Review by Martin G (Denmark)
First impression of this delicious bottle I'd very good, and I have been looking forward to this one. The JAMAICA 2003 49,5% birds series I love, and find that bottel very nice. The firste taste of this new one, is very good but not as good as the last one. But it is just my first impression, it may change 😊
Review by Christoph
The nose has an unpleasant pungent alcoholic, chemical note that if you are not careful also appears on the palate. The taste is fermented banana and very sweet pineapple.
Review by Louis Zimmermann
Très agréable dès le nez, sans aucune agressivité, ce Clarendon balance direct de belles vibes de fruits tropicaux bien mûrs, d’olive verte et un petit côté vernis. En bouche, c’est une vraie salade de fruits exotiques : mangue, banane, avec une petite touche acidulée de fruit de la passion. Quelques épices viennent pimenter le tout et apportent une jolie complexité. La finale est moyenne à longue, bien fruitée, avec une fraîcheur qui donne envie d’y revenir.
Review by DomM
Would not have guessed Clarendon in a blind tasting I think… intensive fruits (banana) on the nose. To me the cognac finish is very present in all segments. Not bad, but somewhat not balanced enough to make a outstanding low ester Jamaican. ABV is fine to me. Does not feel watered down while still being very approachable.
Review by Leo Krüper
For the price a nice starter. Nice everyday sipper without the mega complexity and demands.
Review by Brian B.
Very easy to drink - might be boring in the long run. Lacks the Jamaican vipe - to "domesticated", but not a bad rum.
Review by TheJackDrop
"Toutes les notes d’un jamaïcain avec une rondeur en plus, sympa ! Peut etre un léger manque de funk ? En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Poivré, Fruits tropicaux, Alcoolique En bouche : Agrumes, Très mûrs, Fruits secs La finale plutot orientee vers : Cannelle, Épicé, Fruits tropicaux"

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I bought a few of these bottles and I think that the price to quality is very good.The nose is fruity and woody with vanilla and a hint of grass.The palate is warm, lightly dry and sweet with wood and fruits trailed by vanilla and earthy notes.The finish is medium long and warm/lightly dry with wood and fruits.A very good buy thinking about the price tag.
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose sweet notes of Red Apple with subtle hints of spice and oak with brown sugar. Taste reveals an even sweeter punch with fresh citrus or apples followed by oak and spice while being very smooth. Finish medium length with the sweet fruit and citrus slowly fairing away with a mild spice in the background. Mixed Pepsi Zero: No Pepsi Zero on hand. Super sad.
Review by Sven
Typical Jamaican on the nose. Tropical fruits such as pineapple and papaya lightly fermented with esters. Plus vanilla and herbs. Not very complex. Could do with a little more depth. Otherwise a nice rum and ok for the price.
Review by Rodolphe
Good Jamaican, good value for money (even if we can find better I think). It lacks a bit of depth and complexity in the mouth. The nose needs a little time but evolves in a really nice way.
Review by Vincent D
Nez pas très expressif, sur la vanille et la banane. En bouche, l'alcool est présent, un peu agressif à la première gorgée, plus doux ensuite. Une sensation de sirop epaix assez étrange. J'ai d'abord cru que le rhum avait été sucré mais il semble que ce ne soit pas le cas. Du fruit, beaucoup (banane, melon ?), Du piquant, du bois en fin de bouche. Finale moyenne, sur une vanille et une chaleur pas désagréable. Un rhum sympa. Mais on trouve lieux pour 75€.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Jamaican rum that plays more on subtlety than on high esters. The nose immediately reminds us of the terroir of origin with ripe exotic fruits, citrus and phenolic notes. Woody, spicy and vegetal notes complete this homogeneous profile. The attack in mouth is supple, the rum is very fluid and is easily drinkable. We remain on the register previously described, notably tropical fruits, woody vanilla, spices and a vegetal touch. The finish is of medium length and remains faithful to the palate and the nose. A rum which plays less on the card of the aromatic concentration but which wants to be rather refined and pleasant.
