How does this rum taste?
The Plantation Ironroot Harbinger 115 Cask Finish is a rum distilled in 2007 by Clarendon distillery, Jamaica, and bottled at cask strength by Maison Ferrand at 50.4% ABV. This 14-year-old rum combines a sweet, syrupy palate with fruity and woody notes. Users describe it as an approachable Jamaican rum, with balanced sweetness enhanced by caramel and vanilla flavors. The aroma features prominent mango, wood, pineapple, and peppery spices. While its medium finish is amiable, some find the profile overly sweet or lacking the bold Jamaican funk typical of Clarendon. The bourbon cask influence is evident, providing a mellow, drinkable experience suitable for both newcomers and seasoned rum enthusiasts.

A good rum, but for me the finish does not really fit! He seems very artificial!
Clearly more pleasing than the Australian from 2009; coherent sweetness, which gives the rum a pleasant sweetness. In addition, Jamaica-typical fruit flavors, which are not too dominant, wood and quite grippy spices - not a spectacular profile, but overall nicely balanced and easy to drink.
A good Clarendon for an introduction to quiet Jamaica. The traditional fruity and fermented side is there, but in the background, behind a more woody and gourmand side (this rum has a strong Bourbon character). All in all, a jamaicain for a relaxed evening out, or to introduce you to Jamaica without scaring you away (but let's hope the other guy will want to try the fermented fruit next time 😆).
