Clarendon Plantation Jamaica Single Cask MMW 1999
One taster nailed it: "Fruity complex and a rather nice arran cask." This 1999 Clarendon MMW leans elegant over wild — banana, pineapple and orange with malty caramel and light whisky spice from the cask finish. At 46.7% it's gentle and well-integrated, though several people wish it hit harder. A refined Jamaican rather than a funk bomb.
- Fruity and complex
- Whisky-cask spice
- Well-integrated alcohol

How does Clarendon Plantation Jamaica Single Cask MMW 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 30 community reviews.
Elegant fruity Clarendon, gentle at 46.7% Well-liked for its fruit-and-spice balance and clever Arran cask, but a recurring gripe: at 46.7% it feels a touch light and short on the punch a Jamaican fan expects.

Review by Double Barrel
A woody bitterness, but the double aging in Cognac casks typical of Plantation and the second glass, which is quickly refilled, soon get the better of it. Exotic fruits, apple and some light esters (MonyMusk Wedderburn), the influence of the Arran cask is discreet. At just 46.7%, you can take this one out with your friends without looking like a crazy guy who only drinks methylated spirits ;-) We're delighted that Plantation has got its hands on WIRD and its shares in NRJL, and we'll be even happier when we're able to party with friends again!

Richtig gut! Schöne Komplexität!
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
From my point of view, Plantation has (once again) lacked the courage to land a sure hit. The initial situation was fantastic a 17 years tropically matured MMW of beautiful balance. I also understand the idea with the finish. It makes the rum more elegant, enhances the continental fruit basket of the nose, the spicy whiskey notes give a nice baked apple with garam masala. But then the dilution spoils almost everything. Even the nose is rather light. The play of fruit and spice works in the mouth as well, but there's a lack of depth here to bring out the flavors. Too bad.

Review by Thunderbird
A round rum..which for me but unfortunately a few percent missing! Thus lacks some pep!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Das arran cask ist nicht zu dominant und fügt sich gut ein.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Plantation Jamaica 99: traditional Jamaican markers (bananas, solvents, ...). It's good but it lacks pep for a Jamaican. 46,7% is too light for this type of rum.
