Rum Shark Clarendon Jamaica Single Cask Selection 2014
One taster said this one "surprised me" — sharp on the nose at first, then a fun mix of Jamaican funk and technical notes: glue, nail polish, pineapple, mango, a little honey and spice. At 65.6% it runs warm but the alcohol sits well-integrated. Young Clarendon pot still, and it drinks like it — bright, esraty, and a touch rough around the edges.
The community says- Jamaican funk
- Tropical fruit
- But: Young, raw edge

Review by Matej
To be honest this one surprised me. First of all I do not like the color of the rum itself at all (ok it is younger rum but still). The aroma is quite sharp at the beginning, after, about 10 minutes combination of Jamaica funky style and technical aromas (this combination is very fun), little bit of honey, spice and fruits (pineapple and banana but really just a little). In taste again Jamaica and technical flavors (for me mostly like glue). Lot of fruits (citrus). For me just really nice rum.
Review by Rado Vito
Young clarendon. I could taste his older brother in the same time, so I can’t rate this rum too high. It is technical rum, heavy at the beginning with the full body and minty hints. Surprisingly sweet aftertaste.
