruits and well integrated. Would have loved to see it with a higher abv and some more intensity. //update: rated it down a bit, in direct comparison to others the low abv and lack of complexity gets more pronounced but still a good sipper

Very, very fruity Clarendon. Blind, I would have guessed Barbados. Tropical fruits and yellow fruits are noticeable here, but also a hint of caramel and creamy toffee. But it just lacks the punch for me, it's too thin.

#6569 28.03.2026 - Part 4 The first online tasting of 2026 of the group we had in Shanghai. Funny that we are now living in different parts of the world again. Singapore, Sweden, UK, Denmark and Thailand 😊 Thank you for the samples Petter. This is a very nice bottling that can be caught at auction at a pretty good price tag. The nose fruity with banana, mango and glue. There is a very light wood and musty touch. The palate is oily and fruity with citrus, banana, earthy, salt and chocolate notes. The finish is long and oily with light roasted wood, faint smoke, mango, banana and caramel.
Review by Johannes
Surprisingly fruity for a Clarendon. The volume percentages are well chosen. It does not appear thin on the palate. Nice long finish.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Fruity, continental Clarendon. Fruity profile, light esters, alcohol is very well integrated. Slight sweetness, yellow fruits, a slight bitter note in the finish, probably due to the long ageing, but which fits well into the profile. Easy sipping rum, a nice rum, but lacking that special something for a higher rating.
Review by Mentalo
It has really nice fruity notes, but is unfortunately a little too watery.
Review by Александр Иванов
Nose: fruits, herbals, vanilla, yellow fruits. Little bit musty. Glue, some polish. Palate: Sweety, caramel, toffee, dry sweet ginger, some glue, paint, solvents. Aftertaste: still sweet, some ginger, little bit esters, glue.
Review by Henry Davies
A hint medicinal. Quite thin on the nose which surprises me, quince and jelly, with an even herb and fruity balance, papaya and lychee. The mouth is balanced and quite delicate with some rotting tropical fruits and a hint of lychee and caramel. It’s good but with a hint of bitterness The alcohol is not perfectly integrated which only comes to the fore towards the finish. For the ABV the finish is punchy, with some cloves and a touch of astringent menthol. It’s not the best and a bit one dimensional for me
