Clarendon Canerock
Vanilla, coconut and caramel lead here, with cinnamon and a little ginger behind them — several tasters call it a liquid dessert or vanilla pudding in a glass. It's a spiced rum from Clarendon distillery, bottled by Maison Ferrand, and it's sweet. Fans love the creamy, pastry-like feel; skeptics find the vanilla synthetic and the Jamaican base buried under sugar.

- Smooth, creamy body
- But: High sugar content

Aggregated from 309 community reviews.
Sweet, creamy vanilla-coconut spiced rum People are divided: sweet-tooth drinkers find it a smooth, creamy vanilla-coconut treat, while others call the vanilla artificial and the whole thing far too sweet to read as real rum.

Review by Schnapsschuesse
Vanilla pudding on the nose, spices very nicely integrated into a thick load of fruit. Not artificial, no weird notes, one of the roundest noses I've encountered on a spiced rum so far. The pudding stays on the palate too, but it turns summery spicy. The sweetness is kept in check, with just a slight sharpness towards the finish. Delicious!

Delicious spiced rum, is very tasty to enjoy neat. Can also be used as a mix in various combinations. Tasty quality spiced rum that is not extremely sweet. but certainly gives a velvety mouthfeel. The bottle also looks very nice. The total look of Canerock ROCKS

Overall a way too sweet rum in my opinion. Had a glass of this spiced rum after a better dinner at Såstaholms Castle just north of Stockholm. The Canerock Jamaica Spiced is pot still rum from Clarendon and Long Pond bottled by Alexandre Gabriel and Maison Ferrand. It’s infused with vanilla, coconut and ginger. Thereafter it’s aged for 6 months in PX-Sherry barrels and finally it gets a dosage of 25gpl of sugar.

Retasting this one and would have loved to try it at a higher ABV. Well price to quality is an absolute hammer. You get a lot for your money here. I was pleasantly surprised by this bottle. The nose is complex and well rounded with fruit, and spices trailed by chocolate, coffee and caramel. Try and leave the empty glass for a few hours and then whif it again :-) The palate is sweet and fruity with wood, spices and caramel. The finish is medium long and sweet with wood, spices and a light minty note.
Review by Sam 🥃
Canerock is a Jamaican spiced rum from Maison Ferrand, infused with natural spices. The vanilla beans are from Madagascar, the coconut from the Caribbean and the ginger is local. It's a spiced rum with unbeatable value for money. One of the best I've ever tasted, with its notes of vanilla, coconut, chocolate and spices, what more could you ask for? It's not too sweet either, which makes it really gourmand and pastry-like. With a really nice bottle and a very pretty wooden turtle illustration, I really like it, and it's unanimously appreciated by my friends and family.

Rich, spicy and sweet - but not overly sweet. Long aftertaste
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Habe diesen Rum jetzt deutlich abgewertet. Mein letzter Verzehr liegt über ein Jahr zurück da mochte ich noch diese süßen Rums. Inzwischen ist dieses nicht mehr mein Fall. Schmeckt wie Karamell Pudding.
Review by Fayaman971
Un rhum qui se boit sans artifice. Au nez , une odeur de noix de coco très agréable . En bouche , on ressent la vanille , la coco et même du caramel avec des épices qui rend ce rhum délicieux . À goûter absolument !

04.2024 First impression: sweet rum, which also comes in a pretty bottle thanks to a generous marketing budget. Jamaica? Nose: sweet, toffee, caramel, coffee, roasted aromas Palate: sweet, toffee, caramel, coffee, roasted aromas Finish: sweet, short Conclusion: sweet, liqueur, can be drizzled on desserts, overall rating remains 7.0 1st Tasting 2022 (?) uncommented

Madagascar vanilla very present which slightly attenuates the coconut! A real liquid dessert
Review by Oliver
Schöne Jamaika-Basis. Für Spiced-Rum-Fans eine Empfehlung!
Review by LukaŽiga
6:On the nose, the rum gently settles on a bed of sweet spices. It's coated with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, like a smooth coconut punch. One could even speak of a creamy rum, so mellow are the aromas. With a little swirling of the liquid in the glass, the spices are released in a cloud of fragrance reminiscent of incense or patchouli. 5,8:The palate is very pastry-like, with sweet spices such as vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon, as well as a buttery, brioche-like sensation. The roundness is balanced, and the coconut milk and almond are quite tasty, as in a profile of American oak taken to the extreme. 5:The sweetness remains on the finish, roundedness vains... Small print:We still have to point out, that this is spiced rum. Edit:5.5.26, used in chocolate making..
Review by Rumbaer
Ein sehr guter spiced mit angenehmer Dosage von 25g Zucker. Es geht also doch, Spiced Rum ohne unmengen an Zucker und künstlichen Aromen (Hallo DonPapa) Im der Nase viel Vanille, gefolgt von fruchtigen und holzigen Noten. Im Mund zuerst dominant Vanille, dann Holz und im Abgang leichte Kokosnuss. Bleibt angenehm und nach einem guten Essen ein schöner Digestif.
Review by Ben Macfarlane
Lovely sweet smell of caramel and long lasting taste of vanilla.
Review by Vincent D
Test de ce spiced sans grande conviction et finalement pas déçu. Ce n'est pas écoeurant et plutôt sympa. C'est avant tout une boisson à servir ultra rafraîchie. Si on la prend pour ce qu'elle est, alors elle est agréable et l'utilisation de rhum jamaïcain amène un twist sympa.
Review by Anthony
J’adore ce rhum ! Peut-être bien un de mes préférés équilibre parfait entre la coco, la vanille et son côté boisé/épicé qui complexifie le tous j’adooore et je valide à 100% autant l’été on the rock ou l’hiver, il es génial !
Review by Andi
Nice desert "rum" with which friends can be surprised after dinner. Personally, however, much too sweet, use it only for cocktails.
Review by rum_sk
Another Revisit: Very controversial, I like it one time and hate it the other time. Anyways it is a bottle kill and I am not going for another one. Taking down slightly from 6.9 to 6.8. Revisiting: Agree 100% with what I said. I need to mention that I got used to it more than I thought. The taste is something I never felt in a rum, very specific signature like, I still think it is artificial but being so specific, I learned to like it so I am adding a 1 point up.Original review: I must admit that I did not like it at first. All I got was just an unnatural synthetic smell/taste. Don't get me wrong, it is still there but after 3rd try, I noticed it's complexity. First of all it is sweet alright.There are various notes in the taste as well as smell ranging from vanilla, caramel, toffee, milk chocolate, marzipan, nougat to cardamom.Very complex however, it is unnatural and that is what is wrong with this one, you instantly know that the taste is unnatural, synthetic almost like if some real chemical flavor has been added which brings this one down for me.I believe that people who prefer sweet rums would certainly love it but for me it's really on the edge,so that I cannot figure out whether it's too much for me or not.Btw they label coconut taste-maybe synthetic one.
Review by frseec
Dieser Rum trifft meinen Geschmack auf den Punkt. Die Vanille-Kokos Note im Geruch macht richtig Party. Im Geschmack kommt gleich eine süße Note welche dann von einer leichten Schärfe und Kokos Note begleitet wird. Die Süße und der Kokos Geschmack bleiben auch im Abgang erhalten.
