Anyone who likes a fruit-forward Jamaican without going full ester-bomb will feel at home here. Expect green apple, lime and tropical fruit up front with a clear thread of glue underneath, then a building spice and a touch of bitterness on the finish. Bottled at cask strength but not aggressive — a few tasters happily poured a second glass.
The community says- Apple and lime fruit
- Light Jamaican glue
- Keep in mind: Bitter on finish

The look inside the bottle
How does Clarendon Plantation Jamaica 2012 Calvados Cask taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity apple-and-glue Jamaican, medium finish Most find it a fruity, apple-and-glue pot-still Jamaican that drinks well neat or over ice. The spice builds and a mild bitterness creeps into the finish. Don't mix it with cola.

On The Rocks: On the nose it is a more subtle aroma with a balanced mild spice, fruit, oak and sweetness. Taste reveals a progressively building moderate spice with a balanced sweetness, oak and fruit notes. The spice quickly overtakes the rest of the balanced taste profile. There is a slightly delayed chest burn that was pleasant. Finish is medium length with a sweetness but also a slightly building bitterness with a mild fruit/apple sweetness. This is not a typical flavour bomb that you could pour a gentleman’s drink over ice. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose Dusty old Pepsi zero warehouse. Taste is a confusing slightly sweet yet bitter taste that is not overly pleasant. Finish is very short. I don’t not recdomend drinking mixed.

So here we have the next Plantation. It's mostly fruity, with citrus and tropical fruits noticeable. Also, definitely some glue is detectable. Solid Plantation for sure.

Vintage 2012. With an 8.0 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.

Fruity, smooth, I'll take another glass.
