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.

The look inside the bottle

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.

fans of fruity, low-funk aged Jamaicans

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.
