Precious Liquors Clarendon Jamaica Heroes Marcus Garvey 2010
Sip this one neat and give it a few minutes — the glass opens from sweet chocolate and vanilla into proper Jamaica: pineapple, banana, glue and a whiff of solvent over cedar. At 57.1% the ester side stays gentler than a Hampden, and one taster nailed it as "balanced and fruity" but maybe a touch light. A friendly way into Clarendon funk.

- Mild, gentle esters

Review by Chrischi78
A fruity Jamaican rum with pineapple, tropical fruit and floral notes. Very accessible, the alcohol is a little edgy. Slightly medicinal, mild, medium-long, fruity finish.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, esters and glue, grassy, flowery, fresh molasses with tea, fermented tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, citrus fruits, green fruits, cedar wood, roasted and rubber, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, caramel is out, the wood is spicy with allspice, smoky, the molasses is very fresh, minty, sour cherry pops up. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is medicinal with esters and glue, the molasses is sweet with honey, fresh with tea, flowery with lavender, grassy, fruity with tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, maracuja, citrus fruits, some are candied, the apple is baked, as the wood is roasted with burnt sugar, caramel, chocolate, spicy with baking spices, ginger. 8,4:The finish is medium long, dry&tannic, with toasted/roasted oak, smoky, spicy, pairing flowery(lavender) molasses, dark with black tea, earthy with cigar tobacco and various fruits with coconut, fermented banana, pineapple, some glue.
Review by Timo Groeger
Hatte eine echt süße Nase im ersten Moment er braucht seine Zeit im Glas. Wirklich viel Schokolade, Vanille und Karamell.. Am Gaumen dann eher Jamaika, viel Ester, Lösungsmittel und Klebstoff sowie tropische Früchte sind hier erkennbar.
Review by Skyfly
A great Jamaican that bears a strong resemblance to Queen Nanny in crosstasting. Lots of tropical fruit, glue, wood and a little ester. The sour cherry is noticeable again, accompanying the nose and palate. Passion fruit can also be tasted, as well as light spices and burnt sugar. However, the alcohol is a tick better integrated than in Queen Nanny.

#5937 08.11.2025 Having an online tasting with old friends covering, Denmark, Singapore, New Zealand and China. Hopefully we will all meet up in the beginning of the new year. Very nice and well balanced release. Fruity with good ABV integration.
Review by Leo Krüper
Solid Clarendon that doesn't stand out. Good value for money.
Review by Nils123
Very fruity, not too many esters. Becomes much spicier with water but also even fruitier.
Review by Volkmar Weber
A surprisingly "funky" fragrance with mild esters that immediately transports you to Jamaica - but without the heavy, spicy intensity of a Hampden. Instead, this rum impresses with its fine fruitiness with fresh pineapple and tart green apple notes - very accessible and extremely aromatic. The palate is again full of fruit, but without the force of typical Jamaican ester bombs. Ideal for newcomers to the world of Jamaican rums, as it is smooth and balanced. The alcohol is excellently integrated. Exotic fruits such as pineapple, papaya, passion fruit and some mango dominate, accompanied by mild spices such as cinnamon and a hint of clove, which gives it a slightly medicinal note. The finish is rather light and medium-long, with subtle notes of wood and fruit.
Review by Stijn Zino
Sublte, balanced and fruity. Accessible. Easy sipping. Very enjoyable but maybe a bit light.
