Rum Shark Clarendon 2007
Fans of technical Clarendon call this one of Rum Shark's best fills, and the reviews back it up. Seventeen years has smoothed the pot-still edge — tropical fruit, dark chocolate, black tea and a whiff of solvent, all wrapped in charred oak. At 60.8% the alcohol sits well integrated; several tasters say they barely feel the proof. Ester lovers who also want age will grin here.

Aged, polished Clarendon pot still with tamed heat The recurring verdict: a polished, well-aged Clarendon where the heat is tamed and the fruit sings. Only a Clarendon skeptic among the reviewers came away lukewarm.

RumShark really nailed this one. Beautiful technical Clarendon. It’s not outright technical perfection like the NROJ set, but a pleasant, I’d say velvety technicality complemented by the power of thinner, tropical fruit, chocolate, black tea, burnt wood. In the finish the other flavors fade and pure technicality and alcohol strength appear. Yeah, I like this!

Full of taste, little bit sharp but anyway - Clarendon is not my favourite distillery
Review by Tomas Hajlich
Barva took a nice mahogany but weaker compared to Ten Cane nonetheless beautiful. Comparison with RS1 is difficult because RS1 was an ultra wild thing :D this is more moderate in the nose but hints are there. Doesn't sting with alcohol. First tasting... Wow, super! Ester Jamaican but you can feel the age which gives a pleasant smoothness and you can smell the wood which I like in older Jamaicans. Alcohol is well integrated for me, I can't exactly describe the flavors but for me they are desirable. More bottles like this! For me a deserved 8.5/10

Vintage 2007. With 8.5 out of 10, it belongs to the better ones I've had in my glass.
Review by Pavel Jirak
This Clarendon is one of the best rums Rum Shark has bottled so far. 60.8% is not noticeable at all in the nose or taste. Very pleasant technical and slightly fruity aroma, which multiplies after sipping and on the tongue comes alive as an absolute taste experience for all lovers of Clarendon rums.
