Berry Bros & Rudd Clarendon Jamaican Rum 2004
Sip it neat with a drop of water and this Clarendon shows a bright, fruity side of Jamaica — crushed banana and pineapple up front, funky esters and solvent underneath, with light wood and a hint of smoke. Several members call it elegant and round rather than a wild ester bomb. Long, warm finish. At 62.4% the heat is mostly in check.

How does Berry Bros & Rudd Clarendon Jamaican Rum 2004 taste?
Summarized by AI from 16 community reviews.
Bright, fruity Jamaican funk, on the gentle side Members land on the same verdict: fruity, funky and easy to like, but not very complex — a rounded, "gentle" Jamaican rather than a challenging one. A few find the alcohol a touch loose.

Review by Timo Groeger
A toast to the DB, thanks to their incompetence I get to drink rum :) Ester, solvent and pineapple on the nose. On the palate also esters, as well as tropical fruits (pineapple and banana). Alcohol not really well integrated.

Review by Boletus
The really pleasant and fine, though somewhat restrained, smell consistently sets the direction that the taste will take. However, the "light" profile in the mouth with its tropical fruit esters and notes of honey, marzipan, and sparkling spices proves to be significantly more intense than announced. Fun!
Review by zabo
Very fine on the nose, in the mouth I find it very funky. Alcohol m.M. very well integrated. I like it very much. Very fruity and round. Although a bit simple but he makes you want more.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Very light color in the glass for 17 years. The nose is fruity, slightly smoky and woody. Nice funky ester notes. Very similar on the palate, not particularly sweet. A little nuttiness is added on the finish. Overall not particularly complex, but pleasantly intense in the fruit. Alcohol is well integrated.
Review by Djehey
A rather elegant Jamaican with a fat, mashed banana-like frame mixed with pineapple. Not bad at all. The nose is more discreet than the mouth. On the palate, it's fruity, but also pastry-like: brioche, pastries, almond paste. Very nice.
Review by Agricoler
Tasted yesterday at the Finest Spirits at the booth of Berry Bros. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. For a long time again had a Monymusk in the glass. It captivates by its certain simplicity, but at the same time is a very round Jamaican. Of course, you can not expect anything too complex.Nevertheless, a real positive surprise.
Review by 86kringo
I like Jamaica, but this one is a bit too refined and quiet for me!
